Review summary

The market Place is 100% better than the Horizon court, and honestly, the food was better for me then it was in the main dining room! Room service is the best ever and you can add items to your breakfast menu that is left out on the door handle, and they will gladly fill your requests! This made our daily wake up call each morning very enjoyable.

Embarkation

Extremely smooth and organized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food in the main dining room lacked flavor in many dishes, and the quality just seems to be less than perfect more and more. Although the workers were exemplary, the food choices were also dim.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Wedding game, 100% Triva, not great Bingo, too expensive Pool by the Sanctuary, A+++

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The main shows in the Princess Theater was amazing and truly spectacular! This has improved and we were thrilled and really enjoyed ourselves. The comedians were so funny and other than wishing for more time, we rate this 5 out of 5 and an A+

Could have been a lot worse, but still there is signs of wear and dirt where there ought not to be

Cabin / Stateroom

Beds, bedding, pillows - Oh my word, the BEST!! Princess takes #1 in the comfort of sleeping and napping, for sure

Ship tip

1. Bring canned soda to use as a mixer or something different - they are too costly on the ship and you are allowed to bring them with you on your carry on. 2. Order and pay for water bottles to have in your stateroom. We ordered 3 cases, at under $7 each case of 12, and wished we had even order another case! Best deal yet, and you do not have to carry those on. Use an empty water bottle to re-fill in the buffet with lemonade or iced tea and keep in your fridge in your cabin. 3. Go to the Princess theater at least 45 minutes early to get seats. So what you wait, order a cocktail and meet new friends, or enjoy some people watching with your cruise friends and family. 4. Hooks. Bring good quality magnetic Hooks to put up on your walls, as least 4 of them. Use for your hats, lanyards, scarf, necklace fan (yes, these are a must on a hot cruise!) and other items to better organize. 5. Tip your cabin steward a little cash with a cute card - or in our case I made a crab towel animal and had it hold the note with the $20. Our steward was thrilled and we loved making her happy, plus she took EXCELLENT care of us and deserved even another $20 cash at the end :) These people work EXTRA hard and long hours to make your room and your stay enjoyable and comfy.
