Review summary

We went out for the third time on this ship in the last four years. She is a wonderful ship that is beginning to show her age. With that being said. She is such a wonderful and elegant ship that we just adore her. The MDR was wonderful and the waitstaff we had for dinner was wonderful. They took our order and just happened to be there to refill glasses/cups just in time. Never had to worry about a thing during dinner. Now breakfast in the MDR was at times hit or miss. Not bad food. But more so the service isn’t up to princess’s standards. The room was great! A in steward was awesome. Casino host was perhaps the best I have ever had. They were always out front and well seen at all times. They even bought a round of drinks to the tables on several occasions. Great personal and very knowledgeable about games. They decided to bring the Medallion online for this cruise. I love this concept. The cabin doors always open no fumbling for room key cards. Ordering drinks was simple as opening the app. Then boom in 3-5 min drinks were being delivered. Yes it needs some work. Yes it is a new concept for cruise ships. But YES absolutely a plus . Fantastic idea that will provide a valuable service one passengers become accustomed to this. Only reason for four instead of five. A few times we were given incorrect information. And when questioned about it I was brushed off. And the breakfast served in the MDR isn’t quite what we were accustomed to in the MDR for dinner. But overall couldn’t be more happy. Bravo princess you have done it once again. We are princess cruisers for life.

Now this is the way comments should be. Pointing out both good and not-so-good matters, and keeping a positive attitude about it all. Bravo, sterld2126! We're all just here for a relaxing good time. My wife and I are sailing on her in 24 days and looking forward to another great "Princess Adventure".

I couldn't agree with you all more. We cruised her twice this year and have scheduled two for next year. Looking forward to seeing how they have improved on the medallion service.

We love her as well. Cruises on her twice this year and more than ready to sail on her again in March. We have made some amazing friends sailing on her both other cruisers and staff. Way to go Princess. Thanks for all the great memories.
