Review summary

Had issues with the new Medallions. They are an improvement over cruise cards. However, kept getting charged for drinks when we purchased the drink package. Had to keep running up to Guest Services to get fixed. Also would not read mine for cabin entry. Just not the impressed with Princess. It was our first Princess cruise and we really had no expectations. I would call it average or below. I would prefer sailing with its' parent company Carnival, NCL, Celebrity or RCL in the future and expect to do so unless a cruise we are interested in is extremely cheap.

Food was good. Ran out of the wine I wanted twice and then advertised it on the dinner menu when they did not have it. Buffet was average as was the pizza and Sea Dog café.
