Review summary

For 1st time cruisers, make sure you READ up on your ports of call, book your excursions early and make sure your seating times for dinner are later - 7 - 7:30 or later. Also plan your day before on sea days and pick only activities you can see and do. Can't do it all and it gets overwhelming,.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy and quick if you arrive early.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Very good food, lots of choices. Easy buffet dining or seated dining, or pay for an upgraded 5 course dining meal. Your choice.

Skywalkers Nightclub

4 out of 5

Fun and good selection of music. Good dance floor. Fun atmosphere.

Sabatini's Italian Trattoria

5 out of 5

Great food. Come hungry and well worth the price. Grab a bottle of wine and bring it with you. Wine can be pricey at the restaurant.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Ship had a gym, swimming pools, table tennis, basketball and area for kids to swim, but no other activities.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Princess theatre performances where excellent. We had a comedian, ventriloquist, and some live stage performances. Good variety, and were very good considering stage size and venue.

Movies Under The Stars

5 out of 5

Fun and relaxing. Great movie pics. Current selections.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Some staff where very helpful while some others where just not helpful at all. Some seemed they were placed out of sorts and didn't want to help you at all.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Little outdated cabins and amenities, but otherwise some parts of the ship where very nice and very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Nice large closet, had a safe. Bathroom shower and overall bathroom size was small. King bed was nice. Room size in general was ok, could have been a little larger.
