Review summary

Hated the ship...has to be the noisest in the world. The food was crappy, and the ports of call were really disappointing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Getting on the ship was really easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food was horrible. Service was almost as bad. Didn't have one single sit down dinner that was even eatable - as agreed on by the entire table.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Not enough pool space....they were ridiculously crowded.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Had a great comedian that was family friendly....all of the other shows were bad.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

The dining room was so filled with engine noise that you had to scream to be heard... worst experience that I have ever had on a cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was fine. Shower was ridiculously too small, but we got great service from the cabin steward.

Ship tip

Dont do it. Pick another ship....perhaps another cruise line.

What a negative person! Why didn’t you get off at the first port and fly home. I hope you didn’t ruin it for those around you. We took this cruise and loved it

Apparantly every one who works on the ship has reacted to my evaluation...but just to be clear: this was the 3rd cruise that we have been on the past 12 months....all 3 were week long trips to the same area, and this cruise was by far the worse of the 3....dont like it. Too bad. The facts are the facts. The dining room engi e noise was horrible; and the only ship (out of 18) that I have ever been on where I could hear the engine run. The food was much worse than Royal Caribbean or Carnival, and the service was not near to what it should be.

Princess ships noisy? Compared to Carnival, Norweigian, and Royal, they're practically morgue-like most of the time. That's usually one of the main complaints against them.

Crikey, sounds completely the opposite to when I was on board her
