We had a wonderful time! Enjoyed the Panama Canal.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
It was a little slow this time, probably due to all of the construction going on around the port.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Breakfast at the buffet was good. Lunch they had some strange food combinations at the buffet. But they always have the hamburger, hotdogs, & pizza places to eat. We ate in the dining room almost every night. It started out really slow, but picked up. Princess always aims to please!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We played pickleball. Did Zumba & went to the gym 3-4 times. They had pool games & lots of activities going on. No slides or anything like that, which is fine with us.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Love the game shows! One or two game shows a night, but did not interfere with the main show! New production shows! Princess’ Fantastic Journey was really good! They used 20-30 drones in the show! The drones made a short appearance, but it was really cool! All the other entertainers were good too! Loved that the buffet was open until 11:00 PM, because we would check it out after going to the shows.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
I’m going to give them a 4 1/2! The service got better as the cruise continued. Princess always has good service.

Cabin / Stateroom

Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the inside of room. 🤦‍♀️. We had an obstructed ocean view & it was definitely obstructed. We don’t spend that much time in there anyway. Princess does offer a good selection of movies & shows to watch on TV for free!
We walked from the port to a really nice area that had flamingos, parrots & other wild life. It wasn’t very far (maybe a block or two). It is connected to the port, so you won’t get lost. If you leave that area you are swarmed by taxi drivers trying to get your business. Almost all of the tours are city tours & we have been here before, so there was no need to leave the gated area.
We only stopped here to pick up the people that had taken an excursion. We were able to get off & shop at a tent with local souvenirs. Took about 10 minutes.
Excellent review, detailed, thank you. We're sailing with Princess on this ship in Nov and cannot wait. I have already downloaded the Medallion and Ocean Compass aps. I am so looking forward to this trip and finally sailing with Princess.
