The crew was absolutely phenomenal. They were disinfecting everything in sight after we had a stomach flu outbreak onboard. Room steward was exceptional.

Normally we love aft balconies, but this one has a support post in the middle of the view and also a lot of engine noise.

Thanks for the review. Before COVID-19 I remember having to fill out the form because of norovirus. I was annoyed then but actuality those were the days!

Princess staff worked hard to keep us safe when we took a trip when they had a series of outbreaks before our trip. Made a trip that could have dragged fun.
