Review summary

There were definitely a few hiccups but things got better each day. It was amazing being back on a ship and getting some much needed vitamin sea.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Except for the first night, main dining rooms were great. Service there was good . I was not thrilled with the buffet. Almost raw bacon is not good. Service in the buffet was lacking. Waiting for silverware and drinks while several crew were standing together chatting did not make me happy. Bar service at the bars was good. Bar service in the Casino was terrible. Had to find a crew member to ask for a server. 20 minutes later had to find someone else that went and got someone else asking what I needed, she finally go it me a server 15 minutes later. Then another 10-15 to get my drink .From then on I ordered 2 each time I found a server . Not the Princess service I'm used to. I hope they get the kinks out by May when I'll be back aboard.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Cruise Director, Matt and his Assistant Cruise Director, Allwyn, we're a hoot. Don't miss their Wake Show every morning on the TV. The game shows in the Explorer Lounge were so much fun. Aft pool is amazing and has great service.Movies Under the Stars is always very nice.

Everything was great. You could see a few wrinkles but she is not a young lady. My room steward, Nicolau was great.

Ship tip

Have patience. After not sailing for 608 days, they are working on getting the kinks out.

Did Best of St Kitts. Went to Romney Manor and Caribelle Batik factory and greatly enjoyed that .Also went to Brimstone Fortress. The Fortress is not to be missed. It was like taking a walk through history.

I only ever eat breakfast and rarely lunch in the buffet. I love the MDR.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Interesting but concerning news on buffet as that’s our usual haunt. We will be on her next month and can’t wait!
