5th time on Princess (9th overall). While it was better than our previous cruise in April on the Majestic, it’s still apparent they have no idea how to provide good entertainment. Overall the cruise was good but we may have to skip Princess for a while.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Ate in MDR each night. Food was good, service was much better than last Princes cruise. While not Alfredo’s, the pizza was pretty good. The Buffet was descent. They had a taco “food truck” type offering which was good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not an over amount of things to do but was not an issue due to the ability to enjoy the great weather.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

This is where Princess just cannot get it together. The entertainment in the theater is just sub par. Don’t get me wrong, the talent is there but there is just no creativity. A ventriloquist for 2 nights? Come on. No comedians; waited an hour for the DJ to show up one night at Skywalkers night club… never showed so we finally just went to bed. Entertainment around the pools was minimal. The theater shows were a collection of songs in which we never heard most of them. Boring and lack creativity. My 3 previous Princess cruises pre Covid were much better. Princess really needs to step it up. We had the same complaints when we were on the Majestic Princess in April.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Most were good to very good. A couple of the bars seemed overwhelmed at times. Ordering from the app is great when it works.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Despite her age, the ship is clean and well maintained. My favorite class of ship. Love the wrap around promenade deck.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Very clean, plenty of room for 2. Off and on vibration woke us up each night. Princess has great bedding.
