Review summary

Was nice cruise but ship showing age. Some item like lights along walk ways lots not working. Lots of were on it signs just not fixed. We paid for the spa for the week. The hot beds and steam rooms. Don't waste your money. They have sanas and steam room for free right off the gym. Adult pool way way too small. Like 10 chairs and zero shade. The buffet way too small for this size ship and food wasn't great. The staff and service was great. Loved the pendants and the application. Was on this ship about 8 years ago. Will do Princess again some day but a newer ship. Have another line I prefer to use since taking vacation time and it's important to choose what you like
