Review summary

I don't think we'll ever use Princess again. Very disappointed. Maybe our fault for not being more selective. Our past experience with Princess was very good, (15 Cruises) so we felt there was no need to worry... Again, we were proved wrong!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Ok, but no special treatment for Long Time Princess Cruisers

It appears staff were new and needed more training, experienced crew were very good. Stateroom staff, extremely good

Ship Quality

Ship was old and was showing her age.. needs a complete reno.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Extremely noisy, small, had foldout bunks above and we continually hit our heads! Why would they assign this cabin to an older couple? Also, cabin was too close to ramp exits and pilot entrance. Most times this all occurred during sleeping hours. During rough seas the hull noise was awful. Cleanliness was very good.

Ship tip

Don't accept a cabin on or below the lifeboats

New York, New York

We have visited Time Square 2 X during Covid and really enjoyed it. This time it was scary walking, even during the day... Too many homeless and many shops closed I believe for this reason. I do NOT recommend staying in Times Square.

Disembarkation

Glad to get off.
