Review summary

It was a shame we had to miss two ports due to high wind and high swells, but we understand we all need to be safe. Otherwise, the ports we did visit did not disappoint.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very quick and easy. It helped that I am from the USA so the medallions were able to be shipped directly to us.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We only ate in the Island Dining Room for dinner and the Palm Dining Room for breakfast. had several snacks from International Cafe. The food was all excellent. Not a bad menu or meal in any of them. We got our drinks mainly from Good Spirits and they were also very good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Didn’t participate in the programs in the piazza but we did watch. They were lots of fun to watch. I.e. corn hole and quiz time - crew against passengers.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows we saw were very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All excellent. The waiters got to know us and anticipated our needs.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Definitely looking old in some areas. The seats in Good Spirits had very dirty arms on them. Small things such as elevator doors all scratched up add to the overall tired appearance.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our steward did an excellent job in keeping our room clean, and our bed made perfectly. That’s one of the things I look forward to on a cruise - getting into a bed with no creases in the sheets!

Ship tip

On all Princess ships - I learned this from the Princess Patter - the main elevators face the front of the ship. Odd numbers to the right as you get out, even numbers to the left.
