NEVER will I sail with Princess ever again, and this ship is disgusting and the service the worst I have ever been subjected to on or off land. If I did my job the way these princess employees did theirs I would be fired. Do yourself a favor and stay away! Hideous waste of money and time.

Enjoy!! Princess is a class act from start to finish - the service is unmatched and you will have a great time.

Watch your onboard account as several we talked with had mistakes made. For example, my in-laws signed up for the E-Z luggage handling at the end of the cruise. For an additional $25 per bag, Princess will take your luggage from your stateroom door, get it to the airport, check it (without weight penalties), so you only deal with it again at your destination airport. We loved the program, but in-laws were charged for two bags ($50) instead of their only one! When calling Princess, they were told it would be six to eight weeks before the home office would get that cruise’s paperwork so try to stay on top of your account!

Princess is good. This was our second Princess cruise. Everything great except our mini-suite. Is a shame we pay so much for the Suite and get so little for our value.

Check your account each day. Although we had the beverage package we were often charged for our drinks. Also find out what benefits your status offers. Never saw these in print.

Avoid cabin R716 or the ones adjacent, unless you enjoy hearing foot traffic and chairs being moved around in the buffet above during the early morning and later evening. The noise above you will control when you go to sleep and when you wake up - no need for alarm clocks.

Watch your bill, daily. Princess seems to tack on all sorts of charges and just hopes you don't notice. Once again, this is the number one turn off for me. I'm on vacation, and I don't like feeling like the company is fleecing me at every turn.

Our ship did have some engine trouble. We were without power for several hours. I believe there was a problem prior to leaving. It should have been repaired before it went to sea. The captain did keep us well informed of what was going on.

Be sure to complete details on shore excursions. Some of them had really long travel times to and from.
