Review summary

This was the best cruise and so much fun. I was not ready to come back home to the cold. I loved it and wanted to take my room steward and dining staff home with me.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was good, but could have been less stressful with better direction and signs.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The buffet was amazing and so was Guy's burger joint. I was not impressed with the food at the main dining room each night. The food was not tasty and often cold.

Onboard Activities

We enjoyed the giant chess game, shuffle board, ping pong and miniature golf. It was so much fun.

Entertainment

The entertainment was so much fun. Plus we enjoyed the comedians at Punch liner. Very impressed.

Children's Programs

We were all adults with no children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I felt truly pampered and like we were the only ones on the cruise. Loved them and their attention to detail.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Although the ship is old it was very clean. The only negative was that on the 4th deck there was a smell of rotten eggs when you got off the elevator.

Cabin / Stateroom

The room was well stocked with towels and very clean. I loved it.

It was a beautiful city.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Loved being on the island. It was beautiful and relaxing. I loved the beach access and availability of lounge chairs. This island is so beautiful.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
I loved walking around the island and seeing the shops. Not too pleased with the pressure and harassment from the locals to buy their stuff or get my hair braided.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
VERY smooth and quick. Best of the cruise lines. Very quick and easy.
