Review summary

Same as the cruise before. We had a great time. Albeit there's still room for improvement. But overall a good cruise.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Still had the rude elderly staff in the terminal. This time we expected it so it was kinda comical.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was better this trip and the waiter was a lot better than the one we had on our first cruise.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the bands and performers.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff were amazing. Waiters, stewards, bartender's and Cam the cruise director.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Still needs updating. But it was kept clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Ocean view room was small and uncomfortable. But you get what you pay for.

Ship tip

Get the drink package and faster to the fun package. Both are worth the money. Check out the shows on the cruise. They are pretty cool. Don't believe the hype about "tax and duty free" in the ships Shops. You can buy what they're selling on Ebay and Amazon for way less than what they sell there products.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5

Had a good time snorkeling and the buffet wasn't bad. They do need to fix the ventilation in the buffet area because the smoke is overwhelming in the heat.
