Review summary

We really enjoyed our time on the ship, there were only 1100 guests on the ship so nothing was crowded, no lines and very good service. Cruise director Pauly is full of energy.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy, tons of staff.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Guys burgers good as usual. Main dining room was good, excellent service, some items such as lobster that used to be included on elegant night are now a $20 upgrade. Seaday brunch was especially good.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Playlist shows were okay, wasn’t the best cast I have seen. Divas show was better than Epic Rock.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
As usual camp carnival is awesome, our daughter loves it, always asks when she can go back.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiter, room steward both excellent

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
There were people cleaning all the time. For an older ship elation is still in great shape.

Ports of call

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Private island was beautiful, but the water was chilly in January. It was nice that they served lunch and we enjoyed a beach day without spending any additional money.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Didn’t do an excursion, glad we didn’t it was VERY windy the day we were in port, stayed on and enjoyed the ship. Still enjoyed looked at the beautiful waters of Nassau.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Slight issue that caused an extra trip to guest services that was annoying, but was still off around 9.
