Review summary

Our cruise was boring..the casino was empty, the waitstaff indifferent and the food average.  The excursions were the worst!  Paid lots of money to go on the most boring excursions...all were obviously set up to sell you stuff and we were constantly reminded to tip...never again

Sounds to me like you should go on Carnival next time. Always one bad review. We are going anyway and will have a nice cruise. Sorry you had a bad time.

April will be our 5th cruise with Princess. Every cruise we've done has been amazing. The crew treats everyone with dignity and respect. There's always something to do on the ship for all ages.

I'm glad positive reviews out weigh the negative. So looking forward to this cruise in April

We are going 4/7/17 also. First cruise ever on Princess. We cruise mostly RCL and Celebrity. Always have heard Princess is the very best. I look forward to the different islands. Not going for the ship.

Where did you cruise to. We're on Panama 17/4 have read great comments about the ship. Not many re excursions my understanding is they're not the best.
