Review summary

Loved being back cruising.We usually do longer cruises than 7 days.How ever on this ship it was long enough disappointed in the food .

5 out of 5

Quite good about 30 minutes and we were on board

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Specialty restaurant Bayou steak and seafood very disappointing $40 a head plus $12 for an extra course.Don,t mind the extra charge but we could have had the same food that night in the MDR.Sabatini would have been a much better choice.

Provence Dining Room

4 out of 5

Quite good food ok.with the exception of breakfast not sure if the food would have been better with more experienced chefs a bit poor no toast chippilata sausages like rocks scrambled eggs like packet mix ? Not quite princess of the past.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was kept nice and clean.I Don,t think we had a new princess bed only a mattress topper,didn’t feel as cloud soft and comfortable as other princess ships we have been on.The shower was tiny.

Ship tip

Go with an open mind there all still learning after so long not cruising.
