Review summary

Was very nice. Staff was great and accommodating Overall I really enjoyed it, but it was frustrating having antiquated entertainment systems - movies and internet. Should update to the new Medallion system that is on other Princess Ships

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Ship came from Europe so crew had to go through customs and also an annual Coast Guard Inspection. Not enough staff. 3000+ People in a holding area for hours waiting
