Review summary

Disappointed with Princess Cruises. They have some great staff, and also some rude staff. Anytime diners are treated like second rate citizens so we opted out of the tip process. We then took that money and divided it between 4 individuals who really deserved it

Theatre shows were okay but not outstanding. Noticed some people fell asleep during the shows.

Children's Programs

No children in our group

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room steward was amazing. Bar staff were exceptional, unfortunately the dining staff were rude and only out to pick up tips. We opted out of the tips on ship and gave our tips to the ones that deserved it.

Ship Quality

Great flow, easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

L104, at front of ship, very spacious and great view.

Ship tip

Some of the excursions were not worth the money. Do your homework before you go. Opt out of tips at customer service and give the tips to the ones who really work.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Too windy and couldn't dock.

Only selling jewelry, found this a place where you need an excursion unless you are there for buying jewelry.

St. John's, Antigua

2 out of 5
Did an excursion to dockyard, not long enough at the yard.

Castries, St. Lucia

Mud bath excursion was a rip off. 30 mins to check it out and the mud was in plastic buckets.

Bridgetown, Barbados

Friendly people, lots to see.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

But sadly those 4 will now have to turn the money over to the tip pool since you removed the auto tip

Good for you. Tips should be for those who give good, courteous service.
