Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Smaller than I expected but still plenty of room and storage ! Beds and pillows were extremely soft and comfortable! Shower with tub was a plus but wish they had the sliding doors instead of curtain. TVs were nice but not much for programming. Balcony was spacious and always my favorite! All in all it was a very nice suite !

Ship tip

Enjoy a balcony stateroom ! The pools were wonderful ! Have a set dining time and enjoy all the shows ! The salty dog was great for Burgers and dogs...coffee shop on deck 5 was the Bomb !

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Beautiful beach day ! Probably wouldn't have rented a clamshell if I'd known their were plenty of spots under pavillion! Didnt care for the Buffet served there due to the flies all over the food and where we sat but I guess you'll have that outdoors ! We had a great day there snorkeling and chillin in the sun ! A couple gift shops which took your shipcard and also several vendors selling their goods ! Loved it !

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We carried our luggage off due to a earl flight and were slightly delayed but everything went very smoothe..no complaints !!
