Review summary

I planned this trip for about a year. The cruise was chosen for its itinerary. I read so many bad reviews and hoped our experience would be better. We will never do another Princess Cruise. The food was so bad that words can’t describe many of the things we attempted to eat.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Food on this ship is bad. The buffet area was very small with not many edible options. The specialty restaurants were not worth the extra money. The cheeseburgers and pizza on deck 15 were edible.
