It was very good but sad to miss Maui due to wind.

Review summary

This is the first time we have cruised with Princess. It was a very good experience. We felt the food had a good quality. So nice to offer free Ukuele lessons and then to put on a show with the Hula dancers. I want to buy a Uk. The Voice of the Ocean was a good experience and those involved were so kind to us. There are not too many cruise companies that allow faith services and Bible studies. Princess sure increased our respect for allowing and posting various services as part of your Patter. Thank you very much.

Onboard Activities

My husband used the gym and wished it was open at 6 am. We enjoyed the Bible Study and church services. Basketball games were good. I took Ukuele lessons and Tiki Dave is a great teacher. I was involved in the Voice of the Ocean. Madonna is a good activities director. Our mentors Kate and Danz were so helpful. It was fun for the final 8 participants.

Service and Staff

We ate at the buffet most of the time. Manoj, Felipe, Saruing, Anna and the cooks were the best. The International cafe, Cones and popcorn was wonderful, and Pizza by the slice.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Yes they were. This was probably the biggest ship we have been on and it took awhile to figure out where to go.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We were very comfortable in our room and had 2 good stewards named Santa and Varte. Wonderful that there were personal laundry areas on the ship.

Ship tip

If you are going on the same cruise as we did, bring more pants and warm clothes when at Sea.

It was smooth and quick. The Uber pick up area could be marked better.
