Review summary

Except for service and wait staff - overall this was a below standard sailing especially food and entertainment aaaaaaaaasaassaaaasssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - why 150 characters - stupid

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Because if the volume of people due to the delay cause by the Typhoon the check-in was a little chaotic

Ship experiences

3 out of 5
Main entrees in the assigned dining rooms were lacking in meat and seafood choices. Steak only one evening and lobster only one evening and the Japanese set menus were the same for breakfast and dinner with only the fish type different

Onboard Activities

Ports of call

Kushiro, Japan Did not visit port

Typhoon deleted it from itinerary

Korsakov, Russia

5 out of 5
Waste of time - would have rather seen Kushiro and eliminated visiting this port goid

Otaru (Sapporo), Japan

4 out of 5
Good - Princess lacked direction of their concern for travelers experience - their key was to sell over cost shore excursions

Hakodate, Japan

5 out of 5
Good - Princess lacked direction of their concern for travelers experience - their key was to sell over cost shore excursions

Why did you pick this cruise? Reading your port reviews, I have no clue.
