There were a few ports not worth visiting because of limited points of interests. Restaurant service staff need a lot of training or retraining. some updates needed for the ship

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Very crowded waiting area.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Specialty restaurants were nothing to write home about. Kai Sushi was worse than most of the US Japanese restaurants. Buffet selection was limited

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

This by far was way below other cruises I have undergone. Apparently lack of training and professionism.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

lack of maitainence. Toilet water was shut off for a few hours.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The room was ok. Balcony was filled with water after window cleaning and not drained until I told my stateroom steward.

Ship tip

Don't sell on this ship, according to an elite member, "this was way below Princess standards".
