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

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

Ship Quality

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

Cabin / Stateroom

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

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