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".
