Review summary
This was a very relaxing and calm cruise. On most cruises, we’re usually hustling and bustling all around to enjoy all the activities and onboard amenities and running around all over. This cruise, we relaxed and spent a lot of time in our cabin on our balcony and watching movies on our TV. I personally felt there wasn’t too much onboard activities to do that caught my attention, so as a result I relaxed A LOT! Princess is catered to an older crowd, so if you’re used to Royal, Norwegian, or Carnival don’t expect a party on here- you’ll be relaxing a lot, which isn’t a bad thing! There was a lot of people coughing and not covering there mouths which was kinda gross- but that’s on every cruise I’ve noticed lol, so take your vitamin C! I would definitely cruise with Princess again if I got a good deal and want to have a relaxing cruise. No bad feelings towards Princess, I loved them but the crew on this cruise I didn’t feel was as friendly (especially guest service don’t get me started on them) and the lacking variety of activities was a little disappointing too. Nonetheless, great cruise and a week off from work and being out at sea was amazing!Embarkation

Ship tip
Make sure to make reservations for dinning ahead of time on the Princess app. Or else you’ll be stuck in a line waiting for a table. You’re able to bring 1 bottle of wine per person so take advantage of that if you don’t have a drink package but still want to have a nice little buzz! Buffet can get chaotic at peak times so be patient with that too.
