Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We ate in main dining room one time. The food there was very good..we ate pizza at slices. We enjoyed it and thought that pizza was better than Royal or Carnival. We liked the International Cafe but the food was not fresh and some tasted like it had been sitting there. We did not care for Salty Dog Gastro pub. I wish we would have skipped it. The buffet had a variety of food but found a lot of it be bland.

Entertainment

One of the shows was cancelled so only watched Rock Opera which was good.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

I gave this a 3 star. Most of the staff were great. We had issues with our room steward. On night one, at 9:00 pm our room steward knocked once and walked into our room. We did not call him and was not expecting him. We did not have a chance to say or do anything before he walked in. He was bringing in a new schedule for the following day. Both my husband and I were shocked he just walked in. I complained but nothing happened. I asked the staff if this is normal behavior, and they said no. This was my 7th cruise ( 1st with princess ) and never have I had a negative expiernce with a room steward before.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The ship was gorgeous. I felt that some areas were not kept up very well. We stayed in a mini suite, and the shower curtain had mold on it.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our cabin was very spacious. We had a lot of storage.

Ship tip

Bring your patience when using the elevators. They take a very long time. You can coffee in other places besides the international Cafe. There is also a self serve soda machine aft deck 16.
