By far best pizza at sea!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Standard cruise stuff. Trivia and games. Meant for much older clientele.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Good singers throughout boat. Needed DJ a little more to energize the boat.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Elvin, room steward, was amazing. Might have been best overall crew of the 15 cruises we have taken. Well done princess

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Very small Mini Suite. Don’t pay extra just get a normal balcony. Frankly disappointed. Mini Suites on NCL and RCCL just better. Princess hopefully corrects with Sun Princess. Room was clean and nicely appointed but small for a mini suite.

Ship tip

Great boat, the top deck areas are nice. Heated freshwater pools, best at sea.
