Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Overall the food is fine. Normal cruise ship fare. Also did ultimate balcony dining. Excellent service. Food was ok, just not hot enough.

Sabatini's Italian Trattoria

5 out of 5

Excellent meal very good veal. Great service. That bread…so good.

Slice Pizzeria

5 out of 5

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.

I read the mini suites on Princess are smaller than other ships. Depends on how much you like the balcony stateroom size to get that extra few feet. Thanks for your review
