Review summary

While we had no issues with our stateroom, we did talk to a few other passengers who claimed to be without full water service in their bath, or were without air conditioning. 

Excellent variety of meals in the main dining rooms and on the Lido. However service seemed a bit slower than we have experienced on other ships.

Overall, the ship was very nice, having just come from a two week dry dock overhaul. Stewards were excellent and friendly. Entertainment was very good.

The sound system for the outdoor theater could be improved, as well as prohibiting swimming in the pool when movies are being shown.

I would have preferred the Casino to be non-smoking at all times, not just one night of the cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Pull down bunk is not the best for a large adult. Pillows could be better. Lots of space to hang clothes and store suitcases.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5
If you want to tour the island, take either the bus or the trolley tour, but not both. Lots of duplication of stops.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Bus tour is a great way to get a good sampling of island life and history. Plenty of beach activities to choose from.
