Review summary

Special kudos to the Excursion staff who work so hard to make everything perfect. Our time in Stanley was changed and shortened due to weather. Despite the last minute change just the evening before our arrival, the Excursion staff managed to accommodate almost every planned tour. AMAZING!

I must mention Oli Nez, a saxophonist. He was one of the most enjoyable performers we have ever seen on our 36 cruises and was very well received by the audience.

Ship Quality

For the most part, the ship was as expected for Princess. But there were some notable exceptions. The most glaring was our sofa in our mini-suite. The cushions were sticking out. You could not sit on it and it definitely needs replacement. Also, lots of places throughout the ship that need painting. It just seemed that Princess is not keeping up maintenance like they should.

Cabin / Stateroom

We had a mini-suite and the best part was the bathtub for a two week cruise.
