Review summary

This was my very first cruise and I was unfortunately underwhelmed. I guess my expectations were too high. I was expecting my robe or towels to be placed in the shape of an animal (swan, beat)on my bed, at least once. I expected the food to be much better. I expected to not have to pay for soft drinks and for there to be better entertainment. For the price of the cruise, ($1,080.00 per person); it definitely could have been much, much better.

How sad to read this😟 I have sailed Princess before(to Mexico) and enjoyed it very much! In fact my husband and I had same cruise (this time) booked w carnival and we paid more and took one day less just so we could cruise Princess- I hope I don’t get let down😟
