We are in our late 60's and a large majority of the passengers were considerably older, which is fine, but getting on and off busses and through lines took much longer. We took the stairs often as elevator waits were long.
The leaves and scenery were amazing. Many ports are small and don't offer a lot of activities/restaurants/shopping other than through ship excursions.
Princess Cruise Line is not a good fit for us.
Embarkation
1 out of 5
The ship had major delays with disembarkation causing a 3 hour wait, outside, in the rain before we could embark.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food in the main dining room, except for desserts, was delicious! The buffet was limited and repetitive in selections.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Trivia and bingo seemed to be the most popular onboard activities. We did not participate in either.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We attended the evening entertainment each night and it was really good!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Service was always great. All staff worked so hard and put in long hours to ensure our needs were met.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
The ship was clean and well-maintained; however, the style was very outdated. The ship felt crowded and there was always a wait for tables in the buffet area, seats for shows, and elevators.
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
The size was as expected. Our room was always clean!! The location of the cabin was horrible. We were across from CREW ONLY doors that staff used 24/7 to provide room service. Doors and carts were banging throughout the night. We mentioned it to customer services and things were better for several nights. The crew doors should be noted on the ship map.
