Review summary

Loved the new ship and crew. Loved Club Class. Princess needs to work on their app, never could arrange dinner reservations for a specialty restaurant.

Food and Dining

MDR Club Class was great. Afid was our head waiter and his assistant Joanne took great care of us the entire cruise. Just wish the MDR was open for lunch on port days.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
This is a very laid back cruise, not a party ship. Bingo is offered, movies on deck, trivia, art auctions, line dancing and more than I can list. Definitely an older crowd and I am 63.

Great Club Class cabin. Balcony is large, slightly angled and fully covered. Would book again.

Ship tip

Go with the flow and have fun.

Oranjestad, Aruba

What the heck is this cruise port thinking! You have to walk close to half a mile to get out of the port. A new condominium has been built right at the dock where you used to walked right into town. Bring your walking shoes.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5
Stayed at the Hyatt House. Nice hotel with free parking package. Transportation was $14 per person each way through Waves Transportation. Great service and on time.

Willemstad, Curacao

Would give the tour 5 stars but our first stop was at a shopping mall to visit a candle store. Really? Second stop was at an aloe plantation. Very interesting. Buy the products at the plantation. We saw the same products in town for $2-$3 more per item. Last stop was at the Curacao factory. Yeah, we bought stuff. Not sure if it was cheaper than the States, but we were at the factory.

Roseau, Dominica

5 out of 5
Great whale and dolphin adventure on a zodiac. Saw 3 female sperm whales and a huge pod of dolphins, over 40 right next to and under the boat.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
We rented a bungalow, #3. Loved it. Would not pay the extra $50 again for lunch. Was not very good. Service staff was very friendly and attentive. Short walk to the small beach area.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We took a tour to the top of the area where they stopped at a shop and over look. Nice, but a real tourist stop. Next stop we were dropped off at the sky lift. Nice view going up and down. Restaurant and bar at the top and a small souvenir shop. Nice tour to do once.

Disembarkation

I think everyone has had issues with the app. When I did the specialty dining I had already set a time in the MDR and when we decided on the days we wanted to go specialty, I just went to that day on the app and clicked specialty dining and got the time and when I went to confirm, I got message saying I was double booking and the original reservation(in the MDR)would be cancelled. I did have issues doing but I just kept trying at different times and it finally went through. One last thing is this was all pre-cruise and not on the ship!

We had issues with the App also when we were on the Majestic.. I think it's a cool deal to use, and it sure speeds up the process getting on and off the ship. it's just using it on the ship seems to be a major issue FYI the new president of Princess Designed the app.
