Overall a great cruise. Due to having kids, I think I prefer RCI, but I would say Princess is now my second favorite line. I guess when I'm old and my kids have moved out, I know which cruise line I would pick. 😉

Ship experiences

Typical cruise ship fare. Nothing spectacular, but all good.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Wish there was more for the kids, but I guess Princess is geared more to the older crowd.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All staff was awesome. Our stateroom steward Ricardo was the bomb.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Brand new ship. Very beautiful and clean. I wasn't impressed with the layout. Several dead ends made navigation tricky at times. Very small promenade deck made it impossible to walk around the entire ship. No deck access forward which was disappointing. Most of not all balconies on deck 8 obstructed by tenders due to limited promenade. Overall a nice, clean very beautiful but poorly designed ship.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin was nice. Plenty of space (for a cruise stateroom that is. 😉)
Ship tip
Don't plan on strolling around the promenade, and if you eat in Amalfi, remember you have to access it by going down the aft elevator/stairs from deck 7. If you try to access it on deck 6 you will be blocked by a dead end at the gallery. If you have kids, they may be bored on sea days (no waterslides etc). Other than that, be prepared for an awesome cruise!
Beautiful island. Very green and tropical. If you get motion sickness take meds before taking a taxi anywhere because it's a very mountainous island. Check out Trafalgar Falls and Titou Gorge. You won't be disappointed. Amazing country.
