Review summary

Overall a great cruise and full staff. We loved the service and the beauty of the ship. Could have improved duty free shop as the prices were not a value and needs much improvement when compared to on land prices at all ports. The other shops for sweaters teas mugs were very limited and could have done without the “real” love boat stuff. We would like to see the princess logo and original Love Boat logo on purchases. Cruise director and staff were very visible and outstanding. Highly recommended.

I’m sure you are aware the bar steward interaction with passengers and martini shaking is due to the Covid protocols that were put in place. We were on the Enchanted in January 2022 and they didn’t have picks for the olives,nor did they give you the jumbo stuffed olives! Heck you couldn’t even get a toothpick period. I gave a cheese vendor, in a port, a dollar for about 15 to 20 toothpicks.
