Review summary

This was our 1st Princess cruise. Although the majority of the clientele is a bit older, we had a good time. We would definitely cruise with Princess again. The service was wonderful and the shows fantastic. We didn't read our patter every day so we missed out on some activities. Highly recommend!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Mini suite. Just the right size for us. Always clean. Very comfortable. Bed was very good. Balcony was very small. Although near the theatre, it was very quiet. Never heard anyone or anything.

Ship tip

Reserve excursions before you sail. Read your patter each morning. You don't want to miss anything! Enjoy your time away!

Be prepared to pay for everything except lunch. Lunch time was not very long so go to lunch early. Otherwise enjoy this nice, small area.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Do an excursion then walk around port and take the Sky Ride! Have a Bushwhacker at the top and maybe a snack. Nice views!

Excellent! Use the EZ Check and check your bags all the way through! No dragging your bags. The small cost is so worth it!
