We started cruising again as soon as the Covid restrictions were lifted and it was fantastic because of the low volume of guests. This voyage was almost back to full capacity and it looked like Princess had benefited from the restart by learning to provide better service to their guests. We will definitely book with Princess again.

Fast and efficient.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We had a fantastic waiter in the MDR and requested him for the entire voyage. The MDR food was excellent. Tried The Catch by Rudy and have to say this is the best specialty offering I’ve experienced to date. However, Sabatini’s was moved to a high traffic pedestrian area and the food was mediocre.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We loved the Sanctuary!
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Great show’s but the one standout was the Billy Joel show by Kyle Martin. He brought down the house and we left feeling like we just attended a concert we paid real money to see.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All of the crew were on top of their game.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Perfect for us this standard balcony was located mid-aft and we really enjoyed it.
Ship tip
Book the Sanctuary as soon as you board the ship to secure your spot.
We flew in pre-cruise and spent 2 days touring the city. It would have been better if we had more time. Saw the main attractions but would have taken in some museums if we had more time.
Thanks for the review. Yes I think Princess staff fared better through COVID than some other lines. Their waiters are typically veterans who have been with Princess for many years, even decades. Since COVID it seems other lines had a lot of new wait staff.
