Review summary

The Enchanted Princess had no wow factor. Was a nice ship, but nothing where you just wanted to hang out and enjoy, unlike many other ships. Some entertainers, especially the piano bar singer, were horrible. Guy would play a song, tell a story that never made sense and then giggles, just odd. Rock Opera was incredible. Again, the Medallion badge is a scam. When I tried to get this made into 20% tips, the site converniently never worked and they won't help you over the phone. They just tell you to go to the website. You fill everything out and then it won't submit. Tried multiple times over many days. Will never do another Princess cruise.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Just not enough to do and what there was only lasted 30-45 minutes. Games were great, Rock Opera was fantastic. Most were too short and there just wasn't enough.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

SOme music especially the piano bar singer we couldn't attend more than once. Singing and music was fine, but he would just tell stories that never made sence and then randomly giggle.

Service and Staff

Stewardwas very good and friendly. Balcone was much more than "obstructed".

Ship tip

The Medallion is a scam. They don't allow you to tip a bartender or server. No matter the bill adds $16 to every bill. An $8 drink gets a $16 tip. Added up over a week, the tips were more than the rest of the bill, eventhough "gratuities included".
