Review summary
Princess advertises "Any Time Dining". On our recent cruise, this meant if you didn't get in line at least 1/2 hour to 45 minutes before the dining room door opened, you were left standing in line for 2 hours. Although they had 3 dining rooms, only one was offered for the 5:30 dining room option of "Any Time Dining". With over 2,000 guests on board, what a frustrating experience. Even after getting seated, we were quite disappointed in the quality of meals. We have had a much better dining experience on Holland America and Norwegian.
Please know this does not reflect our opinion or experience with Cruise 411. With Cruise 411, we have always had great service!

Don't drink cafeteria or dining room coffee. Couldn't wait to get home to brew me a cup of good stuff.
