Review summary

The cruise and the staff were fabulous, the food was pretty good considering we were on a ship. I would probably not recommend this particular cruise for a younger crowd around 20-30 years of age as it mainly consisted of a much older crowd.

I like Princess food which is one minor reason I keep going back. You are correct in age demographics. 20-30 year olds are NOT close to a majority on most Princess cruises. That is why Carnival exists (just kidding Carnival fans. My 84 year old Mother is a life-long Carnival cruiser.)
