Review summary

This was our first cruise experience and turned out to be one of the greatest vacations we have been on. The Golden Princess and the crew were great. Plan on paying for quality beverages and by all means the anytime dining is the way to go. Eat when and where you want to. Show up early for the shows, the seating fills up fast.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

4 Stars because of drinks. The food and service was great but you have to pay extra for bottled water or a soda, the included free coffee and iced tea is almost undrinkable. Plan on paying for something you can enjoy.

Excellent review. I agree in all aspects. We loved our time on the GP in March.

So good to start seeing some good reviews on the ship we are taking our first cruise on in a few weeks! Hoping the sewage smell is gone that I kept reading about earlier.
