Review summary

We share the ship with less than 250 passengers. It was like having our own private cruise ship. The Princess Cruise team is amazing. We were thrilled with the cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy. We were amazed to have a personal escort to the cabin. So cool!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We dined in the Da Vinci Dining Room, Crown, Sabatini's Italian Trattoria and Horizon. I loved the changes in the Horizon Court. Small individual choices are great. The Crown and Sabatini's were great. Irinka was our fav waitress in the Crown (breakfast) and Sabatini. The entire staff in S&C were the epitome of customer service. (Gabriel, Yalcin, Mirko, Iryna, Amish, Jenefer, Juni, Savio, Valentin, ANNA, Slobodais, Milos, Sally and Mark.)

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools, Fitness Center, Hot tub, Steam bath and sauna. The sauna did not seem to work. Everything else was great.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We attended Motown, the Mentalist, Cooking Show. Everyone was great. The Mentalist definitely caused us to think. The Cooking Show was fun. The Motown group was energetic and fun. We also attended Sail Away and the class on making martinis. Loved the martini!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
John, our room steward, ensured that we had a comfortable cruise. He was friendly and efficient. All of the wait staff and other ship personnel were always attentive. The Chief Engineer stopped by to explain a problem. He was amazing.

Ship Quality

Everything was clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

Great cabin! It was fun having the separate rooms. The bedroom could have been a bit bigger. Our cabin seemed to be always clean.
