Review summary
Non-balcony rooms (with window) are comfortable, adequate for a couple.
The entertainment is very good, there is always something there to prevent boredom whilst at sea.
Food is likewise very good. In the Bordeaux and Province restaurants the quality is highly recommended, in the buffet there is a constant supply with good choice.
Little things that weren't positive:
The constant source of things the cruiseline want to sell. Merchandise, tours, photos etc.etc. I guess they make their profit here.
The tours are expensive, better to find a similar tour ashore for ha;f the price.
The last day, the experience is "how quick can you get off we have new guests to cater for now". The vacation experience should last until you leave the ship.
But overall I would sail with Princess again

Ship tip
Take a electrical extender, there are only 2 sockets and with all the items we have to charge (camera's cellphones, tablets etc) it's unsufficient.
