Review summary

Big Smile - 1) Cruise Staff (Armando, Greg, Emma, Neesha, and DJ Delitte).  Very friendly, always smiling, very approachable and personable.  They made all the activities fun to participate, creating great atmosphere, and made your feel comfortable.  Especially Armando, a great guy and always has time to chat with you.   Princess is lucky to have this group of staff....

 

2) Cabin Steward- Memino is one of the most hardworking and accommodating steward that I have ever met.   The cabin was always in excellent condition.  He also helped me secure "materials" for a game activity.  Big Thumb's up for him..I would give him a big bonus...:)

 

Improvements: - 1) Suggested to include variety of activities as the 15 days cruise had a lot of sea days.   :)

 

2) Food quality - seemed to have declined, especially with the steak/Beef dishes in the main dining room.  The cut was typically tough and difficult to get a medium rare.   Variety of choices in the Horizon Buffet needed to be more expansive. 

 

Yes, I would recommend this cruise to my friends.
