Review summary

I enjoyed traveling with Princess Cruise line. Although in the Horizon was limited. The Madre agreed one night. Since I paid the same as everyone else for the food, could have been better. The other people at my table felt guilty waiting there desserts in front of me and my jello/pudding. Was mostly impressed with the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Felt short changed because everyone else at my table had elegant desserts and I received the "chiefs choose" which was jello and pudding because I have celiac disease . Although the first night was flourless chocolate cake. Would have love that quality every night. I believe I paid the same as the rest at my table. Should have been my choose not the chief's.

Very strange as there is so much variety.. or was your diet very limited you should of maybe contacted the cruise lines before you went and explained to them your requirements....
