Review summary

Terrible - poor entertainment, poor internet, poor casino, lack of activities, very unprofessional cruise activities directors. Based upon this cruise I would not take a Princess Cruise again even if it was free. The outbreak of Nuero Virus on the ship did not help not to mention it cost me an additional $250 in medical fees through no fault of mine as we were perfect healthy when we boarded the ship.

Not sure what caused it but there was an outbreak of neuro virus which had many people restricted to cabins for a number of days. I found out that Princess Cruises has the 2nd worst record for breakouts of neuro virus on their ships

Cabin / Stateroom

Good room and storage shower a little small.

Ship tip

The internet is terrible VERY VERY VERY slow. Speedtest.net shows a result of only .25KB which is slower than dialup modem but yet they charge and arm and a leg price wise for the service Terrible.
