Review summary
The ship was decent, not great. The crew and service was top notch. The food and dining was also top notch. We were disappointed with the activities during the day and into evening. Example: napkin folding class. Yikes. That gives you an idea of the average age of fellow passengers, had to be 80+. The theater was too small to accommodate the needs as we had to go and secure seats 45 minutes early to be able to see shows. We missed two shows due to overcrowding. The Colon excursion was a nightmare. Wish we had not gotten off the ship there. This was our first Princess cruise and feel we will go back with Holland America next time.Embarkation
