We plan on cruising with Princess again. Kimberly Lindsey was our agent and she made the entire process easy and convenient. She does excellent work. Our dining room waiter, Adelfo Duterte, his assistant Alex Malto, were excellent. Our room steward Percival was also excellent.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining was excellent. The buffet was small but sufficient. Seating was sometimes difficult in the buffet area.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed many of them.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were excellent. The seating was not so good. 660 seats twice a night doesn't work for 2,000 passengers. One had to go an hour early to get a seat.

Children's Programs

No children on board.

The steward kept it clean and organized. The only issue was the shower.
