Great ports but wrong cruise line with horrible ship that was just launched in 2017 so it’s super disappointing but Mexico was great.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food was horrible and ruined the cruise. Food service staff was just as bad which was extremely surprising for Princess. We won’t be sailing with Princess for a while.

Alfredo's Pizzeria

4 out of 5

Alfredo’s was hands down the best part and only good food on this cruise ship. We ate there every day and after terrible main dining room and specialty dining dinners.

International Café

Allegro Dining Room

Horrible. Disgusting. Dark and gloomy. Engines rumbling. Staff asleep and careless. Food old and cooked incorrectly on every attempt. We had a waiter named Sergio that was truly terrible.

Harmony

Got our money back because this was microwave food with no flavor and steaming slopppy mush. It was funny actually. And the manager of the restaurant told me I was wrong and that chicken bites were supposed to be tough because they are smaller. LOL. Holy crap this ship was bad. Needless to say we booked Royal Caribbean for Dec 2022.

What activities? Trivia? Lol. Princess is about food and service and this ship has neither.

Entertainment

Comedians and performers were good and the shows were as expected, nice surprise.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Mostly bad, a couple good. Overall it felt like a ship where no one wanted to be there and they knew the quality of what they were doing was bad and it irritated them.
