Review summary

This was a last minute booking (7 days prior to sailing.) The offer was too good to pass up. Rumor had it we sailed with 2,700 passengers, but it sure seemed like less. But it that’s true, it was the most post-COVID. Staff and crew are all nearing the end of contract in another 6 weeks or so. Will be interesting to see how Princess manages the first mass crew changes since COVID.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Great! No waiting and no lines to speak of. About 10 minutes from the front door to the Promenade Deck…

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was great. Did the dining room each night, lunches on deck or poolside, and breakfasts at the buffet. Not disappointed.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Went to the fitness center most days, line dancing, trivia, Princess Theater, all we’re done we’ll…

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Never missed a show. All very well done. Great singing talent. This group of entertainers at the end of their contract… a new group boarding now to take over May 5th.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff was very attentive and approachable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

This is not a new ship, but she’s in great condition…

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Nice room with a larger than normal balcony. Sits down low (Emerald Deck 8) and forward right where I like it.

Ship tip

This ship was built for the Asian market so it has no Sanctuary. But they replaced that with the Hollywood Pool and Conservatory, both indoor facilities on the upper decks for adults. I learned to enjoy the pool there.
