I do not like the recent changes to the modern high tea menu. Less options in Grills dinner menus was disappointing.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We had a P1 Princess Grills Stateroom. My only fault with the room was the join in the bed was uncomfortable and an area to avoid while sleeping.

Gibraltar (U.K.)

Do your own thing here. I recommend the cable car, warning the apes know how to open backpacks, will jump on your back and steal your food. I had a great day so worth while doing the cable car.
