Review summary
The ship is beautiful and I particularly like the three floor piazza area as you can sit in one of the many lounges and enjoy music coming from somewhere in the area.
We did not think the food was outstanding, both in selection and quality and it seemed to me the dining areas were not well organized. We had "anytime" and at no time did anyone check to see if we actually were on that list, so anyone could decide to skip their traditional times and enter the anytime room. We waited in lines and one time when we failed to make a reservation we were totally ignored in the walk-in line (a long line was waiting) for almost half an hour. The wait staff was excellent, but there was no wine steward so the waiters had to take care of wine and drinks in addition to the food. The lounge staff was also excellent.
We spent time in the retreat adult pool area and enjoyed the pool, except the whole area and the steps into the pool were terribly slippery.
Even though they offered three shows they were packed each time - it would almost seem there were too many people for the amenities. The shows we saw were very good.
We really enjoyed Princess Private Island - beautiful beach and water.

Ship tip
For example: There are only two stair wells that go above the 7th floor. If you like to walk the steps and avoid the elevator lines, be aware they are only located at the far front and aft of the ship.
