Review summary
The ship is new, so it is very clean. But the ship is too big, holds 3,500+ passengers. There were long lines for embarking/disembarking; long lines for the elevators before/after the show time. The food in the Horizon Buffet are poorly prepared. Meats are over cooked and dry. Soups are salty. The cooktail shrimp is pretty fresh, but the cooked shrimps were over done and very dry. They provided some orient cuisine, but none of them were cooked right. They were nothing more than just dumping different vegetables mixed with dark brown sauce, which looks bad and tastes awful. The food in the dinning room were also disappointing. The steak is dry and tough. Lobster was not juicy tender. The dinner rolls were rock hard and cold. But their desserts were very good. The entertaiment and activities are well arranged.

I have only sailed on one Princess ship. The cruise itself was wonderful. I haven't returned to Princess because of embarkation problems. We arrived early for boarding hoping to avoid a long line. The line was long but the problem was not standing for so long, I can wait my turn like anyone else. The problem was, the Princess staff kept bringing over passengers waiting on other very short lines over to the head of our line. Everyone on line was getting exasperated over the situation since it was happening so often. Not sure how long I'll wait til I return to Princess. It has been several years now.
