Review summary

The weather on the Atlantic was very pleasant.  The Polonia String Quartet provided excellent entertainment.Princess Theater shows were old, overdone, tired, over-used themes the last few years.  Could use some fresh ideas.  The ship was generally dirty everywhere from cabins, hallways, elevators, dining rooms.  Staff seemed tired, ready to take a vacation.  Best service was probably in the Horizon Court.  Captains Circle events need some innovative ideas, not just come, sit, drink.

Seemed smaller than other Princess balcony cabins. Crowded. Balcony was tiny. Carpet, draperies were dirty, stained. Not up to standard we have experienced on other Princess (and other) ships.

Ship tip

Don't expect top quality entertainment or service. Be ready to lay back and read a book.

It is always amazing to me that passengers on the same sailing can have very different experiences aboard a cruise.  This also goes for restaurants, too.  People have different expectations & like different things.

WOW.  I was on that same cruise and I could not disagree with you more.  The ship was very clean, crew always seemed happy and smiling, food exceptional, our balcony cabin was excellent and the entertainment was above par.  We enjoyed many of the on board activities.  My only disappointment was the bed which was a little hard.
