Review summary

I did notice a drop in the quality of food since I last cruised with the Princess line. The milk was served in individual containers before and also the butter and jelly. The jelly is in a big bowl along with the syrup and butter, the milk is in a pitcher. Salt & pepper shakers were not in the buffet. The service was wonderful, my only complaint was the food.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

I haven’t cruised since 2006 on Princess. I noticed a big change in their dinner selections in the main dining room (not for the better). The buffet was very large but the set up was confusing. I didn’t eat in the specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Trivia, golf, basketball, yes we enjoyed them. Need more activities when docked, not everyone gets off ship.

No you don’t see jelly packets and milk cartons at fancy restaurants, but you are served your own individual helping. It wasn’t very appealing dipping into a big bowl of jelly. The sugar free was placed next to it in a smuckers jar with a spoon. I would much rather have individual packets.

Less packaging is better for the environment

I think as far as the individual containers, Princess is trying to make it more classy. You don't see jelly packets and cafeteria style milk cartons at fancy restaurants. I don't know which costs more though.
