Overall an excellent cruise - very relaxing and restful - just what the doctor ordered (literally!)!!
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarkation was very easy this time - we got to the dock a bit early - we were in the first group to board the ship - wait was not very long. Crew and personnel were warm and welcoming - we loved it!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We dined in the Crown Grill one evening - food was spectacular as always and service was top notch. Well worth the additional money.
We chose Anytime Dining because we like to go when we want and we like to dine alone together. Never had a long wait - had great tables. Food was not as varied as on past cruises, but still very good. Some of the wait staff appeared to be new and/or in training - not as much attention to detail as we've seen in the past and not as attentive. Seemed like there were not enough staff members for the number of diners. We have seen that decline in staff and service since Carnival bought Princess.
Onboard Activities

We rented a cabana at the Sanctuary Pool for two days over the cruise - enjoyed the experience very much.

Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Cabin steward was very personable and attentive - did an outstanding job with our cabin throughout the cruise. He was excellent!
Overall there were not enough bar staff - had to wait a long time between order and delivery - and trying to get someone to come back to check on us was an exercise in futility most of the time.

Cabin / Stateroom

Balcony was awesome - we enjoyed it very much. First time with a Deluxe Balcony on the back of the ship. I'm not sure I would do that again - got too hot in the afternoon. But the views were simply amazing!
Cabin was great - bed was very comfortable!
