Nice trip. Geared toward older crowd (65+). Need more energy on the ship. Entertainment should not be elevator roulette. Food was disappointing. Cruises with Princess multiple times and this may be the last.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Quick and easy
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
Buffet food wasn’t good. Too much International food and not enough “American” food. Breakfast was always good. Food quality isn’t nearly as good as it used to be.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Not nearly enough and most of what was offered was dumb. Kids enjoyed the basketball court. That’s about it.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
Only saw the comedian. He was excellent. There were only 2 shows and he was gone. Nothing else to report. Again, quality has gone down.
Children's Programs
4 out of 5
Good for 9 year old, boring for 12 year old.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Good service from all, but not enough of them.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Easy to navigate. Very pretty ship
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was great. 4 of us with bunks. It was tight in the evening when bunks came down, but worked fine. This is a handicap room. I need it for the shower due to balance troubles. This room was perfect.
Princess and Holland America are known more for their itineraries and quieter onboard experience rather than their entertainment and activities. They generally cater to an older clientele that does not always want or need lots of organized activities to enjoy their cruise. Those that prefer more onboard activities should probably try the larger ships with Carnival, NCL or Royal Caribbean.
