Review summary

After Covid lockdowns, this cruise was just what we needed. I am glad that Princess pulled if off! We got to all our ports and were able to disembark!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy entry when one follows the rules and protocols.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room meals were excellent, buffet was so-so. Service in buffet was inconsistent. Some of the pastry items were stale.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We spent our time in the spa and fitness center. The public areas around the pool were crowded.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Certainly not Broadway quality, although better than some others (Celebrity).

Children's Programs

We don’t have children.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Fernando at Bellini’s provided excellent service. Service in the Allegro Dining room also was exemplary.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Loved the layout. The common areas were clean and well-maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The mini- suite exceeded my expectations, although next time I’ll try to get a bigger balcony.

Ship tip

Don’t expect the medallion app to work all the time.
