Review summary

Avg Age on ship was I'd say 52-55. It's very laid back. Ship is choppy and not an open concept. Food isn't very good. Entertainment is borderline bad. Movies under the stars is great. To be honest, this experience makes me never want to sail with Princess again. Which is very unfortunate. :/ Not impressed at all tbh.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy check in, seamless embarkation. The Medallion makes this process second to none!

Very good, costs $1.77 per trip. But very tasty.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Slow vibe on ship, short triva that felt rushed. Best part was Voice of the Ocean, like a Voice show at sea where the guests compete! DJ Jaro, on may occasions wouldn't take sing requests. He couldn't hold a crowd very long and when he hosted trivia's he was honestly quite a dick at some points. The Project 5 Band was mediocre at best. After 3 or 4 songs and several attempts to enjoy this band, I just couldn't. Next the entertainment "So Cool" was absolutely horrid. No vibe, bland singing, low key, and honestly felt like a here ya go this is all we got type of entertainment option. Steel Pannist Tyrone was ok at best. I understand the Caribbean theme but I can only listen to that kind of music here and there. He was decent! Christian Bispo was good entertainment, he seemed to hold the most consistent crowds on the ship. Nice laid back bar vibe music. Had a good voice and was entertaining throughout his multiple performances. Main shows in theatre we're ok. Sweet Soul Music was good, the Illusionist was good and Jeffrey Allen the Elton John Tribute Show was good.

Entertainment

See above...

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room was always clean. Room Service was prompt. Very nice welcoming staff. Would have to wait in service at pool deck for quite a while.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Ship didn't flow at all. Was very choppy, the layout was all over the place. Decor was nice. Definitely older ship vibe. Definitely clean and elegant.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Comfortable Bed, nice desk and chair. Minimal outlets for charging. TV was nice and big. Closet was huge. Bathroom was ok. I'm a bigger guy and it worked for me. Room stayed very clean thanks to my room stewardess.

Mountains Galore and Beautiful

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
I mean it's San Juan, a too port of call no matter what you want to do.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
Enriched with lots of history, a must see!

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
Great beaches near boat. Rest of island is run down and not much to see tbh.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Like I said with embarkation. The Medallion makes Princess second to none as far as this goes!

Thanks for your review, sorry you did not have a good time. I never cruised with Princess, but I have cruises with a few other companies and there are major differences between all of them. Look for a better fit for you. There is something for everyone.

Enjoyed it? You obviously didn't read my review! This was a horrible experience! So bad I feel like a refund should be issued.
