Review summary

There were enough interesting ports to make up for the lack of entertainment on board. Food and dining experience were excellent.

Onboard Activities

Ship was boring with few activities that were interesting. Most were aimed at self-help, nutrition, older people. They were fine but not why I go on a cruise.

Agree. Wonderful itinerary. We did a very similar cruise last year, and enjoyed it very much. Certainly found lots to do including shows.

Great itinerary. Appreciate your feedback. Sorry you didn’t have activities that appealed to you. Princess is considered a “more adult” cruise line. Glad you still managed to enjoy your cruise.
