Review summary
The ship itself was very nice. Room was nice, but with a tiny balcony that we found difficult to use much. Everything was very clean, staff was friendly. The entertainment was, well, boring for the most part.

Agree with all the previous posters that PC caters a mature, seasoned cruiser who is not interested in all night partying... and that is absolutely fine by us!

I'd love to, but can't do it.
Looking forward to '19 though!

John - 10:00 PM? So you're one of the all night partiers? :P
The complaint the OP had is the same reason I enjoyed my Princess cruise so much.

That what walking the plank is for....

You're my perfect definition of rowdy - love it ...I love seeing people have a good time laugh and enjoy themselves ... it's when they go overboard (which they almost do literally) and infringe on other's good time that I resent. Cruise ships don't cut people off in the same way a bar will nor do they invoke a curfew so people with no self control go berserk.

I agree with the posters. Princess is more sedate. That does not mean we don't get a bit rowdy---until 10:00 PM... then we go to bed....

I agree - the Princess cruises are definitely not party ships and cater to a more sedate polite group of people. I would replace your word boring with relaxing ...and that's why I cruise. If I wanted to be with boisterous drunk rude people, I'd go to a nightclub and skip the expense of a cruise.

After 4-6 cruises they should know to check out what is important to them. There are no cruises that have everything for everybody. Just reading a few reviews would show you that this line caters to people who are not into parting all day everyday while onboard. It is unfortunate that you did not everything you wanted. I love this line for the very reason you did not. Some people say my life is boring but I set things up, including cruising, for what is important to me. Some people may not like the rest of this sentence, I am happy I do not have drunks knocking on my door in the middle of the night by accident, never had anyone throw up in the hot tub with this line, have never heard anyone swearing while talking about their conquest from the night before. All of these things have happened on "party ships" I have been on and the majority of the people just laughed about it. Give me boring over party anytime.
