Review summary

This was our first time cruising. We loved our balcony stateroom on the starboard side on the 10th floor. We spent a lot of time on our balcony enjoying the view as we came into and left the various ports. The ship was well maintained and the staff was friendly and helpful. In my opinion, the food was average. I'm guessing if we'd spent the extra money to dine at one of the speciality restaurants, it would have been excellent but we felt we were already spending enough for the cruise and excursions without spending more for a good dinner.

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

Dining is not that much money its only 25.00 extra per guest....now if your traveling with a huge family...I get it, but when you are ashore and make reservations at a restaurant it is usually 75.00 and up for a good place so this seems way cheaper plus the food is exquisite!! Do it next time...you won't be sorry.

Specialty dining is better.  What Princess should do is open up a different Specialty restaurant each day for passengers to get the special dining experience they are promoting.  This would be for lunch only.  Call it a "Taste of Specialty Dining."  Reservations preferred. Without the additional dining fee. Free dining coupons in the Captains Circle program are also great perks.
