Review summary

The cruise itinerary was good. A nice mix of days in port and days at sea. Excursions were quite expensive, though. The food in the buffet was excellent, but the restaurant was disappointing. We skipped it a few times as the menu had nothing interesting, and when we did go the food was overcooked 50% of the time. Wait staff in both areas were great, though. Very friendly and upbeat. Could have had more activities, especially during the days at sea; cut back on the silly games and have more lectures and classes. The gym was good, plenty of machines. However, there was no room for stretching, sit-ups, etc. as that space was in use by sales-related classes more of the time.

Cabin / Stateroom

Great cabin and location. We were on the same deck as the pool and buffet, so easy access to both. Very quiet, could not hear anyone above, below or next to us.

I really thought the Royal horizon court is better than some of the other Princess ships, it's a lot larger with quite a variety of dishes. I agree about the menu in the dining room, I skip steak there., The wait staff has always been excellent and we had a excellent steak in the specialty restaurant. I will do that again in 2017.
