Review summary

Aft cabin below THE VISTA noisy and soot on balcony. Private entertainment apparently procured the Vista for several nights. Besides the noise, we were not able to have that venue for additional shows, comedians, etc. Definitely should have been forewarned! Staff very nice. Restaurant wait staff superb. Food very good. Dissappointed last night dinner however since usually a grand fairwell. Excursions mediocre. Not as nice as other cruises!

As above!! Noise level high after midnight from show. Soot on balcony. Refrigerator door fell off. Carpeting needed cleaning. Locked out of safe. Cleaned balcony 2 days out of 10 and curtailed us sitting on it. Aft noisier than expected.

Ship tip

Tip would be to ascertain entertainment onboard utilizing BOTH venues! Piazza beautiful but prefer small gatherings perhaps with comedian or singer or kereokee. Princess Live good sometimes.

Had heard that the aft balconies were prone to the soot.
