Review summary

This was our first time on Princess and will probably be the only time.  The food was definitely below satisfaction! I am a vegetarian and made that know from day one and was basically told that my entree choices were of two items for the whole 10 days....right! We ended up eating 8 nights at the additional charge restaurants so that I could actually enjoy my vacation. The employee's on the boat rarely spoke to you when walking by you in the hallways.  We had an issue with an excursion and the Princess company gave us a whopping discount of $13.99 even though we got stuck fro 30 minutes without transportation and an excursion that should have only been 3 hours ended up being 5 hours and we couldn't enjoy the island we had visited.

The food was the poorest we have ever had and can tell you that most of the people we met on the cruise shared the same feeling.

The cabin was fine for a mini-suite....just not sure why they refer to it was a "suite" because you don't get any amenities.

Sorry your cruise sucked. I wasn't that impressed with Royal or Princess in general. So far our favorite has been Celebrity, but, can't wait to try Royal Caribbean.
