Review summary

Excellent overall. A cruise like this is great to explore different countries and islands in a short period of time. I would like to see more accommodations for vegans and healthier options. I would recommend.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Very smooth and easy to follow process. Our bags did not arrive at the airport and we were delighted to find our bags waiting in front of our room after the first day. Princess made sure to remedy this unfortunate situation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The buffet had limited options for vegans, but still some nonetheless. The anytime dining experience was horrible. The staff made no effort to accommodate my dietary needs, were difficult to communicate with, and even argued with my requests. The food was the same food at the buffet. My experience at the speciality dining restaurant, Sabatini's was incredible. They were extremely accommodating, the food was splendid, and definitely muchee fresher and higher quality than the buffet or anytime dining.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Outdoor movies, shows, pool, and gym. Great movie selection in the cabin as well.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
All performers were great. The DJ at the club however, was TERRIBLE to say the least. Very poor selection of music. DJ Nikki played the same songs in the same order on several nights and did not mix songs. She simply played a playlist of poorly selected songs with each song played from start to finish--something that anyone can do! She even played the same song 3 times in one night!! She also was on the dance floor at times instead of DJ'ing!! She simply put on her iTunes playlist (the same 3 she has in rotation) and walked away.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
All staff were great except for anytime dining staff. They basically shame you for having dietary needs and are argumentative and not accommodating.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything was great except for some public restrooms. Some restrooms would have all stalls overflowing.

Cabin / Stateroom
