Review summary

We've had a great cruise and vacation. All ports of call was worth visiting which we enjoyed very much and would recommend to all who would like to seek out and visit these places.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was very organized and it took very time to board the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The service at the main dining and specialty restaurant was fantastic and the buffets was the best we had yet and we have sailed 12 other cruises with Princess and other cruise lines and before this one.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We enjoy the out door track as well used the poor every day. How ever their was no separation between the kids pool and the one for adults. There seem to be children running and screaming all over the place with very little control or excess for adults that wanted to use the pool.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The shows was just okay not by far the best we seen. However we enjoyed the movies under the stars. The casino was small, I would advise all those who would want to try their luck at the casino not too ....unless they had lots of money to throw away.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our server Flora at the main dining was awesome and the ship personnel was great.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship design was nice and seem to be well maintained our ever the common rest room was not so clean but the rest of the common area was.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was overall very clean but smaller then what we use too for a balcony cabin but did not lack in comfort.
