Review summary

When we were on our first cruise in Dec, we were instantly hooked not he concept, but I had to use a walker due to a broken hip. This was a much better experience for us because I was 100%, and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people and seeing places we hadn't been but were high on our bucket list.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

No problem. We liked how pleasant and helpful the Princess staff is and were excited to experience being on a cruise without being handicapped.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was delicious, and we met some wonderful waiters and decided to sit with them for most of our meals.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We don't do very many onboard activities because we don't like most games.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Living on a small island, we're not exposed to a lot of performances so enjoy most of the shows on cruises.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We have really liked everyone on the staff, particularly because they all are cheerful and courteous.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

We're impressed with how well the ship is designed and always seems spotless.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your cruise with full mobility. Cruising Princess is quite addicting. We've been on the Royal 3 times and it's a beautiful ship. Just to let you know how addicting it can be we are going on #18 Princess cruise and my mom is going on #46!!!

I thought some of the shipboard games were kind of dorky, till I tried them. You can get hooked!
