Review summary

This cruise was traumatic due to the murder onboard. It put a damper on the fun because you grieved for this woman’s family. Princess did not do enough to keep us informed. Some thought the person responsible was still onboard etc. princess should have given an update!

Not impressed with the food! Horizon had the same thing every night. They need to add more options.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
With exception to a few like Darwin the waiter on 16-17; Geri at New Grounds, the staff was not as friendly.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The layout was difficult to navigate and remember which elevator covers which floors. Ship was clean.

Ship tip

Watch your ship account! I had to spend time every day getting corrections on my account due to over charges

Ship is a “Party of Interest” and as such they have to keep their mouths shut or have all sorts of legal issues. Agree with the entertainment and activities, Princess has cut way back, especially in the AM and early PM. Have no issues navigating on the Ruby or any of the ships I have been on, but then I have a lot of shipboard time and can pick up the logic of the layouts. I only do lunch and an occasional breakfast in the Horizon, some common dishes, some new each day.

They can’t. It’s a murder investigation. Read up.

I don't think any ships will tell you what's going on. When we went to Alaska we missed one of the places we were supposed to go to because there was a medical emergency and we had to wait for the helicopter. They never let us know what happened to the passenger or if he/she was ok.
