Review summary

Good cruise but Princess was missing on some of the details. Only one pickleball net for two pickleball courts. Internet access was very less than adequate. Meal quality and selection did not compare to other cruises. Medallion communication system a great idea but many bugs yet to be worked out.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Flight that Princess air chose was cancelled and experienced frustration in getting rebooked.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food good but limited options

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Two pickleball courts and only one net. Long waits to get on the court. No one seemingly able to take care of the problem.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Even though they had an orchestra they still used canned background music and canned background singers. Not sure why they thought that was necessary. Detracted from the performance to see lip synching.

Children's Programs

No children

Ship tip

Don’t expect the medallions to work. Great technology but less than perfect execution.

Ports of call
