Review summary

All in all a good getaway celebrating our 30th Anniversary. It was suppose to be celebrated on the ship our tour guide said, but we got nothing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
very organized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
main dining rooms were excellent Symphony. Buffet was repetative. Catered to the Asian clients.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Pools were great, very windy and cold to use, perhaps an indoor pool would be a a suggestion. Activities were very repetative, same thing every day. Fees apply for BINGO, very pricey. For what we pay a lot of fees still apply, not right.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
DJ Ata same every night, need to change it up. The piano band crew was alot of the same night after night, Ballroom dancing gets old for 15 days.

Children's Programs

no children traveled with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Bellinis Best Crew Ever!!! Chetan from India, Punya from Thialand, and Lailen from Phillipines, They go above and beyond to make your cruise wonderful. Smiling every day, They are like family. Best wishes to them all. They are very hard working people. Top Notch!!!!!!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Very clean and well maintained ship. Need indoor pool and easier access hottubs. The santuary should have been reservations not a fee to use it. Empty most of the sailing. The gazebos at the aft pool empty most of the trip. Fees for everything.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great room. Carletto our cabin steward was amazing. Always there to greet you. Happy guy. Thank you Carletto for all you do!!!

Ship tip

Alot of water time with minimum activities. No shows at all, very disappointed. Deal or no Deal, Comedian, really!! more thought on the Theater shows.

Glad you enjoyed all the Islands you visited sounds like you had a great time! I am sorry that your trip wasn't up to par for you. I hope you will give Princess another chance in the future! Happy Sailing!

Don't feel bad, the MDR cruise dinner on our 40th was one of the worst tables if ever been seated at. Also no acknowledgement at all. We've had the same experience on multiple lines and have just come to not worry about it when in the main dining room. As a tip, go to a specialty restaurant and let them know. They will treat you right.
