Review summary

The young man who met us at our room and said he was in charge of our room along with 19 other rooms, we only saw him briefly 3 times, so I had to ask around for answers.

 

Disappointed with food selections. 3 restaurants served exactly the same thing every night and buffet choices were not always appetizing.

 

I wish the drink packages and their pricing were noted when we bought our tickets. We would have included them in one purchase price. Easier that way.

 

Tracey Arms was disappointing because we couldn't see the glacier.

 

The ship and crew were wonderful and other than the items mentioned, we had a great time. Getting on and off and finding luggage was easy.

 

I recommend the cruise line, crew, and itinerary and we will surely cruise Princess again.

The drink packages are listed clearly on Carnivals website. And you cannot put them in with the price of your crusie because theu have to be paid for in full when you decide to get them.

The two dining halls had different menus each night. Specific to the area we were in. Salmon when at sea. Steak at port. Ect.
