Review summary

Overall we had a good experience. We enjoyed every port of call. The icecream on Princess international Cafe was delicious but the other stuff , not impressed. After this one experience with Princess Cruises, we can say we like Carnival cruises better.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

This is where we had a pause. The buffet menu was not so good. We felt like there were fewer options than we are used to. I think the pizza was terrible and my husband was upset that it was not available 24hrs. On the upside, diner in the restaurants was great. The other thing I was not thrilled about was having so many restaurants you had no pay extra fees to dine in.

Ship tip

The ship is fine, huge. It is too bad the shower area in your stateroom is so miniature. Yes, I know the cabins are never huge but comparing to our 4 previous cruises with Carnival, we felt these were extremely small. Overall the trip was great and I think a must do.
