Review summary

In my experience, Princess is a gamble. You may get great service or it could be awful. This trip was very good and I have no complaints at all!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy. Not sure how they could have done better.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good in the main dining room. In our opinion, Share has slipped. I wouldn’t waste my money on it again.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
I used the fitness center. The activities offered on ship really didn’t interest us. They used to have a comedian do a matinee performance in the lounges but apparently, they don’t anymore.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Same shows they offered a couple years ago. Just okay.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
I have to say, the service was light years ahead of my last princess cruise. Our room steward, Marlin was great and so was the dining room staff.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I like the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Adequate size room but bathroom is way too small. Shower is very tiny.

Ship tip

Don’t miss the International Cafe!
