Review summary

I was really disappointed with this cruise from embarkation until disembarkation. I’ve been on the Ruby before and totally enjoyed it but this was more like a cattle ship cruise. Waiters were either new or unfriendly. Dining room was noisy and slow so we went up to the Lido, which was mediocre at best. Service was very poor. I have two more cruises with Princess booked, one out of Quebec and the other a world cruise, but if the Quebec Cruise is like this one I’m cancelling the World cruise. I pity the people who continued on the Hawaii and Australia.

Not the best. Dining room was noisy and service was poor, buffet was quieter but service was lacking. They seemed to be first time cruise employees and weren’t very happy
