We will go on another Princess Cruise again. Next cruise will be going to the Panama Canal next year.

5 out of 5
Nice quiet and peaceful bar if you want to have tranquility.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Onboard Activities were all very good, engaging and entertaining.
Gatsby's Casino
4 out of 5
I wished that the smoking area was isolated to only the smokers. The entire casino area smelled like cigarettes.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The entertainment at the main ship's theater was very good. The dance show was performed very well. The magician was awesome. The comedian was OK. More musicians could be performing at the piazza. It was kind of quiet at times when we will pass by midship which in our previous cruise, you can always hear music playing.
Princess Theater
5 out of 5
Very beautiful theater and I can compare it to a theater in San Francisco.
Children's Programs
No kids with us.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
There was no doubt that the service staff were all eager to get back to work after a 2 year hiatus because of COVID. All of the staff were very hospitable and accommodating.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
There was a bit of a problem on our floor when one of the pipes started to drip on the carpet and the crew had to put a blower to dry up the wet area on the floor. Otherwise, the ship was very clean and maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our steward kept our cabin clean and immaculate. Our room was very comfortable. We would book this room category again.
Ship tip
Explore the entire ship if you can. There's plenty to discover.
The weather was not very cooperative that day. It rained. However, one word of advice to both Princess and the Hop On-Hop Off company. They should have added more buses to accommodate the passengers wanting to take a tour of the city. We ended up cancelling our ticket as it got too cold to wait for the bus. We were waiting for over an hour and it looked like another hour to wait for the next bus to arrive and we may not have been able to get on as the line was very long.
