@MARKXDSTOP My review was based on my cruise experience. My biggest regret was booking a cruise on a cruiseline we had never sailed with before. Hence we ended up sailing aboard a literal floating nursing home attempting to celebrate our 45th Anniversary!! This was our 9th cruise, but first and last Princess cruise. As far as my star ratings: it's pretty obvious that we were not satisfied with the Entertainment or lack there of; the food or the onboard activities which seemed geared toward pain management seminars, bingo, exercise classes, art auctuons, and ring tosses. There was nothing to do during the day except walk. No music on the lido deck, one comedy show that we wasn't good. The food was awful watery eggs, greasy bacon, pastries that had no taste. My review was geared towards being tasteful but since you asked this is how bad our cruise was. This was the first cruise I was ever happy to see end.

I know it is hard to edit your review after posting, but could your shipmates here get a little more information on why you rate so many things 1 star yet gave the overall four star rating? Please clarify if you care to.
