Review summary

We usually cruise NCL. But have come back to Princess. Princess let us drop off our carry on bags in the room , but told us the rooms may not be ready until after 1. Amazing satisfaction. Go with the plus package, both get unlimited WiFi for the cruise. The best cruise WiFi I had. The drink package is amazing. Includes bottle water, Red Bull, soda, alcohol, and wait fancy coffee’s like latte expresso and so on. Pre paid tips which allowed us to tip extra to the ones that we felt went beyond. Princess hands out towels for your shore excursions, no sneaking them out. Pure satisfaction.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything was good to above except when we sat in the second section ( closer to the back) in the buffet we got drink service 50% of the time. We started getting our own drinks. Also ran out of silverware the first 3 days a lot.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Very disappointed in the thermal spa (not like NCL). Thermal beds to high up not reclining. Other passenger had to show us how to fill the back area with towels. Dungeon like setting. No hot tub/ therapeutic pool. I love other thermal spa would not waste my money on this ship again.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Enjoyed most of what we attended

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our traditional dinning was excellent every time. The bars were top notch in acknowledging us and serving. Steward did his job.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the layout of the balcony and mini suite. Except the balcony has the old make fun of bathroom shower small stall with curtain sticking to you.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved the size of the suite. And bathroom with a tub.

Ship tip

Make sure you are okay with a small shower stall. It seems the mini suite and up offers tub showers much larger.

Disembarkation

40 minutes from disembarking until the lift driver picked up. The drive was at the port but very much traffic to get to us.
