We had a very relaxing time onboard. Just finished two months around travelling in Europe so it was good not doing much. Staff are always wonderful and met some wonderful people.

Review summary

Overall an excellent cruise. Unfortunately the onboard Entertaiment is getting worst. Not sure what Princess cruises are thinking but not worth what ever they are paying. Need better presenters and activities.

Agree, we have given up on most entertainment on most cruise lines we have travelled with.Just taking up space they are...
