Definitlely consider Princess Cruises again in future. Norway is the first holiday destination we've been to that we've come back and said "we'd love to go there again".
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Queued a little longer than I'd like, but nothing unexpected or unreasonable
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Buffet good, but a bit like a cafeteria when busy. Dining Rooms and Speciality restaurants very good, but menus a bit limited / specific (but I have picky tastes!)
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Pools not as busy as I expected, able to find quiet-ish times without too much trouble. Only had stretch and tone classes or dance classes on sea days (2 days in 7)
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Onboard musicians and bands all very good. Sometimes the timings could be better (so that there were more options to find music - there are 3 bars and 6 or 7 bands / musicians so it was surprising to find some evenings with no music on until 9pm or even 10pm)
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Mostly very good, helpful, cheerful and entertaining. One or two were a little grumpy (and I am ashamed to say the worse one was the English lady!)
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Clean and functional, but the ship is looking a little 'tired' and 'old' in places.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Lovely size, plenty of storage space. Balcony good size with 2 chairs / loungers and a table. There isn't anywhere for 2 to sit inside and eat (other than on the bed, or 1 sat at the writing desk). Air con didn't seem particularly effective, but with balcony doors this isn't a major problem (apart from the foggy mornings when the ships fog horn means you need to close the door!)
Glad u had great time can’t wait for 27 looking forward to get on board sapphire last 4 cruises all on p and o very good but princess I find a couple of notches better all aboard
