Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Good food and great service, we felt the only “down side” was the menu choice in each of the dining rooms were the same menu, best place to eat for choice was in the Horizon self service restaurant, Sabatini’s the Streak house and Crab Shack were first class well worth the cover charge ; if each of the restaurants offered a different menu we would have given five stars

Crooner's Lounge & Bar

5 out of 5

Nice relaxing place to watch the world go bye

Alfredo's Pizzeria

5 out of 5

Great pizzas made fresh and would add item if not on menu

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not used so no real comments

Princess Fine Arts Gallery

1 out of 5

Way to much emphasis placed on this venue, it seemed to be a constant round of “Auctions” to “Sell” the art work.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the entertainment, felt it could have been better if the cruise ship dancers and singers were on more often, they only performed on three days out of the fourteen day cruise. Enjoyed the trivia quiz’s

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Good service from all the staff no problems at all

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Clean but starting to look “dated” but no major problems

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin P330. Cabin was Clean and Tidy. The shower a little small but no real problem
