Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Food in restaurants and buffet as well tastes poorly. I wouldn't go back if it is regular restaurants. Most items do not worth second bites. Canned fruit turns to be the only selection rather than fresh fruit. How sad. Water has its own bad taste.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I only went to fitness center. It is fine but not spacious enough.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

I only went to night show, 7:30 or 9:30. Only a few performers are beyond average. Most shows from cruise contracted crew are bad. Singers' vocal are not impressive. Dancers are a little bit better. Lead dancer, a male younger guy, is good.

Shore-excursion purchased from Princess is scheduled to end around 4:30pm and it ends around 3:00pm. Not to mention we were set loose in a hotel to "swim" if willing. Turned out nobody did. With this level of content, price is way too high.

What a bad excursion. Blow hole is ordinary. Shops surrounding the blow hole are not attractive. The second stop is not interested either. Very disappointed.
