I believe we chose the wrong Islands trip, next time we go with your orient trip again.

Review summary

The next time we know not to go on holidays, sooo many kids with no manners. Wished the theater would have had nice shows instead of a comedian. We did not go to the theater since we don't care for comedians.

Thanks for the review. The point to be made about the small portions is that you can always ask for more. I am pleased that the portions are smaller as it tackles the waste food problem.

Thank you for your candid comments about that Sky and your short trip.. we have had nothing but FANTASTIC trips on her including packed theatres every single night for the shows, (maybe they didn’t have any on your cruise this time), all ours have been in Europe and Mediterranean so may have different itinerary? Sarah and the rest of the entertainment crew were above and beyond all expectations every time we get on this ship… We are on her again in April 2023 and August 2023 and fully looking forward to both cruises.. we are also on the Caribbean Princess in April 2024… in the Caribbean! The very first cruise ship we went on for our honeymoon back in 2012.. (We are hoping to be Elite by then), celebrating our anniversary! Blessings, John and Briony.

Appreciate your feedback. We sailed on this ship earlier in the month and there were few children. Thought the portions in the dining room small but adequate. Sorry you were disappointed.
