Review summary

We cruised with Princess numerous times in the past and things were much better. They have been cutting costs and it shows. We would never cruise with them again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Fast and easy. Best part of the cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Other than the meal we had in the Crown Grill, the rest of the food was kind of like eating at Denny's. The Horizon “restaurant” on the Lido deck was terrible. It would be “out of business” on land.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Activities were Okay but not memorable.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Very high tech but not particularly entertaining.

Children's Programs

We didn’t have the kids with us on this trip.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Mixed bag. We were traveling in Club Class and had excellent service in the reserved dining room we had access to. Elsewhere on the ship, service was indifferent. Crew doesn’t look very happy b

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Beautiful ship. Dining venues around the atrium were very noisy when entertainment was occurring below.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
We had a mini suite that was comfortable but it wasn’t very clean. One drawer had a lot of hair in it. Another had leftover change from a prior guest and there was an empty paper bag under the bed.

Ship tip

Pick another cruise line.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

3 out of 5
Easy to drive to and easy to park.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
The ship didn’t return to the dock it had sailed from. The distance between the two was quite far, definitely too far to walk. Would have been unfair to a taxi driver to take a cab so we used the ports shuttle bus. Very small and could only accommodate 10 passengers at a time. The cruise line should have had coaches to shuttle passengers but they didn’t. Terrible customer service!
