Review summary

Would never go on this ship again . I have been on nine princess ships . Is this the new standard for princess now ? Spoke to ppl on princess for first time they said never again . This vacation may have turned me off cruising .

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Clean dining room. Buffet food was not good . If you are in wheelchairs, scooters or walkers I would recommend not having to go to the dining room on 6 th floor . Only two elevators go down and some night we waited over twenty minutes waiting for an elevator to get down there .

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Pool and karaoke was good . The voice very good .

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The shows were not good . Princess has always been known for good shows . This ship seemed boring . For example first night was a man playing a trumpet for an hour . No variety . Several night was like this . Comedian was amazing . Even the production show was just so-so.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Our waiters in dining room were amazing .

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Washrooms always had plugged toilets and water on floor . They were not kept clean . This was on a daily basis .

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was kept very clean. Enjoyed having the patio. We had our heat off and cabin was so hot at night . We had no choice but to leave our door open at night . Sign on door said this would effect the air conditioning. What air , we talked to so many people experiencing the same . I know a few that slept on patio. Not good . We did not have a problem with flooded cabins but our next door neighbour woke up to water running down the wall so her bed and carpet were soaked . They moved her to dry things up .it seemed to be clear water. We know of at least a dozen people that were flooded . Some were not so lucky, they had sewer pouring in . One family had to be moved down to deck 2 . All their cloths had to be sent for dry cleaning . We did have a bucket in hall in front of our door . This ship should be pulled out of service until their plumbing issues have been rectified . I know this ship has been sold so I can only see these conditions getting even worst .

Ship tip

Do not waste your money on this ship.

Sorry you had a bad experience. We have sailed on the Star Princess 3 times, the last time was March. Looking forward to our Hawaii cruise next January. The only thing missing is Captain Bye Bye. He is now captain of the New Sky Princess.

Fun filled 16 day Cruise

A unique experience

Very nice relaxing cruise but found there were not enough activities to do on our sea days
