Review summary

We had the first two cruises cancelled. We were originally booked for 40 nights but have only done 20 nights. In some ways I am rather glad. The ship itself is very different to other Princess vessels and I can’t make my mind up if that’s good or bad. We have sailed over 100 cruises with Princess for context. The food in the Signature Restaurant was absolutely excellent and the service was impeccable, as it has been in all areas we have been in. I am mildly disappointed with our Sky Suite, it just doesn’t compare to the Sky Suites on Royal class ships, the balcony is rather small and the living area feels rather small and cramped in comparison. The design is sleek and is a nice cabin but it doesn’t live up to its predecessor. The ship is very modern overall and has a completely different feel. I am not overly keen on the piazza, it is quite soulless really and has been turned into a bit of a nightclub, the huge screen also does not help. I am also not impressed that Princess has chosen to add the ‘Park 19’ concept, it just doesn’t belong on a Princess ship. Overall, she does have the potential to be a great ship with some areas being absolutely amazing (Crooners and Signature Sun Deck). I have booked a number of B2Bs on Star Princess’ inaugural season but we are weighing it up now. I think that Princess needs to tweak a few things. We have had a good time overall though.
