My husband & I have cruised before (P&O) but after this, we'll definitely be coming back to the Princess ships. Each has their positive points, but this cruise ticked every box.
Have the choice between allocated dinning (Regency) or free dining (Horizon), was great for us, we tried the free dinning first, but once we met our dinning companions, we got hooked. We shared a table with a group of fantastic people and we had the most entertaining and wonderful waiter staff you could ever have. Ronaldo and Jesse were fantastic, they were welcoming and friendly. What I loved was that if you got a bottle but if you didn't finish it, it was saved for a later night. Great idea!
The food was supreme. So must variety and deciding was the hardest part. There was plenty to eat and there was something for the fussy ones (like me). There was 1 night where my beef piece wasn't cooked the way that I like (very well done, no pink) and Ronaldo fussed and fussed and said I wasn't to eat it as it wasn't what I ordered. He took it away, returned with his manager, with a steaming hot piece, cooked the way that I liked. They apologized for the inconvenience.
We went for an internal room this time to see the difference, you lose all sense of time in those rooms. Our room was small, we kept bumping into each other when trying to dress, there was such a small area between the bathroom and the bed. The shower was a good size and the wart was hot, very nice. Next time an window room, they looked a little bigger (sneaked a peak when walking past)
