First, cruising is the best vacation value out there if one can drive to the embarkation port. This was our third cruise with the prior two on RCL. Conclusion: Not Impressed due to lack of a wow but we did score a great last minute price. Would we book Princess again? Sure, if you give us a new ship and a great price.

Ship: Dated. Eating in the main dining room felt like going to a nice local cafeteria with a touch of a Titanic motif thrown in. We loved sleeping during our last two cruise and it took a very determined effort to roll out of the “oh so comfy & cushy” beds on RLC. These beds were not “oh so comfy & cushy”, even after asking the cabin steward to adjust. One side of the bed was always lower or higher than the other side and never once did it sing its siren songs of "Forever Sleep". The room felt better organized and functional than RLC’s but Princess’s public areas were much less impressive.

Food: Food quality was quite good with props for their prime rib on the first night. On the 2nd formal night they had lobster and tiger shrimp with the shrimp out shining the lobster. We took our meals in the main dining room in the back of the ship with the traditional 1st seating option.
