This was our 12th cruise on princess. Boarded around 12 with no problems. Ship is elegant. We had a mid ship mini suite. Difference from other Princess mini was balcony which is smaller but fine as room for two chairs, two footstools and table, sofa was huge, more room in that area as they took out the bump out that had tv on other ships and just used long desk area with two 35 in or so flat screens tv. Recommend not to do mid ship as that great new walk way on top deck that walks over the water?? It also gives people the ability to look over your balcony so privacy is not there.

Food was average in buffet but good in dining rooms. Did Crown grill and everyone loved it. We had booked chefs table as soon as we boarded. Husband was ill so we cancelled but friends went and loved it. Crooners bar is still the best place for drinks.

Entertainment was nice. In piazza all the time, in their live studio various game shows, vista lounge and theater. Beatlemaniacs were really good and had the passengers rocking. Read more
