Fell short of hopes and expectations. We have been on 7 cruises now with this one. And on various ships and lines. But 3 of ours have been with Princess.
Never before have I felt this pressured to buy, buy, buy! Nor been bombarded with what I felt was not very high quality of the items.
I felt like we were almost captive on the ship with the short shore stops, and slow leisurely cruise speeds.
Cabin was nice, though a bit tired in appearance. Tired in that I felt it lacked a certain crispness I have experienced on other ships.The dual flat screen TV's afforded me a view of the bow and information, while the wife could watch other programs while reclining on the bed.As it turned out, our Port side cabin did, we felt, offer us a very good viewing location for much of the scenery highlights from our balcony.The black out curtains gave us good darkness for sleeping in the ever shortening nights as we sailed Northward to the land of the midnight sun.Our aft cabin did resonate at times with the actions of the thrusters, especially when turning or docking. That was disturbing even to a very sound sleeper as I am. And being aft, we had to "hike" to get to the bow where most of the food and theaters were.
