As this was my first cruise I really have nothing to compare it to :) Overall I was extremely happy and had a fabulous time. Met a lot of great people and developed some new friendships. The staff was top notch, always smiling and helpful. The food was very good with lots of options.

Opportunities for improvement -- the length of the shows was 30-35 minutes which I thought was a little short. The 2 shore excursions I took were great but the organization leading up to the excursion could have been a lot better. In St Thomas we had a difficult time finding out where we were to wait for our excursion. We were told by 3 separate staff to go to a different place to wait and it was a long walk up and down the pier only to be sent to a different spot. We later found out that the ship docked in a new spot so the crew was a little uninformed as well which added to the confusion.

All in all I would highly recommend the Princess Caribbean ship and sailing the Eastern Caribbean.
