As I am in the airport with nothing better to do, I decided idea to add this reservation review. This was our 15th cruise, first on princess. Usually take ncl,royal or celebrity. Tend to book cruises with new ships. We had a great time as who wouldn't when on a new ship with beautiful warm weather.
The PositIves - new ship is the obvious. While not big buffetpeople, they definitely have the best at sea. Steakhouse was very good. Sabatini just okay. We used the Ma in dining room more than exerox with the food and services good. they don't make u sign for drinks which is nice,especially when in bathing suit. the crowd is definitely on the older side whom appears to have a lot of brand loyalty. People were very friendly. Show entertainment was welldone. Outdoor movies were nice and on demand TV in room worked great.
Criticisms - we were mid ship. I read the elevators would be a challenge and they were as there are no stairs above 7th even if u want to go up 1 fllor, u were forced to use theelevator. As my wife is mostly in a wheelchair, many times we would take the elevator in the opposite direction just to fit in. The lifts were small and u had to pushbuttons and hope u were near the one toopen. I like more variety with specialialty restauants. Not many kids on board. My girls would have been bored as compared to rcl If they were with us. Missed having promenade to walk the entire ship.
Nice cabin. One of the few benefits in life when disabled are the handicapped rooms which give extra space to maneuver. We were lucky to have a large deck as all the new ships reducing balcony sizes.
