This was our first ever cruise, and Princess surpassed all our expectations. What a beautiful ship! We had the most relaxing holiday of our lives and got to experience a wonderful part of the world. We chose the Eastern Caribbean Voyager visiting Antigua, St Lucia, Barbados, St Kitts, St Thomas and Princess Cays. I researched and booked most of the port tours myself and had no regrets. I did however regret booking the Trunk Bay beach tour through Princess. It was the only one we booked through them, and it was so unorganised and crowded. We all thought it was only Princess passengers however they made us stop for Celebrity passengers who never even came! We wasted a good 20mins for nothing. Highly recommend booking your own tours.

We booked the balcony obstructed view- E438 (which wasn't even obstructed- highly recommend) and the room was a decent size with more than enough luggage/wardrobe space. The room and bathroom were spotless. It was a perfect size for us. Loved that there were 3 mirrors in the room so getting ready was easy :) the bed was super comfortable, and the interactive flat screen TV was a bonus. According to other passengers on the ship, this was the most modern they have seen on any cruise. Loved that you just play movies and shows on demand! They had a great choice also. They also have live news too which was great.

We were mid ship and after reading many bad reviews regarding the middle lifts, I can now understand the frustration. Like I said this is our first cruise so we have nothing to compare it to, and apparently all other ships have stairs in the middle. Well not this one. Trying to get on during peak times was a struggle. A majority of the time we just gave up and walked to the back of the ship to get to where we wanted. It wasn't a massive drawback for us, but I did feel for the older passengers who relied on the lifts. This was probably the only con of the ship. Stairs would have been perfect there! Read more
