We are a family of 4. Two Boys ages 10 and 13. 3rd cruise first with Princess. Embarkation was a breeze. arrived at the terminal around 12:30 on the ship enjoying a cold beer shortly after 1:15. She is a great ship once we discovered how to get around.

Food : No complaints in the Horizon Court or Caribe buffets. Good selection for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had anytime dining in the Da Vinci dinning room,we had a great table (488) wonderful window view. And great servers, Barack from India and Lilly from Ukraine. We had no problem reserving the same table for the remainder of the cruise. We did not try any of the specialty dining options , food was just as good in the Dining rooms. Great Pizza and Ice Cream bar on the Lido Deck, and Trident Grill served up great burgers hot dogs and fries. Be warned Coffee is very strong at times. Overall typical cruise line food.

Entertainment : This is where we were very disappointed. Princess Theatre is way to small to handle all of the passengers. We managed to get one show in. The rest of the shows had no seats left even when we arrived 30-35 minutes ahead. This is a design flaw of the ship. even 10:30 PM shows were all taken. Overall ship was sold out, but never did we feel crowded. Sea days typical activities on main pool deck, Lots of chair hogs, if you notice a chair or two with a towel on it but no usage after a hour just help yourself. Thats what we did and never had anyone complain.To bad so sad i say. Read more
