For our honeymoon we decided to get a glimpse of another part of the world with the comfort of a cruise. Princess had both the itinerary and timing right.
The ship came directly from 10 days in dry-dock but not a word was mentioned about any improvements. It did however look to be in very good condition. From talking to the crew we understood that during dry dock the casino had been completely replaced and expanded. This had in turn demanded the office space of the shore ex manager - a fact she mentioned during several port lectures.
Activities aboard were plenty but after 3 days at sea we felt that is was very repetitive. Other guests told us that they had been doing the exact same pop choir practice on 3 different cruises with Princess. As a consequence we're a bit wary to travel with Princess next time. The Enrichment@Sea lectures were outstanding.
Cabin is located on 14th floor, Lido deck, 1 room from the bridge. No noise from people passing by or from entertainment and not a sound from the fitness centre that is located directly above - and we did check that it was in use. Aircon efficient and quiet. Huge TV with great quality. Plenty of space for storage. Shower isn't the best and there was a bit of mold to be found.
Must-see city/country. After 50 years of independence it is even more British than London while at the same time making the UK look like a failed state. Everything is working to perfection, great for shopping, and the two gardens are both worth visiting. Public transport is excellent and brings you within walking distance of the cruise terminal.
