My husband and I took this cruise because of the itinerary. I'm in my early 50's and was considered young! We met some lovely people onboard but unfortunately it felt at times like we were on a floating convalescent home. The food in the Horizon Court has deteriorated and the quality of the food each night in the dining room was hit or miss. The food was sometimes lacking flavour, salt or spice. The food was sometimes bland but the waiters did their best to please us. On my four previous Princess cruises I've always enjoyed the fish dishes, but they were overcooked and tasteless frozen fillets. Cafe Corniche is the standout restaurant for lunch or dinner if you like pizza.

Princess have really got to lift their game with daytime activities. I found some of the activities like carpet bowls, paper airplane throwing and toss the bean bag quite lame. Unfortunately most of the entertainment was only put on at night and sometimes this coincided with dining times. I used to enjoy an afternoon movie in the Princess Theatre but this was not possible for the first few weeks as the dancers were rehearsing new shows. This should have been done before they boarded in Sydney. The theatre was never large enough to accommodate all the passengers who wanted to attend the tour and port lectures. Each evening the elderly would queue up for the shows so they got a seat.

Princess needs to address the stench of sewerage throughout the ship! Try the Royal Princess instead, you won't be disappointed.

Cabin Review

Balcony

The cabin was smaller than other Princess ships but very comfortable and spotless. The balcony was very private and large enough for two people to sit out there. We had sewerage odours which would frequently waft through our air conditioning. This would have been most unpleasant if we had been unable to open a balcony door. For the amount of people who caught a respiratory virus I feel it is imperative to be able to access fresh air from your cabin.
