I was eager to experience the latest Princess ship after enjoying many previous cruises on Princess. While many of the public areas of the ship are quite beautiful, I felt that in other respects the ship was a step backward for Princess. The ship seemed crowded. The enrichment activities were fewer than expected. The relocation of the fitness center to a location far from the spa seemed like a bad idea. The size table I got was larger than I requested. The staff seemed under pressure. It was not the gracious experience I had previously found on Princess.
