We have cruised 4 other times with Disney, we expected a much more adult cruise with Princess and a itinirary such as Alaska. The cruise did not meet our expectations. The food was cheap buffett style at best, all in our party 5 in all agreed that the food left alot to be desired. In the International dining room we had a difficult time choosing a meal that was appealing to us, everything was quite exotic. We never had a desert that we liked, everything tasted the same, creamy & bland. We tryed the cookies everyday and each day they were burned. The cruise seemed to cater to te elderly population with seminars on health care proxcys and living wills. The ship was very dificult to get around, main decks did not go through from forward to aft, you would have to go up q deck to walk to midship and come down a deck or two. Embarkation was a circus as was disembarkation.

On the upside, the room steward was fantastic and always at hand. Our dining room staff was excellent and very knowledgeable. The ports of call were beautiful. The lotus spa was fantastic, my best cruise experiences were spent there

I would not choose Princess cruise line again, and I do cruise 2 times a year with a family of 5.
