Just a couple of words about our first Princess cruise from 10/14-10/29 to the Hawaiian Islands aboard the Star Princess. We really enjoyed it. The service was excellent; the food was great (especially the sugar-free dessert selections) and the ambience was on par with our past (6) Holland America cruises. I especially wanted to recognize our dining room waiter Melvin, his assistant Gloria, and Joel, the barista in the International Café: they were all personable, courteous, very professional, and did a great job.
Some things did not meet my expectations: I offer the following:
1. The soft serve ice (milk) cream is beyond terrible. The sugar-free ice cream is delicious. Holland America’s ice cream service is better.
