I was expecting more since I know a lot of people who said they thought Princess was the best. This cruise was okay but I didn't think the entertainment or the food was as good as some of our other cruises (on Celebrity and NCL). Could have had more variety in entertainment--the 3 shows most nights was good but area still seemed too small for such a big ship and it would have been nice to have some tables or drink stands in area.

I liked the adults only pool area but was disappointed in the pool there (too deep) and other pools since only one had shallower water, most started at 5ft. Of course the one that started at 3 1/2 ft. had mostly children.

We did have an excellent cabin attendant but there were a few servers in dining room who were not very pleasant. The anytime dining was nice and since you could still make reservations it worked out good.

I did like the open closet because it gave you more room for clothing.

It could have had more amenities in bathroom. Coffee maker in room would have been so nice.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Used Viator to book a 3 hour shore excursion tour (with the guarantee of on time return) and enjoyed it very much. There were only 8 passengers in a air conditioned van. Good tour guide

Aruba

Wonderful tour guide and good air conditioned bus. Very informative.

Grenada

Great guide but HORRIBLE transportation--car with broken seat and ripped seat covering. Since we were the only 2 he made extra stops for us.

Dominica

Not the greatest transportation but Hot Pepper was so much fun and so friendly. The fact that we ended up being his only 2 passengers made it great. We were first to most of the stops that other tours made so we got right through. The stop at Mr. Nice's Fruit stand was great. Would recommend Mr. Pepper's Tours to everyone.

St. Thomas

Queen Marian was a hoot. Speaker in van wasn't too good so it was hard to understand some of her comments but had a good time anyway.

Bonaire

Great, funny guide. Good stops and information.
