This was our first Princess cruise, we have done many cruises on other lines. We were really looking forward to trying a new cruise line but unfortunately we were very disappointed and would not sail with Princess again.

The ship was nice, the same layout as P&O Azura and Ventura which we have sailed on before. The crew were good, friendly and helpful.

The food was really awful, we couldn't believe how bad it was when we first arrived and went to the Horizon Cafe on deck 15. All I could find that I could eat was bread and cheese, nothing seemed to match and the quality was poor. We hoped it was just a blip and things would improve.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin B2

Nice cabin with extra large balcony, like the layout of the wardrobe by the bathroom. No kettle and unable to request one

Port Reviews

Vigo

Nice enough town, went for a walk and coffee, nice shops

Lisbon

Been to Lisbon many times, the ship was docked a long way from the town and no shuttle bus offered. We caught a train to Cascais which is nice seaside town

St. Peter Port (Guernsey)

The queue for tender tickets was ridiculous and was very foggy so we opted to stay on board and drink cocktails!

Southampton

Embarkation very smooth
