This was our 13th cruise and we had a great time. Flew in from Seattle and was met by Princess rep at the airport. Boarded bus fairly quickly. Embarkation went smooth (Platinum boarding priority). We ate in the dining room instead of the buffet for lunch as it was not as crowded.

Dining: Breakfast was best in the main dining room. Lunch was also best in the main dining room but the international café was also good. We tried the Horizon buffet for lunch on port days and their selections were somewhat limited and the food was only fair. We had all our dinners in the main Dining room and this was the first time we had Anytime dining on a cruise. We would go to dinner between 5 and 5:25 each evening and we always got seated pretty quickly. We shared tables with many different people who were all so nice. Enjoyed all the dinner meals as they had a great selection. Thru the various nights, we enjoyed prime rib, beef tenderloin, NY steak, a Curtis Stone sea bass dish, lobster & prawn, beef wellington, and leg of lamb. We also had various seafood appetizers, escargot, soups and chocolate desserts that were also yummy.

I bought the Coffee card and besides using it in the International Café, I also used it in the Main Dining room as well. The Cappuccinos and Lattes were pretty good. Read more
