Have never cruised on Princess before and will be reluctant to do so again. The embarkation was a diaster waited in line for two hours, I have been on ten cruises and have never experienced this unpleasant delay to board.

Our cabin was on deck 5, forward, we were quite happy with it until we realized we could not lower the air conditioner temperature. We complained and the technician came four times and finally gave up. We slept most nights with our duvet off. Our cabin attendant was excellent but did tell us that other people were complaining about the air conditioning.

We choose anytime dining, we found the menu and service very good.

Airconditioning was faulty and could not be repaired despite 4 visits from a technician.

Port Reviews

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

Private tour in a small group, enjoyed it very much.

Shanghai

We had to make our own way to the Bund

Nagasaki

The time in port was very short, really not enough time to do only one thing. We wondered why the company bothered to dock there.

Singapore

We went to Sentosa Island and enjoyed the experience.

Hong Kong

Met up with family who escorte us around.
