My wife and I chose this cruise to get away for the Christmas holidays and it exceeded our expectations. The ship was excellent and cabins were surprisingly very quiet and comfortable. We originally purchased a standard balcony cabin but got upgraded shortly after booking to a deluxe balcony cabin which was great. It helped to have the extra room in the cabin with the sofa bed and the cabin was configured to a Queen bed with a sofa bed and then pull down bed from the ceiling. Sufficient storage space for the 4 of us over the 11 nights.

Itinerary had a good mix of ports and sea days with lots to do. Food on board was excellent as was the service. Quality of the entertainment (particularly the production shows) was outstanding. We traveled with our two kids (13 & 11) who also enjoyed the cruise. Unfortunately they didn't participate too much in the kids activities, but that's not really the cruise line's fault. Overall it was a great family cruise with friendly and very attentive staff who worked very hard to ensure everyone had a good experience. We look forward to cruising with Princess again and highly recommend.
