Sail Date: Dec 2016
Cabin: Balcony

We were anytime dining. All dining experience was wonderful. We did eat in the main dining room for breakfast and the buffet the days at port. All restaurants, staff and food was wonderful.

Our cabin was on the Baji Deck. Deck 11 (balcony cabin) Cabin never cooled. At some point air was cut off to our cabin completely. This was a problem in the dining rooms and halls. However it was always cold in the atrium. We call several times however they couldn't fit it. I believe the ship needs some repair to the air conditioning.

Staff all over the ship was wonderful. Entertainment was good and movies under the stars was nice too. Popcorn included. Never missed a stop at the ice cream stand. Princess doesn't have enough places for adults only. Terrance Pool & Spa pool where adults only -just not enough space for adults only. No security guard at night to control wild children unattended by parents.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BA

Our cabin had dust on the ceiling, and appeared to be blood splashed on the ceiling. I needed to spray the cabin with Lysol. However, I believe everyone should do this. Rust on the balcony floor. This ship was going dry dock in a couple of months. The Diamond needs a facelift.
