we were given a great discount on this cruise because our first Princess cruise was a mechanical disaster, 50% off the value of our last cruise towards this one. I noticed several restaurant and dining room staff bickering among themselves in certain places and it gave me an uneasy feeling Jr waiter in DR messed up my drink order a few times and spilled pouring coffee a few times, he was new so i forgive him but maybe a little more training?

Ports were a great mix of hot sunny beach activities with fun excursions. The ship itself was a large beautiful ship with plenty of space for the 4000 guests on board. Only really crowded days were sea days and pool deck was jammed as to be expected. There was a major vibration in our cabin and in the Horizon Court, chief engineer explained that away with speed, ocean, wind conditions etc. but found it weird how it only happened in certain areas at certain times.

Entertainment was a decent mix of comedy, singers, magicians and stage shows. Stage shows i found were ok but talent could have been a little tighter, being off key and out of pocket a few times. I enjoyed the comedians but again, some old jokes we've heard before, the same "old people on cruises" type of stuff and both of them even did a couple of the same jokes. Glad i don't go based on this trait. Read more
