Firstly this is a beautiful ship with lots of activities both day and night. The food is very good although we only went to the dining room on several occasions. Definitely the food being offered is of a more economical type on most nights although the quality is still top notch. We enjoyed the buffet food as well. The International Café in the Piazza is the place to go for a light breakfast or lunch as well as snacks throughout the day. If you are a lover of speciality coffees it would be in your interest to buy a coffee card which can also be used for the gelato bar. The gelato was unbelievably good. We did not access the pool so therefore cannot comment on same. We found there are lots of areas around the ship both inside and outside to chill out and read or relax. The staff were very friendly and always anxious to help out in any way possible. All in all we had a wonderful cruise and would recommend this ship to anyone.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BW

This cabin has a very obstructed view due to the fact that the largest tender boat sits right in front of the balcony so there is only a very small window of sight from a distance. Also out of 10 days there was probably someone in the tender boat 3 or 4 of those days but at least it was accessed from the deck below. Therefore we did not get as much use of our balcony as we may have done on other cruises. Definitely our cabin was smaller than those on other cruises. The cabins on older Princess ships had a dresser/cabinet in front of the bed whereas a flat screen television hangs from the wall and there is only a passageway in front of the bed. I feel like the shower is a tad larger but it is probably because there is a ledge of sorts in the shower. I continue not to be a fan of the cloth shower curtain and the very small size of the washroom. The storage space is exceptional.
