Even though the ship is 19 years old it is still a very nice ship. You can see that Princess has done an excellent job in keeping the ship in good shape. Sure there are some rust spots on the outside but you have to remember this ship goes non stop in salt water. Food in the Botticelli DIning Room was excellent. The Pub Lunch at the Crown Grill is not to be missed. Horizon Buffet was very good for breakfast but just Ok for lunch. Alfredo's Pizza is some of the best I have tasted. Service in all areas was excellent. The only complaint I would have is the constant effort to get you to buy from stores while in Alaska. We were on the ship in March of this year for 10 days to Mexico and there was very little sales/stores being promoted. Entertainment for the most part was very good. Comedian Carlos Oscar is not to be missed

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin B2

We had a Premium Balcony which was nice for the extra balcony space to move around and having a full sized table where you could have breakfast in the morning. Our stateroom was kept spotless. The new beds are excellent.
