Having booked this holiday sometime ago (especially based on recommendation) I must say I was disappointed with the Princess line in several areas. Before departure I did 'run' through various reviews which weren't all that glowing, and that being said I thought I'd make my own mind up.

My main worry was the norvovirus which according to reviews was causing difficulties for many passengers on board. Prior to departure I actually rang Princess lines to check the situation (especially as having recovered from serious illness was left with a low immune system..). Princess denied any problems. This is and was not the case as I found out once aboard. Indeed they had been having problems throughout May and were still having them when we were on board, with some passengers being confined to their cabins.

The ship itself (although now in need of refurbishment being 12 years old) WAS NOT TOO BAD.. ALTHOUGH SOME AREAS DID LOOK VERY TIRED.
