I read all the reviews about this cruise I could find, and found them extremely helpful. Am happy to contribute my thoughts. Will limit them to my experience. Embark/disembark a breeze. The ship was elegant and spotless. Cabin was great for low tier, and steward Isidro was fantastic. Only complaint was no cold water in shower or lab. Go figure. Sea was like glass the whole time. Had anytime dining and strongly recommend, never had to wait, but we always ate before 6:00. Food good, not great, but lots of variety. Ate at the buffet mostly to save time, and food again had lots of choices, not that good but not bad. Always save dessert for the Int. Cafe, which I cannot rave enough about. Everything there superb, inc shrimp salad, sandwiches and the pastry. Look for the butterscotch pie! Drinks-lousy, weak and way overpriced. Just stuck with beer, which was expensive enough. Use after 8:00 pm discounts-$2.99 for selected drinks. Warning--always check the receipt you sign, make sure your name is at the top. The system relies on the server manually entering the 4 digit number to your account. I had a large ticket charged that had my name but signed by someone else. Please check your account daily at the service desk. Just swipe your card and it will spit out a print of all activity. Don't wait till end of week or you won't remember! Princess Cays-beautiful beach, buffet ok, long lines, snorketing not good at all. St. Maarten-took See and Sea, cannot recommend, glass bottom boat and bus tour. I didn't care much for this place. St. Thomas-took tour to Magen's Bay, a beautiful beach, but not good snorkeling. Turk-great snorkel at end of dock, just go to the right of the dock, and is fantastic! Be careful, rocks on shoreline hard to walk on, easy to bust your butt. Aqua socks or fins a must. Margaritawille-packed and grossly expensive. Someone wrote a glowing review of a place called Jack's Shack, about 1/4 mile down the beach on the left. Forget it-no shade, very small,nothing going on, a big nothing. Overall, a great cruise and Princess won me over. Staff courteous. Entertainment, with exception of Steve Moris, was awful, but I knew this and don't care. I like quiet places to have a drink, which could be difficult to find. For this, try Adagio, which is overlooked. Hit pub lunch at Wheelhouse on at sea days, fantastic! HAPPY CRUISING, HOPE THIS HELPS!!
