Just got back last night from our cruise, and wanted to write this while still very fresh in my mind. The ship was way TOO crowded, if you don't like crowds don't go on this boat. This boat was sold out, the purser desk let everyone know that. There weren't enough deck chairs and fights would start, you weren't suppose to save them but people would get up at 7 am and do so. Other people would come along and move their stuff. Then you have your people that had no where to sit and just wandered looking. If you had a balcony you were lucky especially if it faced the sun that day you could lay out on the hard floor there.

Food---- if you like hospital food you will like the dinning rooms of this place. The food was poor and sometimes the service was rude. Anytime dinning is a joke..... show up early or be given a pager. The best food was at the Caribe buffet for dinner one night. The buffet area was always packed and you could never get a table for breakfast or lunch, we would bring it to our room many times.

Tendering- Let's just say don't expect to spend a lot of time at the place you are going if you have to tender. The tendering wait was 1 hour in the theater, watching CNN with no sound, so by the time we got to The Princess Cays it was 11:15 and the last tender was going back at 3, short trip. Nice island, but again not enough chairs, some people had to go back to the boat to lay out, There were chairs there that day on the ship. Food at the Cays was good and the lines moved. Snorkeling was good there too, for just being off the beach.
