This is our 4th Princess cruise, so I'm comparing this to our previous Princess cruises>
Accomodations: Ship itself is in great condition. We loved our AB class mini-suite. Room was very clean. Lowell De Leon was our room steward, and he was awesome! He was always around, but not intrusive at all. He was very friendly, attentive & hardworking. Our cabin was towards the back & was in a great location. We never heard any noise!
Food: We were very disappointed with our food on this cruise. It was mediocre at best. We also heard this sentiment from many others on this cruise. I think the only night my entree' was actually any good was the lobster night. I ordered fish a couple of times, and both times it was rubbery. My "filet" was about 1/2 inch thick & rubbery...but my husband's was good...so no consistency there. I know they are cooking for 3,000 ppl, but I've always had good food in the past on our Princess cruises. We grew tired of the mediocre food, so tried the Crown Grill one night. My filet was great. Hubby's porterhouse was terrible. The buffet is not my thing, but we were forced to eat there for breakfast & lunch a few times since they no longer have dining room open on port days. I had a hard time finding anything to eat. I usually just ate dessert!
