Having sailed with Princess on four previous cruises, we were looking forward to this cruise with much anticipation.

Dining: This met our expectations... our waiters were terrific and the service was as good if not better than many fine restaurants. The food was generally very good but aside from the main entrees, the rest of the selections were not as remarkable as I remember them from years past, they were generally the same from day to day.

Room: Clean, well attended, completely met our expectations. We had a balcony room, we always get a balcony room. Well, just our luck... two balcony's over from us was a room with four kids. Princess swears they don't put kids alone in a balcony room but they did this time. These underage kids were outrageously drunk on that balcony most all the time... swearing cursing and threatening others around them. They had a boom box turned up so loud we could hear it in the shower. They played it until late at night - every night. They were also smoking pot quite often... since we were downwind, we had to endure it every day if we wanted to enjoy our own balcony. Several neighboring cabins were outraged and demanded to be "moved" to other rooms and they were; we tried but there were no more rooms. Several times they had my wife in tears as they threatened her and called her names after she asked them to turn their boom box down at midnight. What is so astounding and astonishing is that officials on the boat took absolutely no action despite our direct complaints and the many complaints that dozens of guests had with this outright illegal and rude behavior. I'm not sure why Princess turned their back on this - it literally ruined our vacation despite all the good points. Read more
