I confess to not being blindly dedicated to the Princess brand that so many of the elites we met on this cruise were. It should be obvious to all that while some elements of this ship are new and different like princess live and the expanded buffet while others are just one-time cute (sea walk, piazza and their light show). Other choices are just downright annoying or if ur educated about them eliminators of the ship from future consideration.
Good things
1. Fantastic itinerary - Ports were all fantastic and we only stopped in dumps at a couple of ports (Gothenburg and warnemunde come to mind). But the ship is too big for several of the ports and there was little or no planning for a ship of over 3500 people.
Not real sure why marina balconies are cheaper than caribe or Baja but stay away from midship unless ur very patient
