10 day cruise to Princess Cay, St. Thomas, Dominica, Grenada, and Aruba. Great itinerary and weather was calm. Price was cheap for a Christmas cruise. Tons of kids on board exacerbated by Princess letting kids as young as 7 sign themselves in and out of the childrens program. Food in the Concerto Dining Room was so-so. Buffet was good to fair. Pizza excellent as was cafe on 5th floor. While quality might be not what you are used to - there was plenty of food.

Entertainment middling to poor. A lot of people on board with colds and flu - no wonder since buffet users mainly ignore the washing stations at the entrances and were not reminded by staff. Kids touching everything did not help the situation. Princess cleanliness only fair - rarely saw anyone cleaning up common areas.

Embarking and disembarking was a breeze. Obviously this ship was designed to pack in as many people as possible but it did not seem overly crowded. No promenade deck and a tiny walking oval instead. Fitness room always crowded.
