before I went on this cruise I read some of the reviews and was confused. this was our sixth cruise with princess and is our favorite cruise line. this ship is beautiful!!!! the buffet is unbelievable!!!!! the variety of food day to day is amazing!!!! the staff was great. our room steward did a great job we had dinner in the symphony dining room the menu was great!!!! prime rib, surf and turf, lobster tails, ect!!!!!!! the wait staff nelson and alajandro were awesome!!!!!! all I can say is this was a great cruise and I highly recommend it. the balcony rooms are a little tighter than some of the older princess ships but its good for 2 people. the only!!!!! thing they need to do is on sea days they need more steel drum or Caribbean music by the pool when people are drinking and are in the Caribbean we need more Caribbean music by the pool not movies
