I Had a great time on the cruise. The only disappointing thing was that ports are a long way from most of the cities which is out of Princess control. Sadly I think many people who write reviews expect 5 star facilities for a three star fare. Yes the ship is one of the older ones and it is going to P And O next year but there was constant manitnenance being done. Toilet issues are caused by people NOT following guideliens but what cannot be put down the toilets which inconveniences many people. I enjoyed all the many food options on board. Sadly there were MANY selfish people who think it is OK to reserve deck chairs which is very irritating including one couple who reserved 4 chairs two on each side of the ship. Also MANY people though it was their right to hog window seats in the Horizon court so they could read books etc. The meals on board were very good. The spa was ok but overpriced and to add insult I was charged more than I was quoted ( even with the expected15% gratuity). Shore tours were ok but expensive for what was offered. Benoa was a disaster with people waiting 1.5 hours for a tender to return to ship.

Embarkation and disembarkation were very calm and smooth.

Price of duty free alcohol on board is same or more than local bottle shops. Read more
