As many others I chose this cruise to up my status. Many blue cards onboard, just to taste cruising? No one mentioned the murder, I searched up the cabin number out of curiosity, it was on a different deck and side of the ship from my cabin. Lines were everything on this cruise. People trying to maximize their less than 24 hour experience. Food quality was par for Princess. Lines, lines, lines. Great scenery smooth and slow cruise. Staff seemed very busy. People all over the decks, watching the big screens, lounges with entertainment, all like a real multi day/ nigt cruise. Decor of the ship was very similar to that of the Grand, branding, make them look alike. Staff were delt a tough assignment, one day and everyone wants everything.other than the lines the only negative Imhave was the corn, overcooked. Princess needs to be more clear on what the softdrink package includes. Deceptive marketing but what do you want for $8.05?
Nice balcony cabin, rusty pipes outside, something had been repaired that the steward needed to check on. Cooling system worked. Shower adequate. Room size is nice. For one day cruise great. Loved the scenery.
Bus ride to port was reasonable at $17 booked with Princess
