Met with our expectations and exceeded at times. Well done Sapphire Princess - Captain and Crew. The ship is well maintained. The Princess brand is represented well on this ship. Our back to back trip of 15 days Singapore to Singapore had great ports and the Onshore Excursions Princess provided were excellent quality, value and very efficiently administered.

Our mini-suite met our expectations D232, however having had a mini-suite on the Diamond Princess at the rear of Emerald deck I really missed having a cover over the balcony and felt very exposed and not able to use the balcony as I like given I prefer not to have direct sunlight when sitting. As much as I love a mini-suite I’d probably opt for an upper deck balcony next time that does have a cover across the balcony if mini-suites on Deck E are unavailable. So if you don’t like the full sun - this could be a consideration when booking your cabin.

I had the opportunity to be invited to the 40 most travelled passengers luncheon Princess holds with its Captain and Officers and that was a real treat and perk for my loyalty with the cruise line, well done to Captains Circle marketing, it works, I certainly want to travel Princess again.
