I have been on a few princess cruises but this is my first one in over 10 years and it was not at all the quality I remember. I am 41, in the travel industry and have been on over 20 cruises on different lines so I can say that this was the worst cruise I have been on. It started out great with embarkation going less than 20 minutes. Once on the ship we went to grab some food at the buffet which was pretty good.
The design of the buffet area was set up a little different to where you had hallways you could go down then have to walk further down to the next one so if you forgot something you had to go all the way back. It was never crowded so maybe that is why they designed it that way. After lunch we went to our room and then explored the ship.
Our room was a balcony with an obstructed view. When I say obstructed I mean you can't see anything unless you are on your tiptoes or if you angled yourself a certain way. All you could see was the tinder boat. The room was average size but it was not a good set up. It was just me and a friend so we separated the beds and there was no space since the cabinets were on each side of the balcony so you could not walk around the room unless you went sideways. The closet was on the other side of the wall where my bed was once and once the ship started rocking the hangers in the closet banged against the wall and kept me up. I will say the closet and bathroom where great size though. The other thing we did not realize is our room E310 was right above the Club 6 nightclub and you could not hear the music until you laid down on your bed then you could. The vibration was also really annoying and it was difficult to sleep until after the club closed which was around 2-2:30.
