This was my 5th time on this ship and 18th Cruise with Princess. Ship is recently out of dry dock. Still in great shape. They redid the buffet area and made it much smaller. They added a restaurant (Steamers) and (Planks Barbecue). Both are an additional charge for dinner only. This resulted in the buffet being cut WAY down in size. I didn't bring any formal wear on this cruise because the buffet always served what was being served in the dining room. This was not the case on this ship. When beef wellington was being served in the dining room we were served some type of chicken in the buffet. VERY disappointing. What was served was good but entree choices were very few. At lunch instead of carving they had some type of pizza. Shrimp were almost non existent. Never any shrimp cocktail. Staff, Stewards, Waiters and all service personnel were superb as always. Will not cruise on this ship again.
Average size cabin. Steward was excellent. Nice size balcony. No couch.
