We chose this cruise to see various ports of Asia. This was my 9th time on Princess and my wife's 10th. We like Princess because we know how we will be treated, what to expect, and have always anticipated a clean ship, and friendly staff. Entertainment this trip was IMO sub par. The shows were extremely loud and it was difficult to understand what the production crew was attempting to sing. It might have been better without microphones. The orchestra was REALLY neat to listen to. We would have gone every night to the theater if it was just them. We had anytime dinning that worked out very well. We also signed up for the Lotus Spa Thermal suite. The only downside was the four stone beds were never working and always cold. Our shore excursions were a lot of fun including the elephant trek and riding on top of an elephant. I would go on this ship again.
