My friends and I were looking for a Mediterranean cruise but late to book so many were already sold out. I thought Princess was rated similar to RCCL and Celebrity ...oops, I was so wrong.

If the was one Improvement I'd. Suggest, it would be to stop nickel and diming people with stupid drink packages!!! How ridiculous to offer a water and coke package which only serviced INSIDE or Outside your cabins. It was, like much of the programs...petty. nightly entertainment limited to early only crowds. After 9pm, there's few options. The best experience was in the spa where I got 2 treatments that were e excellent. I did pass on the $60.00 manicure tho. Placing an automatic 15% gratuity was insulting.

Lastly, as most cruises, the food is bountiful however what's the purpose of having different dining rooms if you're serving the same menu in each? Where was the variety? Even the 2 additional restaurants you had to pay additional for had pretty much the same menu as the others.

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MB

Old and worn. Sofa broken, mattresses lopsided, balcony furniture was basic and. Missing a table. TV lacking options especially surprised no information on shore excursions, activities, guest billing accounts, or online casino activity.

Positively NO concierge benefits except for a few chocolate covered strawberrys on formal nights. No priority ck in or out, dining except for a small area in the same dining room as all others, same menus, no butler service, a joke.
