Have cruised with Princess many times and overall, the standard is consistent. This time room steward exceptional, captain and officers daily update and log, exceptional, food average in fact almost disappointing in some areas, captains club cocktail party very disappointing. Ship in good condition and easy to navigate if sailed Princess before. Shops average. Not much 5o buy if you've cruised before. International Cafe very good but extremely busy. Love Princess champagne waterfal but no officers this time - oh well!!. Buffett boring, and not well organized. Have had much better but still enough selection in buffett to fill an appetite.MDR in but not that impressed with food or menu. Embarkation easy and seamless. Love the fact that Princess gives a local map for each port. All over a reasonable cruise and Princess maintained its consistency - some excellent highlights and some disappointing as expected. My second favorite cruise line so will travel with Princess again
