This was my ninth cruise with Princess. It is still a good value ,although, service is not the same as it was on the earlier cruises.The main dining room food was very good. The wait time between courses is a little long. Also, bar service is extremely slow. It take much too long to get a drink if you are not at bar.the international cafe was excellent service as well as good food. The buffet is very large, sometimes hard to navigate.Rooms are adequate size but balcony was tiny. Room steward was excellent. In the Princess theater, you must get in there about 45 minutes before show to get a seat.we did not go on excursions as we have seen most of these islands. The embarkation process was painless and went very well, thanks to the Medallion Class we now have,Disembarkation went well also since we walk off with our luggage. If you do not want a lot of water sports or youth activities, then Princess Cruises is a good bargain.
