Cruise was great, we only had 1352 passengers onboard with a max capacity of 3560 so the service was really great being that it's still the same number of staff. I heard there will be close to 2600 guests around the christmas and new years cruise that is great to hear.

I really liked the medallion app onboard so I could order food and drinks. The princess plus package is 100% worth it even if you're not a super big drinker. It's $40/day but it includes ~$15 in gratuities that you would pay anyways, so essentially you're paying $25/day per person to get drinks and wifi. The wifi was great and assortment of drinks and alcohol brands were more than great. Everything was opened and not reduced hours, the entertainment staff was great. The shows/comedians were pretty terrific.

The staff was seriously just amazing on this ship. I'm sure service can hinder slightly with more guests on board, but we were well pampered and I would highly suggest booking a trip ASAP. There were great rates through VacationsToGo (my preferred travel agency, ask for Frederick!). It's so nice to go cruising.
