We chose this cruise because of the ports and were very satisfied. We did not enjoy the My-Time dining and are hoping they will change back to early and late dining. We made our request for the same time each night, with the same people. The app erased all that on e we got on the ship. We had one couple each night and the rest changed each night and came at different times. We had to wait until the table was filled before we could order.

After the first week, our head waiter (which we loved) got sick. After day 6, i went to Guest Services. I asked if Princess did contact tracing for Covid or told people if there was a covid outbreak. I was told that was none of my business and that the CDC does not require them to do so. I felt passengers should be told and tested if they were compromised. We arrived back home on Saturday and on Sunday, my husband tested positive for Covid.

Cabin Review

Oceanview (obstructed view)

We were in R749. It was located at the back of the ship. If we turned left coming out of our stateroom, there was a door to the Terrace Pool. From there, we could go into the back of the Marketplace Buffet, which was very convenient. However, the room was noisy. The crew would put out the lounge chairs as early as 4:30 am and it would interrupt your sleep. The outside door slammed at all hours of the day and night. After a few days and difficult sleep, I checked the exit door on the other side and it was very quiet. I realized it was the bracket that needed adjustment. After talking to Guest Services, the door was fixed and my sleep was so much better!
