We decided to try Princess Cruises for our first post-COVID cruise. We have been on 26 other cruises, all but one on Royal Caribbean or Celebrity. We purchased as a two week Caribbean cruise but it was also sold as 2 one week cruises. We chose a mini suite with the Princess Plus package. Here are a few of the issues we had:
