Pleasantly Surprised
January
Pros: Excellent staff, Great food, Awesome cruise director, No long lines or waits; Ship was stable in rough seas.
Cons: Hard to get elevators due to elevators skipping your floor; No lobster in main dining on formal night;
Recommended: Yes
Cruise Director Franko is very outgoing, personable, and keeps the FUN going! Alyssa, one on the dining managers, was very personable and remembered our names, even on shore at Princess Cays. Edy, our cabin steward was awesome! He took very good care of us and even unexpectedly decorated our room on the day of our anniversary! THANK YOU again Edy! We were very impressed and honored to witness the actions of the crew performing the rescue of the person who's boat had become disabled offshore. Great job crew!
