It was an exciting.

July

Pros: Staterooms are clean and fresh smelling.

Cons: Wi-Fi bit expensive

Recommended: Yes

All the crews were very kind, helpful and happy in all dining areas. But Putu Dedi Setiawan, our stateroom keeper and Made Wastiana from the formal Dining (5th floor) made our dining experience a memorable and enjoyable one. Cheers to both of them and wish all the best specially the up coming father Tutu and his wife..keep up the good work..

World Cruise 2024

April

Pros: Great embarkation process, destination information, CREW, and activities

Cons: Small ship with limited space for food and entertainment venues

Recommended: Yes

The CREW was consistently pleasant, helpful, and a joy to be around. Princess does a GREAT job of organizing the movement of people. Getting on-board took less than 15 minutes, to sign in, get my medalion, and be in my cabin. Shore tours are also well organized and available for people with handicaps. Presentations (Called "Enrichment") are TERRIFIC, if often a bit early for late sleepers. They cover any amount of subjects including shore destinations, history of the region being cruised, general information about bunches of things (aviation, art, British Royalty, Rock & Roll, photography, etc.). The ship is small and that doesn't allow for numerous food venues. Especially lacking is the International Cafe, which is so popular on other Princess ships. The theater is small and access is limited to two aisles, meaning that the bulk of guests must squeeze through in front of other people to get to seats.

Octoberfest

October

Pros: Captain did a great job of keeping the ship out of the stormy weather. We were thrilled with the extra effort by the Excursions staff to secure a trip to Normandy

Cons: the weather couldn't be helped, but it was rainy and unable to visit every port.

Recommended: Yes

Special kudos to the excursion staff that enabled us to go on the Normandy trip when our Viator trip was canceled that morning. They made special phone calls, and even arranged for a van ride to catch us up with the departed bus. The Normandy excursion was the highlight of the whole cruise, and the luncheon was a delicious surprise.

October

Pros: Great service, food quality was good.

Cons: Too many ports in 10 days.

Need more time in Oslo, Norway and Brugge, Belgium. By far, everyone agreed both of these ports were the #1 and 2 best stops.
