Entertainment

I am new to cruising. The cabin was lovely with a picture window to see out to sea, the bed was so comfortable, plenty of room to hang clothes ect. There was a kettle in the room but only provided tea, no milk and espresso cups. The food in the restaurants was of a high standard and served professionally but eating in the main buffet restaurant was a bit mad and some people are so greedy. I expected broadway shows as advertised on tv but found the entertainment to be rather poor. Disembarking for trips was quite quick considering how many people were on board. A lot of events that were happening on board were very much sales orientated, I felt I was on a floating retail outlet. However, I had a lovely holiday and met some lovely people on there

Another great cruise from Princess. Was very tiring as we had no sea day until day 4, and excursions were full on. Didn’t enjoy Kuala Lumpur, but the rest were amazing. A lot of the ports you needed to travel from, but were worth the journey.

Great staff, great ship. Hardly used the buffet restaurant. The food was literally luke warm if you were lucky. Some days it was cold. Also allowed customers to camp when not eating, either reading books, playing card, domino's ect. They should announce politely to vacate tables after eating to allow room for other's who have not eaten. Its just not big enough.
