Food wasn't great, poor variety and quality. Have been on many Princess cruises and this was the worst for food.
The itinerary included too many industrial Ports, with limited access to the local area.
Main theatre entertainment was poor, with mind readers, jugglers, sand dancers, magicians. Really, thought we'd gladly left all that behind in the 1970's & 80's. To be fair, individual entertainment around the ship was often very good.
