This cruise was not what I expected. First of all we had booked a mini suite because of the amount of sea days, so thought we would pay the extra, but really it was just an extra sofa, and because of that they call it a suite.

We are then charged the extra for gratuities for a suite (only a small amount), I might add, but we were informed we could have breakfast in Sabatinis, if we wished, but we were refused entry because they said that standard of suite did not allow us entry. Princess get it sorted if you sell this as a mini suite and charge accordingly, it should give you access to the places you state.

The entertainment on board was average, and the theatre is too small for a ship of this size, hence they have to put on 3 shows per night. On the final 3 evenings we missed all the shows the Crew show in the theatre which I understand was full at about 9.45pm, even though the show was at 10.15pm, it was 10pm by the time we finished dinner. The marriage game show held in the explorers lounge, again no seats available by 10pm, and the final evening the talent show held in Club Fusion, not a seat to be had by 10pm.

Cabin Review

Mini suite not quite what you would expect. A lot of vibration around our cabin maybe because it was very close to the back of the ship.
