Have been on PG three times. Last one, this year after a 9 year hiatus. The ship just arrived back from drydock so was all refurbished. BUT- we were highly disappointed with the quality of the food. In the past, food was gourmet quality. This time was really low quality. We both felt the same way. Even the presentation was not very appetizing. 3 months prior, we were on a Celebrity ship at one third of the price and the food was better...

Entertainment was good with the exception of two so called sopranos who made chalkboards sound better... laundry service-great. Cruise director- great at low visibility, disappointment, after previous exposure to Jim Cannon and Michael Shapiro. We now feel that this ship is a waste of money. There are other ways to see magnificent FP. Another disappointment was FP. Things have gone downhill in the past nine years. Weather change has affected the reefs, thus, lot less sea life. The economy has worsened thus, no more flower crowns on most heads, and most of the ones you see are artificial flowers...you cannot go back home...
