We chose this cruise for the beautiful destinations. We were not disappointed in that choice at all. Our cruise was overall great because of the excursions and people we met on this nearly month long cruise to the South Pacific! This ship however did have some disappointing details. Mainly the food quality in the main dining and buffet, and the entertainment. Both did not seem to be up to the level we have come to expect when cruising. The service was excellent as always and the specialty dining was great! There were a couple of shows in the theater that were very good but overall the performances were not professional appearing as have been on other cruises. I have always thought of the evening entertainment to be similar to Vegas type shows, but not on this cruise. I was not entertained by the entertainment! I would recommend this cruise because the itinerary was spectacular! I would hope that Princess Cruise lines hears the passengers (which I heard many people on the ship with similar thoughts) and looks at what can be done to bring back the “cruising experience” expected.
