Our family of four (kids ages 8 and 7) was as impressed with Princess as ever. This was our 7th cruise with the line. The ship was condition was excellent, given its age with new Medallion Class technology having debuted. Our favorite features are the fast internet speed, your cabin door automatically unlocking when you approach and being able to order a drink without having to move from your seat.

The food, service, embarkation, debarkation, tender operation and kids club were all superior. The one area that needs attention, in my opinion, is entertainment. We have been watching the same production shows for the last 4 years. We were also surprised to be asked for our passports after boarding. An explanation letter about Irish law would have been appropriate as this is not common practice on cruises we have been on.

Though we cruise often on many cruise lines, Princess is our favorite. We were so impressed by the Crown that we put down a deposit on a future cruise before leaving the ship.
