We had been dedicated to the Princess Cruise line after a great experience with them. This 10-day, 3-port cruise was expected to be more of that same great experience. However, it was NOT!
The food was horrible, the crew was in a bad mood/attitude and it showed. It was bad enough that we are probably going to cancel the cruise that we already had booked for 2020.
Princess is no longer worthy of any attention.
Very small and the balcony was very small too (not much depth).
This is as the port of embarkation. We did use a Princess transfer from the airport to the ship. This was very nice, as our luggage was loaded at the airport and was quickly moved to our stateroom from the bus.
We rented a car so that we could see all of the island. We really enjoyed the French side. The beaches and local food of Grand Case was fabulous!
We rented a car so that we could explore the whole island. The beaches are Choice!
As for local cuisine, make sure to visit: Pika’s Corner. Wonderful food and service. It was in Noord.
