| wendy james said: this was the first cruise for my hubby and myself we are both in our 40's so we did not know what to expect,we did not know what sort of age group would be there but it was a mixture.
we could'nt beleive the size of the ship when we seen it first, it is overwhelming a stunning looking cruise ship amazing inside felt like a big resort with shops and casino it was extra special because it was decorated for christmas, we boarded in miami after an over night stay in the miami intercontanintal which was also fab. our cruise was for 10 nights first stop antigua then st lucia,st kitts,barbados,st thomas then last stop princess cays. If you like jewellery you won't be disappointed best place to by st thomas.
the staff on board where lovely all nationality's, so friendly nothing was to much trouble,the first night on the ship our cabin steward knocked to ask if we wanted bath robes, no extra charge, the room we had was on baja deck, which was a high floor,it had a fridge which was handy to keep cold drinks in with ice bucket filled every day,we had a balcony which did cost a bit more but if you like to sit out with a drink it's ideal, we had breakfast on the balcony most mornings, no extra charge you order what you want the night before and the time you want it delivered and hang order outside the cabin door,
we decided on anytime dining which i thought was great as you are not tied to any time schedules and the restraunts where excellent best food i have ever tasted, you are sure to put on at least half a stone, there are a couple of special places to eat, we only booked to eat in the crown grill for our anniversary, extra charge of $25 well worth it,they even brought us a little cake with happy anniversary on it and three members of staff sang to us, we had balloons outside our cabin also.
the drinks are not included on the ship you are given cards for any charges you need to pay for and this is billed to your room which you can pay at the end off the holiday,the ship is a money free inviroment prices are not expensive a cocktail was about £3, there was a deal on board for soft drinks as much as you can drink the whole trip for £20 good deal as it is £1 a drink. If you like a drink with your dinner you can buy a bottle of wine and if you do not drink it all they will keep it for you until your next meal you just tell them you have wine and they fetch it for you.
so many things to on board not enough time to do it all, there was art auctions,dance classes,bingo, games by the pool on the days at sea,library,films on the outside cinema day and night, gym, spa loads of others, entertainment was great either shows in the theatre very professional, dancing with like caberet some audience participation, live bands either caribbean music,rock, brass a very big assortment also a disco, something to suit everybody.
just one note of caution they will automatically add tips to your account which is about 100 dollars each unless you go to reception and tell them you would like to pay tips at your own discretion, you can sign a form then you will not be charged.
can't wait to go again think we will go for longer next time. best holiday we have ever had. |

The ship was amazing to look at and amazing on board. Very clean, food good with plenty of variety. Two restaurnts if you wanted to pay extra, Crown Grill. There was also an Italian one next to the cocktail bar - in this one if you had the starters you had about l5 difference dishes - a little of each one. Staff could not do enough for you. Plenty on board to keep you occupied if you did not want to leave the ship at each port.
Trips out were also mostly well planned and thought out.
Weather could have been better though, experienced some gale force winds which for me spoilt the cruise -had a May Day in the early hours of the morning and had to go and rescue five people of a small yacht - not the ships fault of course.
Hope to cruise again with Princess cruises. |
