Wow, first time on a cruise and I have to say, it was fantastic. Princess made everything really easy, walking up anywhere for a drink or food, they were able to identify you. All of the staff were fantastic and friendly. The food, accommodation, drinks and entertainment on board really did exceed my expectations. Thanks for a great trip team!
