The End of “Boring” Princess Cruises? | Star Princess Review

Creator's Key Takeaways
This is a ship that really turned the tide for me, let's say, because Princess before this was kind of starting to feel a little pedestrian to be honest. A little boring and stale.
The experience costs extra, but it comes with a bottle of table wine.
This level is also home to the complimentary tween and teens clubs, including Neon Grove for kids ages 8 to 12 who want a place to hang out and play table and video games.
We only wish the Wheelhouse Bar was more traditionally nautical still, as it's a bit too modernized now on Star Princess and smack dab against a display of art auction pieces at that.
