Creator's Key Takeaways

this has been an amazing Cruise not our favorite certainly not our least favorite there's been highs and lows and good and bad but overall we've had a great time

we have mixed feelings on our first Princess cruise experience

service was certainly lacking I didn't get part of my dinner and by the time they realized it it was too late

the junior chef at sea experience was great it was a lot of fun
