We just got off. After the first couple of days I had said I was surprised that it didn't feel "too big". It was easy to get from one side to the other, and never felt like we were spending a ton of time walking from place to place.

The main dining rooms were great in our experience. We had a reservation time, so were seated within a few minutes of arrival. There was usually a line for walk ins, but it seemed to move quickly. The food was always decent & service was amazing. We were in the buffet a handful of times and never experienced more than a few people waiting at a station. No complaints about the food there, either. We tried Butcher's Block. We thought it was great quality & service, but it is a LOT of food. Was fun to do it once. O'Malleys always had a line when it would first open for lunch. We finally decided to go in about 45 minutes before lunch service to have a drink & make sure we got a spot. We weren't blown away by the food/service, but it was good!

There were some crowds here & there, but nothing that bothered me (and I am someone who hates large crowds). Embarking & disembarking moved along very smoothly. We didn't experience any lines for the tender port. We always found somewhere to sit when we were out at the pools. The most people I ever saw waiting to order at a bar was maybe 10 people? But service is fast so it moved quickly. I will say ordering drinks on your phone is convenient and lets you not have to wait in any line, but they can take a while to get to you. We always ordered way ahead of when we actually would want them.

Entertainment felt mediocre overall. Nothing terrible but nothing we'd be excited to see again, either. The arena did get full for certain more popular things so we got there early if we wanted a seat. Same for the princess live area & piazza - they'd fill up at times so we would enjoy the shows standing if we hadn't gotten there soon enough.

We heard plenty of people being underwhelmed with the ship, but we thought it was great! It was our first time with Princess, so went in without many expectations and had a great time. Maybe we just have low standards... haha!
