We still found the entertainment lacking, but had fun in a couple of trivia games. There were a couple of things we walked out of midway.
Loveboat dream
Coconut mousse (the best part was the coconut cookie it is sitting on).
Pizza and a veal pasta at Alfredo's (ok but nothing special)
Sushi lunch (it was delicious but everyone got identical meals)
watermelon margarita
coconut mojito
Tokyo tea
This time, I went with realistic expectations - that the food would be similar to hotel conferences or wedding banquet food. With this perspective, Princess usually met or exceeded my expectations.
Vegetable tarts in Phyllo
Steve with Beef Wellington and roasted duck (the duck was dry)
Delicious channa masala
Watermelon feta salad
In general, the desserts were beautiful but lackluster.
We splurged for the Plus package and felt we got good enough value where we didn't feel the need to over indulge, just to get our money's worth, although we indulged more than we would have without the package. It was nice to have the WiFi and crew gratuities included.
The package included 2 "casual dining" meals
We could also each get 2 giant sundaes every day (we split 2 total across the entire cruise)
The package also included up to 15 alcoholic drinks (up to $15 each) per day. We averaged 3 each on port days and 4-6 on sea days.
Plus also included unlimited specialty coffees (several per day), bottles of flat and sparkling water, cans of soda, energy drinks, etc.
I also splurged on the Enclave thermal suite, which I really enjoyed. I would buy it again, provided there was a thermal pool, put probably only for me, since Steve didn't enjoy it as much.
We also really enjoyed having a balcony (the Majestic doesn't have Oceanview rooms), especially to watch sunrises and sunsets.
For this cruise, we enjoyed the balance between port and sea days (no more than 2 sea days in a row), which gave us a break to relax between port days.
