Our opinion is that Princess has been sliding downhill since being purchased by Carnival. The dinner menu is small with fewer choices and the food is getting worse. All but one meal that we had was overcooked and tough. It takes a lot to make corn on the cob tuff to chew. The good thing about Princess is they have the Medallion Services to simplify your cruise. For those that are saying we don't know about cruising. This was out 9th Princess cruise and our 19th overall cruise. As always the crew is superb and very helpful. They do not push the specialty restaurants like other cruise lines do unless the food is doing that for them. The buffet has been redesigned over the years and is now two buffets separated by a wall causing a lot of pushing and bumping into by guest trying to get their food. The Medallion has streamlined the boarding and deboarding process.
