The cruise was ok. a little side movement during the sailing. Food was good with Buffets. Drinks with meals were watery/full of ice and not good. the Mini Suite costing us $10064 dollars was waste of time. it is better to book a cheaper Balcony stateroom.
Jeju Island tour was very badly managed. Departure was delayed by about 80 minutes by ships crew The bus ride to the volcano mount and Women pearl divers was not good at all. Were not able to walk up the mountain or see diving women because of the time constraint. The next was typical thatched roof visit to the Village. Only got two minutes to see the whole village. So we ended up staying in the bus with others. A five hour bus tour was without any meal or drink stop. Just saw the mountain and the houses of the Women divers. The whole trip was wasted. Paid the ships cruise desk $100 USD each and the people on the tour were very unhappy. the bus got bank to the ship just 30 minutes before sailing.
The tour guide was really bad and kept talking non stop for 5 hours repeating same things about 10 times. She was telling us about her childhood growing and how they used to use their human waste for farm fertiliser mixed with pigs waste. I had to close my ears to get rid of her voice. Fine dining was ok but the entertainment offered was below standard except for the Lady singer. it was a Cherry blossom cruise but did not stop at any location to enjoy and photograph the flowering trees. Very disappointed with the Cruise by Princess cruises.
Leaving the ship was ok as all the bags had been arranged by colour tags and Port porters were very good and free.
