Date of Trip: February 13, 1999
Itinerary: Caribbean - Southern
The cruise was very laid back and quite. Other Princess cruises we
have been on were much more up beat. We never saw the cruise director on
deck or about the ship. There was no excitement anywhere. Very hard time
trying to get a drink on deck. Servers would walk by and not ask if we
wanted any thing, when someone did stop it would talk 20 min. to a half hour
to get your drink. You would see the server walking around the other side of
the ship without your drink. They would put in your order and then go get
more orders before you get yours There were not enough workers on the ship,
it was as if they cut back their staff..Princess has made to many cut backs
and it SHOWS EVERYWHERE on the ship. After 8 cruises with Princess I don't
think I will cruise with them again. They are slipping real hard and fast.
What a disappointment !!!
People would get up early and save deck lounges, they would
put towels and books on them and then go off the ship and spend the day on
the island. Casino is a nice room, but, forget about getting anything out of
the slot machines, they are the worst I have ever played on. They never pay
off. Jammer's lounge was nice until all the the young kids came in every
night. Kids from age 12 to 17 years old. No one from the cruise line or the
drink servers asked them to leave so all the adults left and complained at
the pursers desk but nothing was done.
Food was excellent. The dinning room was noisey. They used
to be a threesome that would walk around and play music, another cut back on
Princess. Kids were stealing bottles of wine from the waiters service areas.
These kids were all sitting together and were loud and uncontrolled. They
should have been sitting with their parents, Princess cruises should not
have let them sit alone !!!!!
Cabins are small and not enough closet space. A large person can not
fit in the shower or bathroom and have room to turn around.
Show was very good.
Typical Caribbean ports. Shopping and nice beaches.
Mostly Americans ranging from 20 to 60.
