Pati

Thanks just booked a last minute alaska cruise with the drop and sail! Will be on golden in August! Cant wait.

We were on the crowns nye cruise. One of the loveliest crews we have encountered. The beds were made ok by asking for an egg crate mattress cover to be added on bed. Loved the crown grill and salty dog pub.. esp the short rib potine and the giant stacked hamburger with just about everything on it! Yum. Had a bad experience in sabatinis. Seemed really disorganized and short staffed. Took about sitting for 20 mins with no one even acknowledging us. Had to go to front stand and ask could we please have a waiter! Service was just plain awful. 45 mins to get an appetizer. Drinks never refilled etc. Food was good though..loved the 4 sea days. Great ports. Loved the long days in Curacao and Aruba. The crown may be a little older but still a great time!

Just got back from crown yesterday. We boRded about noon and no lines anywhere at all! Great time, great staff?

E just got off the Caribbean princess also. Will agree we didn't see the constant painting etc. did see lots of cleaning. We were thinking that due to the boat getting an update soon, the painting may not be a priority. Our romm inside was perfect. Just the balcony looked weathered. We hadn't sailed in a year or more and did notice little things that seemed lessened. Salad bar no longer had cucumbers, bacon bits, peas, shredded cheddar, etc. the things were good that they had but less of a selection. We enjoyed breakfast and lunches in the horizon, if not we caught a piece of pizza, hamburger or the smokehouse at night by the hamburgers. Didn't have trouble using our wake up system, worked each time we set it. Had a great room steward and our waiters in anytime dining were fine. We'd see them working horizon court the next day at lunch etc and they always made sure they said hi if they saw us. Had no trouble getting beverages anywhere. Laundry service fine. Didn't go to any shows so can't comment on that. Seemed as though no one minded missing Costa maya when Cozumel was added. Had a great day there. Didn't even try going ashore in Roatan, as the tender system was really slow. Like 2 in the aft noon you could finally go out without ticket. Having to be back by 5, thought ummm no....daughter spent 2 hours in line trying to get back in tender line. Belize was fine. Tenders were local so moved quickly. Didn't really notice unfriendly staff with any issues we had. All in all we had a great time, prefer the princess product and I will be elite after next cruise!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 any cruise for me is a great time. I just love to ride and read and relax and is just what I did. The rest of my family felt the same. Didn't care for the the new Curtis stone menu items that much so didn't try more than one. One thing I did notice on this cruise which surprised us was the number of people, mostly young, in short shorts and flip flops at dinner. Or tiny jumpsuits with short short bottoms and deep deep cut down in front. Underwear out everywhere!! There was no attempt to enforce any dining wear requirements. It was just odd. But would I go back next week? Yup!!

Beautiful day on Caribbean princess. Winds have picked up this aft but no rain. Hoping all goes well for Roatan tomorrow ! If not will still have a great day!!!!😎😎😎😎😎

Captain Nick was able to secure us a spot on Friday in Cozumel. Tomorrow will be a sea day instead of Costa maya.😎

Due to leaving Houston late, Costa maya scrapped for tomorrow but.....yay..Cozumel added on New Year's Day. Seas rolling pretty good all day but seems to be settling down now! Fun day so far!!

I love the balsalmic dressing also. Talked to head waiter in dining room. He said the thickener is Dijon mustard, with olive oil, balsalmic vinegar, salt pepper.
