Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Told to try another dining room. They were turning multiples away all evening every evening.
  2. I was on this cruise as well, and have a new “least favorite cruise” now. Crown Grill quality has declined, luckily we were on dessert when the power went out. I also had no information in my stateroom regarding EZ check, so went to guest services to have that completed. Roatan was ludicrous, in hindsight I should have canceled my excursion but really wanted to do it, so I did. Saggy spots in floors inside and bulging spots on floors by pools were concerning. Couple of bathroom fixture issues in the stateroom bathroom. Didn’t affect usability but just tacky. Had one evening where toilet was inop, guessing maybe that was due to the pipe breakage in the stateroom you mentioned. Minor inconvenience as it was back in order when we returned to stateroom later in the evening. Never ate in MDR. Couldn’t get a reservation for any night for private table until 8 or later. I don’t eat that late. Ordered pizza on the app to be delivered to stateroom, took 80 minutes, and was room temp. Not good flavor either. Mocha drinks were “off” for the entirety of the trip, just something missing and I noticed there were no more shakers of cinnamon nutmeg or chocolate powder to spruce them up. Ordering drinks through the app was hit or miss. I am not sure an extensive dry dock or wet dock can bring this old gal back to her former glory. Princess will not (imo) invest the time and money needed, I suspect she will leave the fleet in the next couple of years.
  3. I wish they would have left the old set up alone. They removed a lot of loungers to install the higher dollar cabanas and I just do not think the money they command equals what the loungers alone did.
  4. I booked a complete week on Caribbean Princess and was not feeling well one day so I stayed in my stateroom. I was charged for that day.
  5. On the Crown, pre Covid, the four of us had an absolutely fabulous meal at Sabatinis. The wait staff were wonderful and the food was delicious! On the Caribbean last July, we had our first visit to the “Trattoria”. The Calamari were so bad, we sent them back. The breading was non existent they were overcooked and greasy. The waiter actually tried to argue about the dish, but another was made for us. It wasn’t much better, so we pushed it to the side. I had the Pappardelle alla Bolognese which was tasty, but not quite like the restaurant version. The Parmigiana di Melanzane was the best part of my meal. The experience of the Trattoria vs the Restaurant….for us….was night and day. We canceled the rest of our reservations and enjoyed the MDR or buffet. Hoping this trip in June will afford us a better experience. YMMV.
  6. I’m a very picky eater, so my most memorable have to be the chilled fruit soups on Princess. I’ve tried to replicate them to no avail. I’m sailing in June, and will be putting in a request for some advice on how they are made.
  7. Keep in mind--unless you have the beverage package, you will pay sales tax on all drinks until in international waters.
