I personally had multiple conversations w/senior crew regarding the dogs. I provided pictures and videos which included barking, eating food off dishes in the hallway, being off leash and running into my cabin. I saw the dogs up to and including debarkation. That picture was taken about 2/3 into the cruise.

I also notified both HAL Seattle and CCL Miami.

For anyone (not you, @House_Atreides) who may be wondering,  I don't consider any of those behaviors something a service animal would do.

I think that people need to report inappropriate behavior by the dog or person with the dog to the cruiseline so there can be documentation by the cruiseline to deny boarding the next time.  The ADA will not change soon but with documentation a business can have some legal documentation to prevent the same people from disrupting other people in the future. 

It does not matter what tasks a service dog provides if they cannot maintain a standard of good behavior.

Are the spa showers on Grand Princess larger than regular cabin showers?  Are there any handicapped showers with a seat in the spa?  If there are not seats in the shower is there a dressing area attached to the shower where there is a chair to sit?

Thanks,

Businesses are allowed to ask 2 questions. Is this a service dog? What task is the dog trained to perform to mitigate your disability? If the dog is toileting inappropriately or acting aggressive toward people or is not properly groomed a business may ask them to leave. They are not allowed to ask for any proof that the dog is a service dog and the dog does not have to were anything to identify it as a service dog. Notes from doctors and getting "certified" has nothing to do with having a service dog.
