denmarks Posted January 5, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2020 There have thready been posts about what Princess no longer has. What could you do without that they currently have. They can drop all the extra paper inserted in the Patter. Much is a duplicate of what you already have. Drop the canapes delivered to Elites on formal nights. They are no good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why they do it, but it's more of a turn off for me than something I would ever show interest in. I have also learned to do without a soda package after the recent price increases. I bring my own on and just get ice and save a lot of money as a result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted January 5, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I could also do very well without all that wasted sales pitch paper. And the pastries tray at breakfast. Don't need that either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaFej Posted January 5, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The Amazon could be reforested within a few years if cruise lines didn't put so much wasted paper in cabins night after night. Hopefully, the waste will decrease as more lines go to onboard apps. Hopefully... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has gone down quite a bit. Princess pales in comparison to the sheer volume of junk mail through the USPS everyday. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseVA Posted January 5, 2020 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Ditto on the Sky last December, hardly any paper inserts. I don't think I've gotten a towel animal on a Princess ship, although, I'm sure it depends on the steward.

neverbeenhere Posted January 5, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Reading of the patter by anyone but myself. the bad veggie burger product the Parmesan powder from Detroit (bastion of cheeses, of course) I love the art auctions(please buy plenty of fine quality pieces) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've gotten a towel animal on a Princess ship, although, I'm sure it depends on the steward. We renewed our vows on the Sky and got two towel animals shaped like swans facing each other (so like a heart). That's the first time we've gotten one and a really nice surprise. I think paper inserts were less on this cruise as well, but still too many. Off topic, but the hijacking half the menu in the main dining room for upcharge items you could order from the Crown Grill was a HUGE turnoff for me. I could live without that. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted January 5, 2020 #12 Share Posted January 5, 2020 That huge pack of paper on shore excursions you get on day 1. I've already researched my tours and in the rare case I haven't, I'd go to the Shore Exc. desk for info or look online. Parading around in the dining room. I want my waiters to concentrate on waiting well, not singing and dancing. If I want that, I'll go to a show. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted January 5, 2020 #13 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Sadly they aren't going to cut back on things that generate sales, that is the purpose of them to begin with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted January 5, 2020 #14 Share Posted January 5, 2020 In 40 Princess cruises I have never seen a towel animal or dancing singing waiters (unless you count the baked Alaska parade on the last night). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted January 5, 2020 #18 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Stupid Baked Alaska Parade with the napkin waving. Art auctions and the attendant paper advertisements. EFFY and their paper advertisements. "Shopping Hosts". Port photo ops with stupid costumes - also the same thing outside the dining rooms. Pushy photographers in the dining room. HEARING SWEET CAROLINE EVER AGAIN!!! (There is no part of the song that actually includes, "so good, so good, so good". GAH!!!) 16 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinCouple2010 Posted January 5, 2020 #23 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I agree with the huge stack of shore excursion sheets in the room on day one. Also the advertising by the Spa, Effy, and Art auction everyday is way too much. Save some trees instead. 😃 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denmarks Posted January 5, 2020 Author #25 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Street tacos at the Salty Dog. As a Californian I know what tacos should taste like. These were dry and no toppings such as salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, etc were available. Captain's Party. What is the purpose other than getting dressed up for a free drink? I remember in the old days on Sitmar you received a crystal glass and a photo with the captain free. Cheap prizes at the cumulative trivia contest. You would think that after 9 days of contests the winning team should get a better prize than the daily trivias. Worthless free artwork when leaving the art auctions.
