Grand Class sailing in the 90s. Some things have changed, while some haven't. (Video)

24 hour dining in the Horizon Court, with late-night waiter service!

Maybe they'll go back to that to help with social distancing since self serve buffets are a no-no right now.

CineGraphic;  nice promotional video.  Great memories.  Funny to see the clothes people wore back then.

Thanks for posting!  I thought it was funny to see the Grand back when it still had a Skywalkers lounge?

Thanks for sharing that blast from the past! 😊 Coincidentally I’m wearing my 2000 tank-top shirt with their “Grand Class Cruising” phrase like in the video.

 

Having previously only cruised on smaller 600-700 passenger ships I was very hesitant to sail on a behemoth 2600 passenger ship. Surprisingly our experience was that we felt less crowded & enjoyed the additional spaces, activities & our first balcony cabin.

 

The only person I recognized who is still working for Princess is Maître d’ Generoso Mazzone. We had the pleasure of sailing with Commodore Moulin several times however he’s retired.

 

I remember the days of a 24 hour buffet but not a menu with table service. We took their certified scuba excursion in St Thomas which has gone the way of the midnight buffet & other activities which have been replaced with other enjoyable activities.

Astro Flyer;  I too remember when they had the midnight buffet's;  people would set their alarms to wake up at 11:55;  didn't want to miss the buffet with all the chocolate fountains and ice carvings.
