I love Princess Cruises, I really do, but there is always room for improvement. I think that rather than saying how beautiful the ship was and how appetizing the food was (which both are true) that I should maybe critique areas that could use improvement.
(1) the mattresses are in dire need of being replaced. The have been sat on, and the edges are sagging and give the feeling that you will tumble off the edges.
(2) we had Noro-virus to rear it ugly face while on board. This caused us to rethink if being in public places and partaking of those activities were worth acquiring the Noro- virus. We elected to sit on our balcony on sea days and enjoy the sea life that we were able to spot. We saw porpoises and lots of whales while sitting on our balcony. We read novels that I had carried ( all the donated books were disposed in order to eliminate one way of spreading the Noro.
Great room with sagging worn out mattresses.
Could smell cigarette smoke on balcony every day. Reported it. Nothing solved in reporting violation which carries $250 fine.
Feel that everyone's towels should be laundered every day to help curb Noro virus.
Bed linens not changed during first 8 days. I had an old spot on mine and it was there for 8 traight days.
Enjoyed the room. It was very quiet.
