Additional details
Our 5 day W. Caribbean (Cozumel, G. Cayman) cruise was terrific. We met wonderful people, with whom we hope to cruise again. The upgrade/upsell fairy did not come prior to our departure, but she greeted us at Embarkation with a wonderful Port side balcony suite. A few other huge perks included Sabatini’s for breakfast, fresh fruit basket, canapés at night, internet time and coveted laundry service… totally amazing!
Room steward: Shiv was the best we’ve had in 13 cruises. What a great guy- hugely informative, helpful without hovering, anticipatory and so pleasant-always a smile to greet you.
Food: Late seating was well run, served delicious food prepared perfectly. The Head Waiter allowed us the privilege of escargot every night. DR census was lower than normal; the British pub fish and chips this time were excellent! We taught the bartender to pour Black and Tans. The DR was so good we never visited Sabatini’s or the Crown Grill once this trip.
Cabin Review
Our Family Suite was an unplanned surprise, but a true treat. We were offered an upsell into the category after a family failed to embark. We were very pleased with how Princess handled our requests. The only mishap was the missing "bar set up", which never appeared. It was a minor disappointment, but the expectation of having one did factor into my decision not to buy the Alcohol Package. I reminded myself how many calories I didn't consume by "missing" the pre-dinner toddie!
