The wife and I have done many cruises with Princess and are Elite members in their rewards program. We chose this cruise for several reasons, one of which was to introduce my elderly in law's to the wonderful world of cruising, and also to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary.
We knew of the issues that Princess was having with the ship and didn't mind to much about the itinerary changes, but the issues seemed to get worse what with the outbreak of the virus, and all. We all fly from Brisbane for the cruise with much excitement, boarding was delayed to facilitate a good clean and sanitation, that also was fine, boarding went well and smoothly, less then 20 minutes.
But thats where the good side of things ended.
