We're Platinum members; this was our 9th cruise on Princess; 27th cruise overall. On the positive side we saw lots of whales and had good tours. Food was good, Zumba classes were good; beds and couches in the minisuite were comfortable. And then there's the rest.
Cruise started badly as we had confirmed 6 PM fixed dining; at Check-in we got 5:30 dining! We were told there was only 5:30 and 8 pm confirmed dining. We changed to Anytime Dining -- ha ha. Door opens at 5:30; we were last in at 5:45, having arrived at 5:15; people behind us were told they had an hour wait or more. I ordered a bottle of wine; not available. I ordered a 2nd bottle of wine; not available. I asked for complimentary glass from the maitre d'; he said NO! Finally relented when I complained. The ship had not yet set sail! Show was standing room only 15 min prior to when it started; we left. Toilets overflowing at theater restroom. Ship had not set sailed.
Decided on a soda beverage card after most of the promotions were done for the day, but told you could get them at any bar. It took THREE bars before we got one.
Bed and couch comfortable. Small bathroom for minisuite. No amenities.
