Cabin: Balcony

My husband had some medical treatment so thought it would be good for him to recouperate so booked on Black Friday. Unfortunately on11 April he had another operation and although able to travel was not well enough to get off the ship. Room excellent (same as Azura). Cabin Steward good except for one mistake. Food good for us although some people did not agree. Found it better than P & O. Had not been on Princess line for some time. Entertainment generally good although too many tribute artists who were not that good. Some acts excellent. Do not like the Outdoor film area particularly April/May from UK to Med. Weather inappropriate although some people were in the rain and with rugs around them. Crazy. Not comfortable seating areas around pool all jammed together with the usual early morning pegs and towels and bags but no passengers. Staff did not stick to the notice that after a certain period of time if no passenger items would be removed to give people a chance to sit out.

Atrium entertainment extremely noisy around a lot of the floors of the ship and could not hear the reception area people because of the noise.

Reception Staff. Some not helpful with a slight attitude problem others excellent. More training needed. If they did not know an answer they should say they do not know but will find out and leave a message on the room phone.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin B1

Do not know cabin category but it had a very large balcony about double the size of our friends'. So just entered any one. No complaints about cabin but wished they used bath sheets that wrap round size 16 plus women. Deck towels used as larger. Wish they had in cabin tea/coffee facilities as sometimes room service took very long times. Other Carnival ships have no problems with health and safety in the room with this facility.

Port Reviews

Rome (Civitavecchia)

Did not go to Rome had been there many times. The port is developing into a really pleasant place in its own right and there was a festival going on so much to do on the sea front. Again walked there with friends and left husband on board recuperating

Florence (Livorno)

Again will take trip next visit when husband can be with me. Visited Livorno again and this again is developing into an interesting pleasant place. Wanted to visit Pisa but will have to wait

Genoa

This is really a port to go to other places but as been to them all just took a walk

Marseille

outrageous cost of Princess Shuttle bus $14! Short drive and not told about free port shuttle bus which did not go direct to the old port so would have had to walk and explore. Not unhappy though as I was on my own and just went to Old harbour where I had a crepe in one of the many restaurants. There was also a craft market so it was fine

Gibraltar

Again been there very many times so went into centre, bought some cherries and grapes and said hello again to one of the shop owners.

Corsica (Ajaccio)

Nice place, husband unable to accompany on trip so walked into port with friends
