Firstly the itinerary was the selling feature of this trip being very Japan orientented and then Alaska finishing in Vancouver. But also being on the Golden Princess which to date was our preferred cruise line because of their service, food and general value for money.
But unfortunately we believe that Princess and quickly losing their focus and fast becoming a 3.5 product.
This is re-inforced by the number of operational problems such as leaking sewage, blocked sewage, leaks and overall run down look of a ship apparently just out of 14 days in Dry Dock in Singapore. What did they do????
