We have cruised Princess frequently in the past but they have dropped in quality.

We had to get to shows as much as an hour before the scheduled start time to get seats. The quality of the food has dropped to the worst we have encountered on 25 cruises with multiple cruise lines. Very poor variety. In the past we had so many good choices that it would be hard to choose. On this cruise it was hard to find something we wanted to eat on the menu. I guess they are trying to force guests to choose to pay extra in the specialty restaurants by lowering the quality of the main restaurants. On this four week cruise lobster served only once and pasta meals dominated. Saving money at the expense of quality. Others at our table who were Elite Passengers repeatedly asked what happened to the escargot. It was finally served one time late in the cruise. A limited number of music venues were always overflowing. With many days at sea on a 28 day cruise we found little to do in the evenings that were not so crowded that we could not get in. Needless to say this was a very disappointing cruise. We will not be back on Princess again until they get their act together. They had been in our top two lines. They are now near the bottom of the list. Too bad!
