Sail Date: Nov 2011
Cabin: Deluxe Veranda 2D

Embarkation - interminable and made to wait on quayside huts with minimal refreshments due to deep cleaning procedures because of norovirus.

Cabins - very nice and relatively spacious

Dining room. As single lady travellers we wanted to sit with other single travellers but this took 3 nights to get the matre d' to get organised. We were then put with a table of mainly gay men who were busy flirting with each other. My friend told me princess had organised this whole area via a pre cruise questionnaire about seating preferences. How simple this would have been! We then requested that we sit on our own as there are absolutely no arrangements for single travellers. When we asked what single get togethers were organised, the guest relations referred us to a sign that said singles met in a particular bar every evening. I can confirm there were no single travellers in that bar, and as Celebrity did not provide a host for introductions, not much chance of meeting them even if they were there! Oh and there was also a sign about bridge playing too, but we learned that that's all celebrity do, i.e. put up a sign and then say they cater for certain groups when they patently do not!
