Creator's Key Takeaways
I felt Princess had lost its way and they had slipped behind the competition in the premium category.
I was delighted to find they made a huge improvement by bringing onboard Rudy Sodom, a wellrespected restaurant tier and chef, to help oversees the improvement.
I felt the entertainment has definitely been ramped up. It's higher energy and there is much more a feeling of buzz and activity.
All of these probably fall under the term of nickel and dimeming as it's called.
