Issues I Have With Princess Cruises

Editorial Summary

The creator evaluates his experiences on recent Princess Cruises trips to decide whether to proceed with a high-cost Alaska booking. He identifies several concerns, beginning with the lack of ship variety, noting that the decor and layouts feel identical across different vessels. While this sameness reduces excitement, he acknowledges it provides a sense of familiarity. He expresses concern regarding the increasing size of the fleet, which can lead to crowded environments. Regarding dining, he finds the included afternoon tea underwhelming in quality but concludes that the overall culinary standards are high, citing successful poached egg tests across multiple restaurants. Other grievances include smoking in the casino, which he finds off-putting, and the diminished spectacle of the skywalk feature on newer ships. He also critiques the repetitive nature of the theater shows, describing them as dated review-style performances. Ultimately, the creator decides to maintain his booking because of Princess Cruises' expertise in Alaska and their consistent service. He concludes that while the line requires some compromise, its reliability and functional technology, such as the Medallion, outweigh the identified flaws.
