Cruise to the north. This was two or three weeks later than it should have been. Warm weather oriented ship above the Arctic Circle. Lots of mobility challenged people trying to negotiate snow, ice, and areas not designed for access. Spent two days in Alta with tenders to go ashore. Terrible excursions in Alta. So so excursions in Tromso. Loved having foreign college students leading the tours. No need for local knowledge? Just a poorly thought out cruise.
Embarkation
1 out of 5
Sat for two hours, what a mess. Had to replace radome but they could not figure out how to do it and keep the gangway open.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Just keeps getting worse, no longer anything special.
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
They did not plan for the cold weather. This is not the ship for this cruise. Movies under the snow?
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Some entertainers were very good, others, not so much.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Some staff were fantastic, others forgot who the customer was
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Ship was clean but not really setup for the weather.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Cabin was spacious but worn. Furniture definitely showed its age.
Could have skipped this. Terrible excursions and nothing to see or do in town except the cathedral. 45 min and ready to head back to ship. Everyone complained about their excursions.
I don’t see where I said I was irritated by the weather. My comment was that Princess did not adjust to the weather. Outdoor movies in the snow? We were prepared for cold weather excursions. My comment about the timing was for people planning for this cruise in the future.
Considering you new what the weather is like this time of year and one is just a few key strokes away from knowing what the average weather is like where the cruise is heading why were you surprised by the cooler temperatures and irritated by it ????
