Review summary

I've cruised on various cruiselines before and I was a little disappointed. I loved the size and organization of the cabin with lots of closet space for two. But I'm giving it 2 stars because of the following. We had plumbing problems with the toilet (wouldn't flush for a couple of mornings and in one instance it took them 2 hours to finally fix the issue -- and they didn't have to come into the cabin to fix it). We were without water in cabin from 9a - 1p one day at sea as they had to fix plumbing in our area. It took us 2-3 days to finally get the mini fridge replaced after numerous calls about the fact that it wasn't working. They broke the handle on one of my suitcases and now I have to file a claim. We had to request the complimentary robes. We were on the 8th floor and ALL of the Oceanview staterooms had obstructed views because of the location of the boats. We had 2 cabins and because of their location, it was about 1/4 less obstructed. But I thought that was utterly ridiculous. Why not have the boats lower considering the cost of the Oceanview cabins? It's a very much older crowd (which was cool to see that you can still have a good time cruising when older), but the environment is a little different. In speaking with a few other prior Princess guests, they weren't thrilled with this particular boat and expressed a difference from other experiences with Princess. I won't be using this cruiseline in the near future.
