The trip to Greenland was a total fiasco, there wasn’t enough ground transportation in Nuuk leading to multi-hour link waits. Some people were dropped off and the bus never returned to pick them up, apparently the pickup/drop off point at the National Museum was changed in the early afternoon without warning. We had to take a taxi back to the boat. More fiascos at the second and third stops in Greenland, there were not enough tenders leading to long waits to get on and off the ship. Princess appears to be very proud of the fact that the Caribbean Princess was the largest cruise ship to ever visit Greenland, but they appeared to have made little or no effort to ensure that the tenders and local shuttles could handle the large number of passengers. The theater capacity on the ship is grossly inadequate for the number of passengers, especially when it is too cold outside to watch a movie under the stars.

Some cruises are to places that the history and culture are the focal points,this one would have been just that for me,a true learning experiencce.
