To the person stating that cruising is not was it was BEFORE Covid.....I would love to ask....what is? Air travel, Restaurants?, Shopping in either grocery stores or the mall? Sadly we are not close to where we were before Covid...cruising or otherwise. We just need to be patient.

Thats odd, since I was on tge Caribbean Princess a few months ago and the ship was in excellent shape for her age. The bathrooms are the same size as they always have been, cause I dont think they got smaller over the years, so dont understand that one. Also muster can be done in your room, cause that's where I do mine, and the head down to check in while I'm in that area, its way too simple. Perhaps PCL isn't for you, or maybe cruising in general.

Well if you only give the new Muster Drill requirements a three out of five stars, it may be hard to like anything. The bathroom size on this ship is the same size as they have always been. Other than growing pains of new staff, supply shortages, and an old ship, what are Princess' new changes that you didn't like?

Glad the Regal was much better than what this poster implies Princess is like. Although in all honesty, my trip on the Caribbean Princess back in October 2018 left a lot to be desired, although the food was decent to very good and the entertainment was decent back then. Because of the maintenance issues we had (bad bad BAD mold issues in the room from the shower stall and sewer stink in other parts of the ship), I avoid the Caribbean Princess to this day.

Thanks for the review. Cruising is not what it was prior to Covid.
