Review summary

Tropical Storm Fiona effected our cruise significantly so missed 4 scheduled ports of call and had an extra 2 days at sea. But the decisions made by Captain / Executive team were far worse than the storm effects. Left all ports later than expected (no Bon Voyage party - since we left NY after 10pm at night) due to fuel issues?? Choose to leave Boston to sail around harbor (but not far enough away to open shops and Casino) only to be told we could not go back to Boston to Moor up for Fiona passing (since the port was now full - why did we leave anyway - beautiful day when we could have explored more of Boston). So spent the next two days riding out Fiona on the high seas (very rough - with nothing to do). Weather can not be controlled but the decisions made by the Officers and Logistics team were very very bad - they should all be made to walk the plank!!!

Food was stale and unimaginative

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Onboard activities were limited and often repeated - not imaginative at all - very loud and distracting

Entertainment

Non-Princess entertainment was great. On board entertainment was stale and old / boring.

Weather and poor decisions by logistics hindered the days in port, the timing and missing some ports do to storm damage.

If other ships had docked in Boston the captain was probably ordered away from the dock or would have been charged massive fines which would have been passed on to the passengers.
