Disembarkation

Later than scheduled and herded out to buses.............none of which had any signage. Buses should be clearly marked about where they are going to you can be directed to the proper bus..Dbark should be scheduled by assigned destination. i.e. Heathrow, London Hotel, etc.

I have no issues with navigating around on any Princess ship since they are all designed basically the same. Only issue is on deck 7 which only goes through on one side of ship and decks 5 and 6 don't go all the way through due to the MDR's. Maybe if you made good use of map on app or displays at each elevator telling you where you are and what's on that deck, you wouldn't have had issues.
