Review summary

Overall this was a great cruise. I have 2 suggestions/concerns. This is the second cruise where there was a strong sewer smell when walking in parts of the ship. I remember this in some room hallways and when passing the section by the explorer's lounge. Not a pleasant smell when on vacation. Also please consider separating seating in venues with people that have scents on and those that don't. My husband and I are very sensitive to strong scents and it ruined some experiences when you are stuck sitting next to someone in a show.

Wow! Tough issues. I have not had the experience of bad smells in Princess ships, and have been on five of them. Regarding people- so many variables that we could have 10,000 solutions here - and it would not solve the root cause. Close pins for the nose? No, it would only work on Halloween.

😆 That's a good idea. Some people smell from things they eat. Some smell from products they use. It's the products (mainly hair and perfume) that chokes me up. I'll usually just move to another spot by less aromatic people. It's 9 times out of 10 that women are the culprit.
