Review summary

overall the cruise was fantastic but did have a few comments.

1.Was suppose to get a dinner at the specialty restaurant and never got it.

2.  Only 2 smoking areas for smokers and one was enclosed and smelled like a huge ashtray so really only one available.

3. The bathrooms on each deck were very hard to find and very few and small. Also no toilet seat covers available,

4. All crew members from the Cruise Director right down to the room steward wore much too much perfume.

do they not have smoking areas on any of the decks?

Gotta say - many Princess cruises and not one instance of crew over-perfumed. Interesting!

Glad you enjoyed your cruise, but Hmm, smoking area smells like ash tray... That sounds about right. Personally I think it smells worse than an ash tray, not to mention you and your clothes, especially when you get into an elevator, smell bad too. I don't see the complaint or surprise. What did you expect it to smell like?☠️💐🌼🌲🌹🌺🌻🍓🛳️
