If grammar and punctuation had been used , I might better understand this post. But, I’ve been on two Princess ships and have no issues with the line. I like coming back to a clean room so carts are necessary. And, I expect crowds when there are 4;000 on board. We just time everything we do at less popular times.

I assume the carts you refer to are the housekeeping/stewards carts. Yes, they are in the passageways. Something we put up to have clean cabins. I realize all else us your opinions and perspective. I have always been comfortable in my balconies, and I have to assume if Deck 7 is crowded, must be LOTS of fun stuff happening there. Maybe as Yogi famously alluded to, nobody will go there because it is too crowded.

Sounds like you need to reserve a private yacht for your next cruise! 😃
