Yeah Princess is not for everyone. It’s a relaxed atmosphere. If you need action to be entertained, try Carnival or RC. What did the waiters do/say that makes you call them rude? Many people ask for special favors and if the staff says, “No”, they call them rude.

Just read 3 reviews in a row regarding this cruise. 2 thought it was excellent and you didn't. Just an example of how you can never please all the people all the time. We are all different.

I've experienced the older crowds on Princess and NCL cruises and I mean older like 75 and up!!! Trivia all day cruises. Lol.

For having an owners suite we thought there would be more personalized service. There was not. You are part of the herd. Even the concierge was not much help other than getting us another night at the Crown restaurant and early disembarkation (sort of).

Overall, it was good.

Amazing Caribbean Cruise!!!
