Review summary

Everything was really good. We weren't expecting such a hard sell for some of the items. This was the first Princess cruise that I had been on where it seemed everything cost extra. For example, the adult deck lounge chair area was an extra cost, seafood night was an extra cost. They really come after you on embarkation day for the spa treatments etc. Felt a little overwhelmed with all the extra stuff. The spa was something we really wanted, they had us sold twice, but they just couldn't seem to stop themselves from trying to push the price up until we finally had to walk away without purchasing anything. Don't get me wrong, we loved our cruise and the time we had together on this trip, Just not what I have come to expect from a Princess Cruise.

I’ve never paid extra on seafood night is that something new?

Just do what we do on all the sale you this just say no thank you. If there is something you are interested in like the spa then go to them directly. Glad you enjoyed your cruise otherwise!
