Review summary
THE SERVICE AND FRIENDLINESS OF THE CREW AND CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS JUST ALMOST NONEXISTENT. TALKED WITH OTHERS THAT HAVE CRUISED ON BOARD AND THEY TOO WERE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE. YOU FELT LIKE YOU WERE BOTHERING THEM AND THEY REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT. MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT A BOTTLE OF WINE AND DID NOT GET IT TO THE TABLE UNTIL A HALF HOUR LATER AND TOLD THEM TO SEND THE FOOD BACK UNTIL WE GOT THE WINE. THEY SEEMED TO BE VERY ANNOYED WITH IT. SO WE LEARNED YOU ORDER WINE OR ANY COCKTAIL FIRST BEFORE YOU ORDER YOUR FOOD AND WE WERE NOT ON THE DRINKING PACKAGE. WE PAID FOR ALL OUR DRINKS. IF YOU ASK FOR ANYTHING IT WAS USUALLY ABOUT THREE TIMES AND THEN PERHAPS YOU GET IT. JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE LIKE TOWELS IN THE ROOM HAD TO CALL THREE TIMES AND STILL DID NOT GET IT. SO WE BROUGHT THE TOWELS FROM THE POOL TO USE. WHEN WE SAW THE GUY IN THE HALLWAY AND WAS FACE TO FACE AND SAID GIVE US TWO EXTRA TOWELS IN THE ROOM EACH DAY THEN WE GOT IT. I CAN KEEP GOING. IT WAS NOT NORWEGIAN WHERE YOU ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THEY WANT TO DO MORE FOR YOU AND WANT YOU TO COME BACK. WHICH THIS WAS OUR FIRST AND LAST TIME THAT WE WILL CRUISE WITH PRINCESS. IT'S A SHAME BECAUSE THEY HAVE LONG DOCK TIMES ON THE ISLANDS WHICH WE STAYED OFF THE BOAT AS LONG AS WE COULD. OH FORGOT THE BEST ONE TOO. YES WE WERE THE CRUISE WITH THE MURDER ON IT. ENTERTAINMENT WAS A JOKE AND DID NOT HAVE SHOWS EVERY NIGHT. NORWEGIAN EVERY NIGHT IS A SHOW EVEN IF ITS JUST DANCING. AND THE LIVE MUSIC THE MUSICIANS WERE GOOD BUT AFTER ABOUT TWO, THREE DAYS YOU GET TIRED OF HEARING THE SAME MUSIC BEING PLAYED. I JUST LOOKED AT THIS SURVEY AND IT SAID MY OVERALL RATING IS A 2.5. NO! PRINCESS GETS A 1 FROM US. THE ISLANDS WE WENT TO GET A FULL 5. THE ISLANDS WERE WONDERFUL IF YOU LIKE SNORKELING SCUBA AND WATER ACTIVITIES, BEAUTIFUL. THE PEOPLE WERE WARM FRIENDLY AND RELAXED AND SERVICES WERE GREAT. WE ALSO FELT VERY SAFE EVERYWHERE WE WENT. WALKED TO BEACHES AND FELT TOTALLY SAFE. THE MOST FUNNY THING IS THE ROOM THAT IS SHOWING ON THIS IS THE ROOM THEY CHANGED ON US AND DID NOT TELL US THAT THEY CHANGED AND MADE US FEEL WE WERE WRONG TO THINK THAT WAS OUR ROOM. SO WE NEVER WERE IN THE ROOM WE BOOKED SO WE CAN'T COMMENT ON IT. BUT THE 9TH FLOOR ROOM WAS NASTY SMELLING AND DIRTY. THE ROOM WE FINALLY GOT WAS NICE 615 ON THE 15TH FLOOR BUT IT WAS A VERY HORRIBLE BAD EXPERIENCE TO GET WHAT WE PAID FOR. WE WILL NEVER CRUISE WITH THEM AGAIN. GOING TO CRUISE AND NEVER STRAY AWAY FROM THE CRUISE LINE WE ENJOY AND FEEL SAFE ON THAT BEGINS WITH AN "N". REMEMBER WE HAD THE MURDER ON THE CRUISE. 4:30 A.M. WAS ANNOUNCED IN THE ROOMS OF AN EMERGENCY AT LIFEBOAT 2. IT TOTALLY SCARED THE HELL OUT OF US. AND WE IMMEDIATELY GOT READY TO RUN SINCE WE WERE NEVER TOLD WHAT WAS GOING ON UNTIL WE FOUND OUT IN ARUBA FROM LOCALS WHAT HAPPENED. POOR MANAGEMENT.Embarkation
