Disembarkation

1 out of 5

We ended up having to walk off as the delayed disembarkation meant lots of folks had to walk off with their bags. Very unruly and the Princess staff did nothing about folk just pushing in and that resulted in my wife being pushed over and damaging her knee!!

If you are so concerned about the ship polluting the air, then why did you go on a cruise.
