Star Princess

We had a very nice trip. All staff on the ship treated us very well. We enjoyed sharing a table during meals with other guests and having nice conversations.

A good cruise thanks to the scenery. Had it not been for the fact that we were travelling with younger children, I doubt if I would have selected Princess for the cruise. Much prefer smaller shops like Azamara, Oceana or Viking. Also did not appreciate that you were "nickeled and dimed" for everything; to be charged for a soft drink at lunch or dinner was not good. Also, the price of tours booked through Princess were extremely high; went on our own and booked tours, many with the same companies the Princess uses, for much less. Seriously doubt if I would book another cruise with Princess.

I recommend this trip to anyone it was one of the best if not the best cruise I have taken

1. Would have liked to used the swimming pool but without steps to walk in or out of swimming pool found it difficult to use. the pool had only ladders to climb and out. And for someone who is mobility handicapped using a walker using ladders it is impossibly difficult 2. Water would turn hot and cold without warning while taking showers. Very uncomfortable when suddenly shower would turn icy cold and then without warning turn hot. Adjusting the control knobs was very difficult. I brought this up with the steward and also with Customer Service. They could do anything about it.

1. problems with controlling hot and cold water while taking showers. water would turn cold after being hot and then turn cold again. Trying to adjust the control knobs was difficult because moving the control valves would suddenly become either very cold or very hot. Told the captain of this problem on meeting him by chance on an elevator; got the impression he knew of it.
