My wife told me today that if this cruise had been our first, it would also be our last.
Princess Medallion is a joke. Every other cruise line we've been on , you get your table the first night and go there every night after. Here, you have to stand in a reservation line every night and hope your table is available or do you have a table. People in the no reservation line get in faster. Both nights we had long waits to find out we didn't have an assigned table, even though we did have one. They had to scramble to finally get us a table. The line outside was very long because even people who did have tables still had to wait and show their medallion. We were told that Princess management deemed this was the proper way to run the restaurant even though the Maitre d did not agree.
Several elevators were out of order on day 1. Safe's out of order (unable to be fixed and no new ones were available). $100 OBC for that, so you have to hide your money, passports and credit cards, so they won't be stolen One of our 2 tv remotes was missing and then replaced, One of our lamps was missing a light bulb. It's taken us 2 days to be very disillusioned with Princess.
Some small problems, but handicapped guests on day 1 had to wait for elevators to be repaired. I think there was a generator problem.
I feel the medallion idea in restaurant management should be scrapped.
On the good side the pizza on deck 14 was good even though the Sabatini pizza ovens had problems and delayed today's lunch. I don't know if they were repaired as we then went to 14.
We just had a medical emergency announcement where a guest has to be taken off, so that may affect our itinerary time tomorrow, but of course the guests health is the first priority.
