  1. :) Did a 14 day Eastern Med. cruise on her in Aug. '92. Nice size and not too many passengers due to her size. Lost 12 lbs due to heat and humidity walking around ashore on her stops. Hope they got the toilet back-ups fixed. Lower deck folks has a few of their cabins flooded. Cunard's code word for that problem on her PA system was "Phoenix" for plumber to cabins such and such. Remember it was about $130 a day PP for an upper deck inside cabin including Air from SFO to Rome and SFO from Athens after a few days lay over there to visit old friends from our posting there in 60-63. It must of been the weekly Greek immigrant flight on TWA's 747 as the 100 or so Greeks could not read English and they plugged up the toilets in 7 of the 8 Blue rooms with used hand towels.

     

    Funny, we did a Black Sea cruise on the Princess in 1990 and my mother-in-law frequently had to walk over "squishy" carpets due to blocked up toilets. Supposedly that was to be fixed in a 1991 refit.
