Lanwood Posted December 2, 2015 #26 Share Posted December 2, 2015 the further away from Australia you get the better Princess is Funny you should say that, because we find that to be true for our experiences also... Anyway - 1 x vote for Princess again (grand glass, not sun class...don't hate me) :D Although Celebrity comes in a close second, and I am still yet to try a Crystal cruise, still on my bucket list....I may yet have a new winner....

Possibly distinguishing between Princess Australia and Princess International. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 3, 2015 #28 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Sorry Uncle Les, but I'm not sure they use "Come back New" anymore, every piece of paper Mrs GUT saw with that was changed by crossing out "New" and writing in "Fat". Sems that might be the new slogan. Lol, most likely right.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted December 3, 2015 #29 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Then again the further away from Australia you get the better Princess is. Funny you should say that, because we find that to be true for our experiences also.... Its the same with any cruise line.... The service always improves for passengers who tip...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted December 3, 2015 #30 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Its the same with any cruise line....The service always improves for passengers who tip...;) Couldn't be better than we had, without being overwhelming, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 3, 2015 #31 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The service always improves for passengers who tip...;) People have preconceived ideas about others and Aussies have a reputation of not tipping. This can affect service although luckily in my experience (because we tip) it hasn't as yet.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted December 3, 2015 #32 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I would certainly agree that the standards on the 'American Princess Ships' are higher than on the Sun/Dawn/Sea Princesses and I have been on most of them, well, Sun/Dawn Princesses and Ruby/Crown/Golden/Star/Pacific/Regal/Diamond/Coral Princesses, might have missed one or two. Of course the North Americans are more likely to tip than the Aussies, the North Americans are 'born to tip', it is their culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodogbodog Posted December 4, 2015 #37 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I am still yet to try a Crystal cruise, still on my bucket list....I may yet have a new winner.... If Crystal are eligible (being only an annual visitor for usually only one or two cruises I'm not sure they qualify) they would be the winner in my opinion. To be fair they are a 6 Star All Inclusive line (which you pay a premium for) so comparison to other lines like Princess or Celebrity is a mismatch Lanwood - I hope you take the opportunity to experience Crystal at some point - rest assured you will become Crystalized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sems that might be the new slogan. I can see it now. In their commercials happy models running up the gang way onto the ship and then they show them on board eating & drinking. Cut to end of commercial and the crew roll the same models in fat suits down the gang way. The background music could be the Oompa Loompa music from Charlie & the chocolate factory.
