Rare Lady Arwen Posted March 6, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2021 We all love the Princess product, but tell us about the one thing you would change about your cruise experience. Food? Cabins? Service? Decor? You tell us! Play nice, everyone, there are no wrong opinions. I’ll go first. Please, Princess, get rid of the plastic shower curtains and install glass doors, instead. Thank you. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted March 6, 2021 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Replace the barrel chair which was removed from balcony cabins with a folding chair and a secure storage location for the folding chair. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers36 Posted March 6, 2021 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2021 IDK if this is the ONE thing, but I'd like to see them provide more real shade in the Sanctuaries of the Royal class ships. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancruzs Posted March 6, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I take longer cruises and would do jigsaw puzzles on sea days, finding space where one stays set up, is not happening on newer ships. On my transatlantic cruises, I run into people from previous cruises and usually doing puzzles! 🙂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted March 6, 2021 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Smarten up over Deposit amounts. $100-$250 per cabin is reasonable And refundable up to final payment is fair. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabySarge Posted March 6, 2021 #10 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Bring back the good eucalyptus lotion and decent shampoo and conditioner. Get rid of the square wall mounted hair dryer and get the newer ones used on the newer ships. Install lamps with plugs/usb ports. Get rid of the heavy comforter and bring back top sheets and blankets (I know you can request the comforter be removed and a top sheet and blanket put on but we have found more and more they are not always available) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbyfarmer2 Posted March 6, 2021 #11 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Remove towels reserving deck chairs on pool deck after half an hour or so. Sick and tired of going to breakfast and seeing every deck chair reserved with no on in them and a couple of people in the pool. 25 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted March 6, 2021 #12 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Agree with many, but I do realize the financial burden facing them. I expect fares to increase & stricter cancellation penalties. Will be reading the fine print more carefully now. I did love that lotion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk around every hour and pick up unused towels and other paraphernalia (paperback books, flip flops, hats, etc.)...put the junk in a Lost & Found box on the pool deck. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted March 6, 2021 #15 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Agree with many of these suggestions: More shade around the pools. Eliminate those net awnings, they are useless for shade. It's as if Princess hasn't heard of skin cancer. Card rooms The new bedding does have top sheets. I always get tangled in that sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with the new safety protocols we’ll see in the near future, you may get your wish. Probably, dining in general will be quite different than what we’re used to.

Rare ontheweb Posted March 6, 2021 #20 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Agree of course with enforcing the policy on chair hogs by the pools. This may seem trivial, but I'd like trivia contests to be individual contests, not team contests. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic The Parrot Posted March 6, 2021 #21 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Lower the volume !! 🤬🤯 It's not really necessary for MUTS and the ships musicians to raise the sound level to 10,000 decibels. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted March 6, 2021 #22 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Stop requiring room linked Drink package and specials being required of all people in a cabin. It can be done on an individual basis. Enforce no seat saving in the theaters. Put the so called formal night to rest and call it something else that is not connected to a " dress request". Enforce standards in the dining rooms for the evening meals. Edited March 6, 2021 by Potstech 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted March 6, 2021 #23 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Get rid of the boring overdone itineraries and replace them w new and interesting ports. But of course that isn't going to happen. DON 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XBGuy Posted March 6, 2021 #25 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Offer "Specials of the Day" in the specialty restaurants. I know that every couple of years they swap out one or two menu items in Crown Grill, but, otherwise, the menus are pretty static. Another of the reasons that we enjoy SHARE is that the menu is regularly revamped. I have seen Alaska-themed specials in Crown Grill on AK cruises and one time in Sabbatini's, I was offered Osso Bucco (it was terrific). but that has been it. I know that this is a pretty trivial complaint. I guess that speaks to my overall satisifaction with the Princess product. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
