I didn't realize you were in a damaged cabin. We were Starboard aft and as far from the fire as you could get. we were in a midship suite on Caribe. as we were by the elevator banks. Our kids actually has their cabin on the other side so they were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox Fan Cruiser Posted December 15, 2023 #278 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I never understand why they put the HR director in with all these officers? Is the person on the ship? Isn't that Corporate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avonlady6390 Posted December 15, 2023 #280 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I'm thinking since there are so many crew on board each ship it would be good to have HR on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a good idea also. It's good to have a point person for all the job issues that all 1000 or so crewmembers have rather than just going to the Hotel Director or the Captain.

Sox Fan Cruiser Posted December 15, 2023 #282 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. So it's an ship specific HR representative. Understood. Didn't think of that.

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted December 15, 2023 Author #283 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Watched the cooking demonstration which was funny and we enjoyed the galley tour that followed. It's great to see some of the people that work so hard in the back which we don't get to interact with. I highly recommend d taking the time for this. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted December 15, 2023 #284 Share Posted December 15, 2023 This particular week of the cruise has had some awful weather and today is no exception. The ship is rolling around in some swells (I would guess 10-12 foot) and we are watching big waves in the pool splashing all over Deck 16. For those used to the usually calm waters of a Caribbean cruise this is a new experience. I imagine more then a few are not feeling good on our last sea day prior to getting back to Port Everglades for more awful Florida weather. Last night we ate in the Crown Grill (8:40 reservations) and noticed quite a few empty tables despite the difficulty in getting reservations. We wonder if this is a staffing issue or just a system that does not believe in filling empty tables. Service in CG was excellent and we thought the food mediocre. The Catch by Rudi definitely wins the prize for the best food on the ship. Hank 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted December 15, 2023 Author #292 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Well looks like I'm spending the evening in. just want to say it was fun meeting you @Hlitner enjoyed our conversation and your company. we may have had terrible weather, but the crew made up for it. We have once again met some amazing crew and this solidifies how much I love Princess. It's the crew. hope anyone who gets off tomorrow has safe travels 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were so many people there who felt queasy the waiters were going around with ginger ale for everyone. Hope you get relief soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on this cruise, I stated some positives and negatives earlier in this thread, and I was basically dismissed for having a different experience and for not expressing everything as sunshine and rainbows. I do know we are very unlikely to return to the Sky. It simply is not for us and the overall experience has been meh. There are folks in here who do not like dissenting opinions about Princess and make it clear that if your experience isn't their experience, you are simply wrong. You have to ignore people like that. We were on the Sky last week. I commented in other threads about some of my concerns, particularly about the cleanliness in the buffet drink area. I did note it on my survey. We had an overall good cruise. Seems like the weather thus week has been way worse, which can make every aspect of the cruise experience seem worse as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said there was a maximum of 2 persons allowed. Based on your pic it's pretty obvious that it can accommodate 4 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
