coops Posted October 11 #126 Share Posted October 11 10 hours ago, YVRteacher said: My love affair with Princess is over. In more than 55 cruises, that was the single worst embarkation experience. I arrived at the port at 11:21am. The line of passengers was long and was not moving. We were kept outside in the cold, just standing on concrete for 2 hours. Port staff were walking up and down the line SCREAMING at people to move closer together. People wanting wheelchair assistance were screamed at. Truly the worst of humanity in these port staff members. Boarded at 1:32pm and went to muster. My medallion showed I was “off ship” and security was called. The person staffing the muster station was truly awful. This is my pizza at Alfredo’s. Barely edible. It was burnt on the bottom, the cheese was not even real cheese and the pineapple was simply gross. Actually the whole pizza was gross. Service was slow and inattentive. Do you let the staff know you were unhappy with the pizza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfredo’s seems to be a sad shell of its former self. We loved it on the Majestic on our first post Covid cruises almost 3 years ago..and it was free then! Once they started charging and added to the packages IMHO it went downhill. We don’t get packages but paid out of OBC on Royal and Majestic after they started charging and it was terrible. Burnt like yours, poor service, etc. It’s like they don’t care anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're at our vacation home in the PNW, and it was amazing. Bonus not having it in the middle of the night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfredo's on Majestic was our favourite too, post pandemic. Everything was delicious, the pizzas rivaled those on land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeclanJohn Posted October 11 #137 Share Posted October 11 How fun to find this review. Just off the Majestic yesterday morning around 8am... finished up the 11 night coastal cruise. Took my 81 year old mother who had never cruised before. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just disembarked on the 10th and went to Alfredo’s 6 or 7 times throughout our cruise. It was amazing each and every time we went! We also went that many times on our B2B in August .. again, amazing food and service. I wonder why the such discrepancies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
