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?

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.

We saw it all evening on the Regal in the North Atlantic. Amazing. 

We're at our vacation home in the PNW, and it was amazing.

 

Bonus not having it in the middle of the night.

Alfredo's on Majestic was our favourite too, post pandemic.

 

Everything was delicious, the pizzas rivaled those on land.

I had the same minibar setup in my suite. Tried to exchange the Beer for rum but rum was not available. 

I don't remember rum ever being available.

I cannot believe I slept through the aurora 😶‍🌫️

Is there a chance of a repeat performance?

I went to Zumba this morning. And by “went” I mean I sat in the Piazza with a coffee and chocolate croissant while everyone else was doing Zumba…🤣

What time did you go to sleep? It was early last night and almost as good as the one back in May.

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.

It was around midnight when the DJ told everyone that the Northern Lights were really clear. Not sure how long they had been around before that..,

I’m glad to hear it was a good experience for you. We were tempted to give it another shot last week, but decided against it.

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?

Maybe embarkation day? Overwhelmed? Busy? Never had an issue there before.,.

Crown Grill was outstanding tonight. To the point where we had to forego dessert as we were so full!
