Hi all,
My wife and I just returned from a southbound 7 day Alaska cruise. We had a wonderful time but we were very disapointed in Princess. The service and food were both fair at best. We ate in the dining room 6 nights and every night except for one they managed to mess up our order. The one night it was really bad. It took them 4 times, yes 4 times to get it correct! They were very pushy with selling wine during diner which really spoiled things. Later we found out that they are rewarded directly on how many bottles of wine they sell per evening. We had bought the sticker for 22.50 for soda, but found it nearly impossable to get someone to get you one. A lot of people had problems with luggage when we disembarked. We, along with many others had to wait almost two hours after we got off the ship to get our luggage. There were many other problems we encountered and I hate to bash them if this isn't their normal service. On a good note, the ship was in great shape, nearly spotless.
Have any of you experianced this on the Sun Princess? We had spoke to a few other passengers while we were in the airport and most of them were vetern cruisers, most commented that it was the worst cruise they ever took. Was anyone else out here on that cruise? Is this typical on a cruise or are our standards to high?
