"Thanks to his background at Disney, Padgett knew the premium that customers were prepared to pay for high-quality themed entertainment so he made it a priority at Princess."
With statement like that we can all expect to be paying even more for basic service.

Expanding offerings to attract new cruisers is a sound approach. Perhaps they're crunching numbers, and have determined the potential trend of repeat cruisers aging out of the future market. Oh to be a fly on the wall.

Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Princess is one of the three worst cruise lines according to the Internet
« Last post by Host Mike on May 09, 2024, 08:57:56 PM »"The problem is, Princess Cruises has to start putting its guests first. They need to hire someone who knows what their customers want and give them precisely that. Princess has one of the most loyal client base, and all they have been doing lately is slowly depleting it. Princess, we know you see this; stop messing around!"
