Princess Chatter

Who reads the cruise contract, until you have a problem. 

I'm not totally eliminating it for now.
We'll wait till the price is reasonable.

From what I heard they've done away with the wooden skewers also. I guess they're bad for the environment also or maybe they're just to expensive. ??

We just returned from the Ruby (Nov 6th sailing) and found some things a little disappointing. The production shows are really outdated, but that was to be expected.
Buffet food was really disappointing to say the least. Very little variety with sometimes only 1 main item offered. We had a lot of port days & couldn't use the DR for lunch.

The redeeming thing was the food in the DR which we found pretty good overall. We never had one bad meal in the DR.

One night we went to the Crown Grill & it was terrible. We had 2 or 3 appetizers each although our waitress pointed out that it was limited to only 1 appetizer but she had to confirm it with the Chef to get approval for more. 
Our main course of Rack of Veal was so tough neither of us actually finished it. For $80 spent, we wouldn't return anytime soon.

Most of the crew did a good job except for the new cruise director, Jess. Her constant screaming into her mic made her announcements unbearable. We're used to a more laid back attitude for a CD & her attitude was more suited for a Carnival cruise. 
Maybe were just getting to old for that bubbly attitude. She certainly didn't fit the typical Princess stereotype.

Thankfully they've left one of their better ships sailing 10 day trips from Ft Lauderdale this season. 
I've read some so-so reports about their food lately so I'm anxious to see how accurate the posting were. It's hard to believe what some people post unless you personally know them.
We were on the ship last March & had no complaints about crew, shows or any of the food, but things can often change.

Your just having fun with is, aren't you Rich?

Looks like something aligned with the White House Christmas video. 

Glad to here that the newest ships are sailing from Florida and sending the others elsewhere. Now I just have to wait for the drop in prices before booking. 

At the same time I'm reading about restaurants closing for lack of sufficient business. It may be good for Princess to advertise that they're going to address the lack of sufficient vegan items, but it'll be only for show to attract business.
