I am sure that Princess has got it right by giving everybody what they want.

The two Anytime dining rooms have allowed reservations for some time which is our preference but sometimes are booked out and are restricted for walk ins. You @terrierjohn now have a single dining room for walk ins which is your preference and is an improvement for you.

I think the Princess new system is good. Everyone will know which MDR restaurant is for what type of dining, Club, Reservation or Walk-In and there should be no milling around outside clogging the area.

It was a long cruise which is more prone to outbreaks.

Do you mean Intercruise

Internet at present has 15% discount online. Will you not be doing any drinking or anything else on board to use up your OBC

Was this in Japan? If not where did it embark and where was the cruise going to.

At Visby catch the little local shuttle to the top of the town, zig zag your way down, catch the little local shuttle at the bottom, near the front, back to the ship.

Everyone seems to be complaining about children and standards on every cruise line during holidays. Hopefully you will find the usual good standard on Princess in June during term time.

In what way?

Hope you feel a bit better later today. Lucky there was someone to look after you and Ted and call an ambulance. Take care and don’t do things too fast.

Our steward was new and maybe the old hands have collected all the face cloths and keep their own little stash. Likewise we found the travel home on a Sunday was great.

Just returned from our first cruise on Ventura although have travelled on several Princess Grand class ships. Weather was not brilliant but was good in Oporto which was a new destination for us. Think @happy v was on this cruise as well. We felt the food was fine in the MDR, selection good and various vegetables. We had freedom dining on a table for two and sometimes ate early and other times had a pager. We had two nicely spiced meals in Sindhu and also ate twice in Epicurean. Facecloths were no longer available. Drinks selection was limited especially cocktails. Embarkation at 2.15 was good and disembarkation ok but haphazard. We don’t do shows so can’t comment on that. The piano player Tony Williams was especially good and we were surprised that the Metropolis was a good substitute for the Crows Nest. Did miss having any classical players. There was one speaker but it clashed with other things. Lots of craft classes. All in all a lovely cruise and we shall going on Ventura again in the future.

All side cabins have the same large balcony half shaded half unshaded.
