Every cruiseline has a maintenance schedule for every ship. Things break down. Princess doesn't have a crystal ball. Guess cruising is not for you. Good luck finding another cruiseline .

And what evidence do you have that Princess did not maintain their ship. From the sounds of things your car NEVER breaks down.

At the end of the day the OP deserved a better response and quicker. From past experience Prncess customer service has been known for not doing anything till the end of the crusie then offering some compensation. We have learned from past experience that you get things resolved while still on the ship OR nothing will happen.

Thanks for taking us along. See you in October. Joe

Many moons ago Princess kept a stack of paper napkins at the buffet along with the utensils. I would always grab a clean napkin and use it to pickup the serving spoon. Once done I would throw it away. Wish they still had the paper napkins.

Well not really. One currency the crew hated when traveling in Europe was the Ruble. Of course that was years ago. The Ruble was worthless. In New Zealand last year we could not get change for the US dollar on board. I think it depends on where the cruise might start from.

last time we were in Victoria it was a bit disappointing. Many panhandlers and homeless. Has it gotten any better. Use to be one of my favorite cities to walk to from the ship. Enjoyed reading your thread. Joe

If the ship is the destination and you like new and fancy the Island is not for you. If it's all about the ports then it really doesn't matter what ship you are on. Having a port just about every day is exhausting. You will not see much of the ship just the bed as you fall asleep.

Depending on who is taking the class and their fitness level the instructor will/can adjust the class intensity.. Don't worry about what others are doing. Work at your own level.

Don't forget, if the ship is late getting into port, which has happened, everything changes.

If money is no object and if you are of a certain age the Princess hotel and transfers worked well for us. We don't use the service often. We used it in Buenos Aires and we were happy with the service. As others have stated their is a rep. when you get off the plane to meet you .Hotels have been nice. Any yes getting to the ship is slow. If you are one of those that has to be the first on board then the Princess shuttle may not be for you. We have been there, done that so we just go with the flow. We are slow and in no rush. At the end of the day it is expensive but their is the peace of mind that you will be looked after.

Your right. EZAir is only available about 330 days or less

OP have you checked your cruise without logging in to Princess and gone into EZair. Very easy to play around with and see what flights they have, cost and times. We have found when booking EZAir the earlier the better. Best prices go fast.
