Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Had a wonderful , early in season Alaska cruise in L107. What a great cabin. Not so sure I want to sing its praises as others will catch on to this great category of cabins. The drapes were never pulled close in the evenings by our cabin steward. The balcony size was beyond for this class of ships. I can only imagine the parties that could be enjoyed in a warmer sailing. No desire to do the Mexican Riviera any time , but would love to do it just to enjoy this cabin. Spending less than a full suite but so worth the money , for size and privacy. The views alone from the deck alone was worth every penny spent. Indulge......
  2. This is a real highlight of great experiences on board. Had the great pleasure of this dining journey on a recent voyage to Alaska. The only caution I would make for parents and families. Know your children well and how they will react to a new food experience. We had two very upset teens who were so sour and complained till they were excused. It was a relief to all when they left the room. There were also two adorable little boys who loved the interaction and visuals, however cried at every course because all they wanted were chicken fingers, No fault of the children or for that matter the parents as they were ill informed of the culinary diverse journey we would be taken on. If anyone is fortunate to get the invitation, do so, as I fear this will become a paid experience very shortly in the future,
  3. Thanks to everyone who offered up some great ideas, and solutions. However taking everything into consideration , have decided to cancel this particular voyage and put it back into the bucket list. There will be a day when all the stars align and all is good. Thank you all.
  4. Due to travel restrictions we have NO choice , but to arrive the day of departure. The ship is to depart at 8.00pm. The flights we are looking at do not arrive till 4.20pm that day. We will have no checked luggage just carry on. Have never sailed from Tokyo, aside from the obvious is this just too little time to get to the port. All flights through Holland America arrive at 3.00pm. Would really appreciate some input from any experienced cruiser having navigated Narita to Yokohama.
  5. When we had a few issues with Princess both onboard and customer support. I contacted Collin Steinke directly through email. I felt my concerns were met and above all listened to. A swift resolution was met and all parties I believe were satisfied. There is nothing wrong with looking at other cruise lines. However if the chat boards are any indication no one line is perfect. Happy sailing.
  6. First time to sail in this cat. Chose L107 for an Alaskan cruise on Discovery this spring. Having only seen this cat. of cabin on video, it will be nice to try it out if only for a 7 day cruise. Never had club class, and have purchased Princess Premier as well. This trip will see if it is worth all the hype If so. will up our game next year on the new Sun Princess, fingers crossed.
  7. Rick and Jeannie , so happy the Island seems to be working out for you both. Was on her in August of this year. Have never been so happy to see the end of a cruise in all the years with Princess. If it had been an option to fly home early, that plane would have been full of passengers and some crew. There came a point though, when you had to make a decision to make the best of the remaining days onboard. Turn the attitude around a create a good time. It was the only thing that saved The Island, from being the worst cruise. The people you choose to meet and the attitude in which you approach a disappointing experience. Bottom line, will I ever choose The Island ever again or even recommend her.....NO. But I will always cruise with Princess because of the great people on board and the lasting friendships. Happy cruising everybody.
