My Dear Wife and I sailed on Sea Princess in 2012 from San Francisco to Sydney and I will NEVER AGAIN sail on her.... She was in need of refit then and (some of) the staff were ignorant Pigs.... I asked for pizza from the pizza restaurant and was told that I HAD to eat it in the restaurant....... by a waiter from Portugal...! Told him to get out of my way or I would walk over him....! At dinner that evening the Matre D had the audacity to challenge me over where I could eat or not eat a PIZZA.... I am Italian (by extraction) Pizza is for "Fun Food" to be eaten in the park with your Grandchildren and enjoyed with your fingers for utensils.... Not in a freezing cold restaurant alone (as everyone on the cruise was avoiding it like a plague).......
Rust was a huge problem onboard it with large flakes falling onto the balcony of my mini suite....... quickly cleaned up by steward (who was just the best thing about the whole cruise)
The Chef onboard was German....... Could Not Cook to Save his Life..... Don't know where they found him, but PUT HIM ASHORE!!!!. One of the reasons people cruise is for the culinary delights. Not on Sea Princess!!! Certainly not on that voyage. Dear Wife asked for the Asian Menu item on an Asian Night, beef with black bean sauce. What she got was a strip of very over cooked beef, with pasta, a piece of broccoli dry.... no black bean sauce...... Certainly not even close to being Asian. Asked Table waiter to please take it back as It was not edible..... Waiter was shocked and told her she could not replace it as that was what was prepared and that was it!!!
Went to see the The Captains Circle about a Pre-Paid Cruise only to be told that she was too busy....... But I'm a CUSTOMER.....! where is the customer relations?
No..... I'm very sorry Princess, You have one more go at my wallet onboard Diamond Princess in October/November when I return to Oz from a China Holiday. If you aren't a great deal better.... That's it....I'm Gone. As can be seen from my profile, I have also cruised aboard Carnival Spirit.... Much better ship than Sea Princess!!!!! But that would not be too hard!!!!
