Pack Leader

Not heard any gossip on Covid. Staff wearing mask. Odd passenger with a mask. Dinner was booked for 6.40pm. Only time pre cruise I could book. Other night arrived 7.15 ignoring booking, as it made no difference. Yesterday no queue at 7.30 and had fast service Seems hit and miss. Waiter on the night we had fast service offered us doubles on wine! Accepted - Reckon he knew orders for drinks would be delayed.

Specialty Dining was booked up very quickly. Many couldn't book prior to embarkation. My theory is that there are a lot of people who have been given sweeteners after their cruises were cancelled in the Pandemic

Quite impressed with Bilbao. La Coruna tomorrow

Think the Commodore has lost his voice! Leaving Bilbao now.

Have queued 10 minutes to enter MDR but service night 2 was 2 hours. Yesterday it was normal speed with v attentive waiting staff. Only red I am drinking out of choice on plus package is Sicilian Syrah which is quite good. No Malbec on Plus otherwise I would be drinking it. WiFi is slow as it has been previously so as expected on Plus package, so photos slow, videos don't bother but all as expected.

My wife drinks Chardonnay. 3 choices in Plus package. They only have 1 in stock - Adesso an Italian Chardonnay. Its rubbish according to my wife. Online shopping suggests it is very cheap. Put issue to guest services as a "disappointment" not a complaint. 36 hours later had heard nothing. Happened to see F&B manager and had a chat. Turns out this wine is an alternate they purchased when Decoy Chardonnay delivery never arrived. Said she would let us know if they picked up a new delivery of other Chardonnay at next port. Still heard nothing. She did send us a nice Penfolds. No note, so no explanation and no solution going forward. My wife has about 5 drinks a day and to her the wine is important. I think quality of drinks is quite emotive with cruisers. She has now been ordering a wine at $17 a glass and is questioned every time as it is above our package but we will take this matter up with Princess later, if we are charged.

Yes, on Enchanted now. Just as described. Back from walk around Bilbao fancied a burger. Half hour wait at Salty Dog. 2 hours for dinner in MDR the other night and only 2 glasses of wine poured in that time. Commodore only heard from once to announce we were not tendering to Guernsey. Massive queues at bars, app not working as they can not service demand and lots of people complaining. Oh dear Princess. Cruise over sold and under staffed. Any new cruisers will be put off. Sky last year was brilliant and introduced us to Princess. May look at Celebrity again next year or bite the bullet and move up to Oceania with whom I have wanted to cruise with for some time
