It’s hard to review cruises, isn’t it? Every person has different things they want from the experience, different expectations, etc. Even if we’d taken the exact same cruise on the same dates, we very well might have drawn different conclusions. My review was my honest evaluation of the experience, as a person who hasn’t taken very many traditional cruises. Thank you for sharing your impressions! What do you mean by AGM? Is that excursions? And by “Med season” you mean one of the Mediterranean cruises?

Wow, that’s not at all what our experience was like! It was adequately heated, there was cutlery – although I think I only ate at the buffet for breakfast and lunch, not dinner – and I didn’t wait more than about 10 minutes for a seat in either main dining room … I’d love to know which ship you were on, when you took the cruise, and what itinerary it was!

No, he’s right. Your review is NOTHING LIKE what passengers actually endure on Princess. From the buffet with no cutlery and no seats to an hour-long wait for the main dining room to unheated public areas, the experience is simply not worth the price.

It’s an honest account of how I experienced the cruise. So it’s not BS; it’s just different from your opinion. But you read it so I assume you’re considering a cruise? Read my post about the Hurtigruten mail ship that goes up and down the coast of Norway. That might be more your style.

Actually I do, as long as they’re not rude or abusive. And if I feel so moved, I’ll respond.
