Did your cruise sail at full capacity it looks very busy on board .Just of Edge it was only 60% full according to some staff alot less people ,I was surprised !!they could afford do that as a company. Did you find the service on princess good or did you have to wait for drinks etc alot of people complaining on social media about not enough staff on board during the summer don't know if that's true. Was thinking of princess for Fjords next summer ps loved your balcony.

@CruiseMonkeys

Жыл бұрын

Not sure what the capacity was but it was quite full. Service was a little slow and the staff were trying so hard bless them. We've seen quite a few complaints over the summer from UK cruisers about service - think the cruise lines are struggling a little with staff, plus a number of new cruisers too or cruisers who got used to last years low capacity. Hopefully things will keep improving. We definitely recommend Princess to the fjords next year!

Can you book dining on the app or does it have to be done onboard

@CruiseMonkeys

You can choose your times on the app, either same time each night or you can go through each day and choose a time/restaurant.

Is there a dining room onboard or just eateries off the lobby?

@CruiseMonkeys

Жыл бұрын

There are main dining rooms 3 in fact, then there’s speciality restaurants such as Sabatini’s and crown grill, Sur la mer is a specialty restaurant but it’s on the top level of the atrium, Alfredo’s the pizza/pasta restaurant is complimentary but on the second level of the atrium. The buffet is up on deck 16 but unlike other cruise lines it closes after dinner really which is why the international cafe is open 24hrs a day. That’s the one down on the lowest level, like a counter for pastries sandwiches and cakes etc.
