    Ive booked a cabin beside a laundry room. Are the laundry rooms noisy that it will disturb us in our cabin?

    To be honest, the food wasn't great on this ship lol. We were on it for 13 nights and the dinner buffet was almost identical to the lunch buffet and they didn't really change day to day. Emrys loved the Indian food options, I ate a lot of bread 😂

    great video! i feel like princess is trying to keep up with the bigger class cruise ships and are rushing too fast and failing. "run your own race" like princess should just better their old fleet rather than try and keep up with the hype. also, we are sailing on crown princess to Alaska, what would be your recommendations when talking about food (good food spots, good dishes in main dining, etc).

  • @travelingbeyondboundaries
    @travelingbeyondboundaries16 күн бұрын

    I totally agree! Princess needs to do what they do best, smaller ships and great service. I (and many others) don't want what other lines are offering. Buffet was disappointing on the Crown but other food options were good. Salty Dog and Slice are on Lido. We don't eat in the dining room so I'm sorry I don't have recommendations for that. If you like seafood the Crab Shack is a specialty dining option offered at the buffet (they use a section) and it apparently has great options. @code4forlife is a KZread channel that shows a bunch of the food Princess offers. Our next Princess cruise is December and we are hoping to do a better job of showing the food.

    Still not vegan friendly at all after all these years. One option for each course is absolutely shameful. Asparagus as a main course?

  • @travelingbeyondboundaries
    @travelingbeyondboundaries24 күн бұрын

    The asparagus was with a risotto but I agree. The old menus had more choices. I stopped eating in the dining room because I don't like the options. We were just on the Jewel of the Seas for 13 nights and I couldn't eat plant based because I would have starved. Vegetarian was really hard even with many meals being repetitive. We are on another ship in a few weeks and we will be back in the dining room because my friend is celiac but I don't like half the food in the menu so I doubt I'll eat vegan for dinner.
