If it's like the 2000 Princess world cruise, you can expect the
following to be going on right now:
Same buffet food every day, ecept the occassional Chinese buffet
smell of sewer gas throughout thye ship every4 or 5 days
overflowing toilets, showers (no drain cleaning)
poor maintainance of clothes washers- broken washer hoses leaving 5"
of wat on the laundry room floor (no drain)
loose deck boards (tripping hazard)
TOO MANY PORTS OF CALL. Only 4 to 6 hours in most ports! No time to
shop or find a good restaurant. Princess doesn't know the ports and
makes no recommendations. You're on your own. Just when you may
discover something exciting- you have to rush to get back on the ship.
Insufficient restroom facilities on most foreign excursion buses. Men:
BRING YOUR OWN PEE BOTTLE !
Women: BRING YOUR OWN COVERED PAIL !
Too late for this post. The ship already left!
$21,565. How many passengers want to get off the ship and get home
right now?!
No lifebuoys on upper decks of Princess Ships. If someone falls
overboard or overboard from another ship at port; how many hundreds of
yards do you have to run in order to find a lifebuoy on a lower deck?

A NEW Royal Princess means nothing. The big question is:are there NEW
PEOPLE in charge who know how to maintain a cruise ship? What did they
do to repair the old one? How much time is spent in the ports?
Considering 31 ports of call- I doubt any of them can be very long,
considering the length of the cruise!

Wow. Complaining about too many ports of call! And from the intinerary, I'd
say
Mr.Fact's facts are a bit skewed concerning times in port:

Those are some of the longest port times I've seen.
Put on some glasses and post the port times for the World Cruise by
Princess.
Whooosh!!!!!
