Good Points
Are there any?
Bad Points
Terrible charter flight.
Overcrowded ship.
Small cabins, no comfortable chairs on small balcony.
Food not sufficient for large appetites. Service in restaurant slow.
General Comments
We flew on Thomass Cook charter to Miami before we emabraked on our Princess Cruise. This is the worst flight we have ever been on, and everyone we spoke to was of the same opinion. The seats were cramped (I am slim), very little leg room. Most people were awake all night and walking about as it was so uncomfortable. Sea Princess was overcrowded, seats on deck were virtually full (unless one got up at the crack of dawn), seats in the shade were at a premium and usually next to the air conditioning outlet. The cabins were small compared to other Princess ships we had been on (this being our ninth cruise). Food was not as good as on previous cruises, and "any time dining" had long queues on most nights, and as for having a table for two, one always had to wait and was given a pager. The service in the restaurant was very slow. We will never go with Princess again.
