My first impression of Princess cruises was at the LGA airport. There were hundreds of passengers waiting for the shuttle bus to the ship which was docked in the container port of red hook in Brooklyn. Ugliest port ever. The wait was over an hour for me but many had been waiting hours. I went down a level and by chance the first bus had arrived. No communication and just chaos.
At the port the terminal was empty so I checked in quickly and got on board. The first impression from the outside view is rust bucket. An equal amount of rust and white paint chipped. On the inside it’s very old like it’s passengers. Wow I forgot that the Princess passenger profile is old , not newly retired but nearly dead.
However my obstructed view cabin is lovely, clean and decent view out the window. The outside of the window has quite a few very dead bugs. I called guest services and someone will clean it when we are in port.
The buffet was fine but much smaller than Ncl , Rccl or Holland America. Dinner in the Palm restaurant was good, and service reasonable with about an hour to get thru dinner.
I have yet to see entertainment but the port consultant is so boring
Hope this helps
Marcia
