Or, our CRUISE FROM HELL......

We recently went on a cruise to Alaska aboard the new ship STAR, Princess Cruise Lines.  We went with four other very good friends.   We waited 3 years for what we thought would a really fabulous vacation.  We had to reschedule from 3 years ago due to a death in the family.  We were so looking forward to this cruise.

What a disappointment it was!

The STAR may be big and beautiful, but it is totally lacking in service and entertainment.  The variety of entertainment wasn't great and the waiters in the dining room were for the most part RUDE!  This cruise was soooo boring, people were walking around like we were all at a funeral!

The 3 day land tour at the end of the cruise was awful.  They spend all the time herding you around like cattle or making you wait hours to be transferred to another location again.  Things are not planned out well, not to mention they keep your luggage overnight at 2 locations and you don't have access to it.

By the time you get to the airport, you wonder has anybody gone through it?  Not a good way to handle luggage!

The other two couples we traveled with are not happy either.  We wouldn't recommend Princess Cruise Lines to an enemy, if we had any that is.

Our advice...cruise with another line!!!
