I also benefited little from the shows. There were the classic magicians, jugglers, singers, musicians (acclaimed but especially by the Americans, the majority on board, the main target of the musical choices). There were 3 formal nights over the 14 days of the cruise. On board, the majority of passengers enjoy these events and almost look forward to them. A small part of them, however, are beginning to find this outdated. I think Princess will gradually lose these passengers, but will keep the overwhelming majority of its clientele by not changing anything.
I used the swimming pools a lot more, taking advantage of the fact that they were less frequented at the beginning or the end of the day. The water was slightly heated. Enough to make entering the water easy and the lengths pleasant, but not enough to satisfy a lot of passengers, finding it too cold.
I am always confused by these people who seem to confuse swimming pools and their washing machine: they dive fully dressed into the water and stay there, without moving too much. One of the passengers even used to keep his clothes and shoes on to immerse himself in swimming pools or hot tubs…
Princess took advantage of this transatlantic to maintain its swimming pools. They were therefore closed for several days in turn. The longest intervention was for the Retreat, which was closed for almost a week.
My cabin was right in front of the Retreat, so I had a great opportunity to enjoy its pool and to take a quick look to see if it was uncrowded, and if I could go swimming calmly. Above all, I could see that it was closed…
I was in a balcony cabin, in perfect condition and very functional. Not many electrical outlets, but a USB plug on each side of the bed, in the foot of the bedside lamp. The bathroom and the main closet are arranged in such a way that we have a sort of dressing room, without it taking up too much space in the cabin. Good idea. But suddenly, the wardrobe has no door and its contents are visible when you enter the cabin.
