Have traveled on Princess 33 times....the Crown Princess 3 times. Overall the food was quite good, hover Sabratini"s resturant was a big disapointment this time. The bed linnen was rairly changed and the cabin was not very clean. The ship is very "shop worn", it needs a complete referb.!, I will still go on Princess as I enjoy the "perks" one gets with ELITE statis. The ports were good, especially Rio! We enjoyed the cruise director, port lectures and the great entertainment. The workers in the coffee bar were very friendly. Embarkation and disembarkation were a nightmare.....custom agents took their old sweet time with the paperwork so we were all sitting around for hours. In rio we got up early to go on our tour.....however the agents took their time in clearing the ship....so our 8am tour didn't start until 11:30.....big disapointment! We were still our on tour at 8pm [instead of 4:30}....so we wern't able to have dinner until 9pm! TO LATE!!!!!
