Don you are so right. There’s nothing like walking on these mega ships holding 6-7000 passengers and you’re walking in the wrong direction and have to walk all the way back 🫤😩
I love this series!!! Another tip I like is when you get in elevators, look at reflection in glass so you know which way to go to hit button for floor you are going to. Quite a few elevators its only on one side.
Some preparation can definitely make a real difference in making the most out of your tip and minimizing wasted time and frustrations/stress. Doing your homework can help a lot!
You’re absolutely right! I was scouting out a 7 nite Canadian maritimes cruise on HAL. I took one look at the ship & said nope! The bathroom looked like a motel 6. Too old! I booked another cruise on a newer ship
Good call, some are so darn big it’s easy to get lost.. or even to the point where you can’t find a spot you know you’ve been to before .. why i don’t like the big boys..
And if its a ship that has been around for a few years make sure its an up to date deck plan as many ships get modernised with new amenities put in and even have complete sections removed like Skywalkers nightclub from Grand Princess.
Familiarize yourself before using the elevator closest to your cabin. There’s usually opposite hallways - one may be even numbers, the other odd. Also, our laundry facility felt further away than the map showed - use one of your rolling suitcases to transport your clothes.
Since we take princess all the time, we know where things are. We also help people who are lost. But after 6 days and you can't find the buffet, that's on you!!! Plus even cabins on one side, odds on the other. And if you don't know the difference between between odds and evens, we'll I can't help you. Actually happened. I laughed all night
