Default Diamond Princess

The most serious problem, by far, involved Pers. choice dining. We choose
PC dining as a result of all of the talk about the four dining rooms where you
can "dine anytime with whomever you want." Anytme dining to me implies "spur
of the moment".

It does to me, too. And that's what we got a year ago on the Star Princess for
a short cruise. Since we were able to go right into a dining room whenever we
showed up (as a couple), whether we agreed to sit with others or chose to dine
alone, we liked the experience.
It was very handy.

From what I have read more recently, though, it sounds like Personal Choice
dining is imploding. Add this problem to the problem of smoky lounges,
difficulty finding a prime deck chair or theater seat without staking one out
far in advance, high density and marketing policies which fill the ships at the
last moment, and we are avoiding Princess until further notice.
