Besides, after reading their negative reactions to the Coral Princess (Panama Canal) excursion to be the exact opposite of the same cruise we took last April, I wouldn't bother reading any of their other reviews.

Besides, after reading their negative reactions to the Coral Princess (Panama Canal) excursion to be the exact opposite of the same cruise we took last April, I wouldn't bother reading any of their other reviews. I wasn't writing for you. I was writing for my grandchildren. If you would read further, especially my comments about what to expect on a Grand Circle tour to Egypt (linked from the review page), you would find I wrote that in the first person, as it originally was written for folks who had asked for that type information. Quite frankly, when I went to grammar school, writing in the first person was discourage as egotistical. Obviously you stopped reading the Panama review after a paragraph or two, because it is apparent that you missed these remarks: "It must be understood, however, that Grandma Bert and Grandpa Roy did indeed enjoy this cruise, as they have all their cruises. They noticed only very few differences in terms of quality and service on the Coral Princess from their previous three Carnival cruises and their one Norwegian Cruise Lines voyage a few years ago." You also would have found there were many other things we loved about the Princess cruise, and you would have seen that I summed up the cruise with a paragraph that started, "It was another wonderful cruise for your grandparents. While Grandma and Grandpa do not understand why some people hate Carnival, they do have some insight into why people like Princess"... Several months ago I received an e-mail from Princess in which they said they were upgrading their mattresses in the mini-suites and offering a choice of pillows. Let's see, do you think I was the only one who complained? An even earlier review posted and linked here by someone else of the Coral Princess Panama voyage noted a problem with pillows. In that case, the reviewer said he (she?) was able to get better pillows. People frequently read reviews to learn the ins and outs of the cruise, what to expect, what to look for, how to get what one pays for (there's that third person again). When I write a review, firstly, it it for my six grandchildren to enjoy. Then it is to inform others who may wish to take the cruise. I'm glad you enjoyed your Princess cruise. We did too You would know that, had you read far enough. --Roy Cochrun |
