Trip report

jbond · September 12, 2006

I can't remember the cabin #, but it was a balcony and just about mid ship.

We are pretty good sailors, never had a problem. We didn't have a problem on TP, it was just a very rough ride. Felt like a drunk several times staggering down the hallways. I can understand why Renaissance went belly up. R3 & R4 are really not that old, at least when Princess took them over. The showroom/theatre was definitely old style, the only good seats were on the front row. I thought the dining room was nice and intimate, but again the Panorama Buffet was 1970's. The bars were my biggest complaint, I have almost as much bar space in my house. :shocked: Do they still have that Mickey Mouse Piano Bar that seats about six people? But as you said, the service was first class throughout the ship.

:cool: Yes I think they still have that tiny piano bar. Not much to it. I really liked the Sapphire Princess because they had alot of venues for many different shows of you didn't like the main show after dinner. :cool:

I think that Princess has the best Piano Bars, TP excepted, and great pianist. We spend a lot of time, before and after dinner, listening to the piano music.

Hulagirl. We were given this info about the new ships at the captains party and they did say the dimensions were smaller, very close to the TP. :cool:
