THIS SHIP SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PERMITTTED TO LEAVE PORT. INTERESTED IN CONTACTING FELLOW PASSENGERS ABOARD THIS CRUISE. PERHAPS TOGETHER WE CAN HELP TO KEEP EXPERIENCES LIKE THIS FROM HAPPENING TO FELLOW CRUISERS. AS I AM SURE YOU WILL AGREE THIS WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A SHAKEDOWN CRUISE AND WE WERE THE GUINEA PIGS. NOT ONLY WAS THE ENTIRE CRUISE UNCOMFORTABLE AND STRESSFUL BUT IN SOME RESPECTS, DANGEROUS. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL TO WRITE THE CEO OF PREMIER AND SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES AS I INTEND TO DO. CONTACT ME AT RDBRN@AOL.COM

I will be taking this cruise Dec 13-20 with my family. Please tell me what happened. I'm already concerned about the Hurricane Mitch damage to Honduras and the rest of Central America. I've been on 2 other wonderful cruises. 1 on the Big Red Boat, and 1 on the SS Norway. We were looking forward to cruising on a smaller ship and
the deal we got may have been to good to be
TRUE!. I will be greatful for any info.
Please contact me at Lucysnoopy@hotmail.com.

Just returned from a 23 day cruise on the Rembrandt, a premier cruise line ship. It was a trip from hell. The service was terrible. The cruise director Linda Konarski was a joke and should be fired. The news letter she put out was always wrong and she always made excuses. The so called shows she put together were sickening. The 70% passengers in the 70-80 year age group were offered ballet lessons, crochet lessons, book and ship lectures and other activities by volunteers. We ner sw so many movies in our cabin in our life due to the lack of activites offered. The food was always cold and meals were always a 2-2/2 hour ordeal. Food was fair but dessert wer awful. Ports of call were not tourist oriented. Purser staff and port tour director were not knowledgeable.Always pushed their tours and never relayed good transportation deals in the ports. Our air line laker charter was a joke to be called an airline. Premiere really gave a cheap cheap cheap, and I don't mean pricewise cruise. Only 2 laundry machines were abailable for 1033 passengers. Anyway this was the worst cruise we ever took in our lives and we have been cruising for 30 years. Don't think we will ever cruise with Premiere again.

Sorry to hear of your bad experiences. A review of the Ocean Breeze by TravelPage editor Mark Goldberg on this site at http://cruisepage.com/ships/pr_seabr.htm may be of interest to you. He has also written reviews of other Premier ships that may give you a feel for how the line operates.
