My husband and I went on this Alaska cruise as a celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary (which occurred in 2020, so it was actually our 53rd). We have been on other cruise lines; this was our first with Princess. We were so impressed with our trip that we wanted to share this information.
Our stateroom was very clean and spacious....and we loved our balcony! Great to have the balcony ...
We chose Princess for Alaska because we wanted to do land and sea; Denali and Glacier Bay National Park. Princess was impressively responsive in regards to assisting after flights got canceled.We had a mini suite room onboard and it was definitely the best cabin we have ever had - spacious with a beautiful balcony, which you 100% want for an Alaskan cruise if you can at all swing it.
On the ...
Since we are older, we wanted to take our children and grandchildren on a land tour of and cruise along Alaska. We chose the Sapphire Princess because it had a Grand Suite that could accommodate all 13 of us when we got together. We have sailed on various cruise lines and had different suites. The Grand Suite on the Sapphire Princess was far and away the best suite in which we have stayed. ...
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary on this bucket list trip. We had sky high expectations and were not disappointed. This was our first time cruising on Princess and will definitely cruise with them again. Our itinerary took us to both great natural wonders at Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay National Park as well as fun adventures like dog sledding in Skagway and whale watching in Juneau. ...
Have cruised with them 9 times previous. Shocking lack of cheerful, helpful employees. Expected service at least equal to prior cruises. Small stateroom amenities have always been a nice perk. Forgot shower cap, had to get one from front desk, same with extra washcloth. No omelette station at the buffet, only cold eggs (scrambled, sunny side up, etc.). Specialty restaurants low on staffing, ...
I am appalled by the amount of negative reviews. We took 6 days California coast cruise and have nothing even slightly bad to say, maybe it’s because we don’t feel entitled. Let me break this down
1. Service - every crew member, and I mean every single one, greets you with smile. People who work their butts off 12 hours shifts for 6-9 months still keep a smile on their faces. Room gets cleaned ...
This was a bucket list trip for me. We embarked in Buenos Aires and took it all the way to Los Angeles, around Cape Horn. The scenery around Cape Horn is truly spectacular. The cruise was 32 days.
Even though my wife and I are in our early 70s, I think we were probably younger than the average passenger on the ship. There was one family that had two children. If there were other children ...

On March 30, 2022, we booked Princess cruise tour H304/ 19 days – from 1/30 to 2/20/2023 includes flight times, for (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile). Following is our personal experience with Princess. We choose Princess since we have journeyed with them before, with happy experience. This time it was unpleasant experience, and I rate them “C”.
Our reasons are ...
We were on the 32 day "Andes and Cape Horn Grand Adventure" cruise around S. America. It was a very enjoyable cruise with a relaxed pace. Many of the port stops are at commercial ports/cities with not a lot to see; you have to travel to see the main cities/sites. Unfortunately, this was not communicated and understood.
The ship is due to go in to drydock for maintenance shortly after the cruise ...
We are Platinum level Princess cruisers. We chose this cruise primarily for the itinerary which included a Land Tour to Machu Picchu followed by a cruise around Cape Horn and Antarctica. Unfortunately, that itinerary was in flux and cut back before and during the trip. We've written a long, detailed letter to Princess' Executive team. An abbreviated version follows, which I've called "The ...
