Princess Grand Princess Cruise Reviews

We booked an Alaska cruisetour with Princess after lots of research. Have done nearly 30 cruises with various lines including several with Princess. Spent 7 days on a land tour first, which was excellent and ran very smoothly despite the changes of location along the way. We chose the Grand as we wanted a smaller ship and love the wrap around promenade deck on this older class. The smaller ...

We chose this cruise because the Grand Princess was a smaller ship that could turn around in Glacier Bay. Princess advertised that it's specialty was Alaska cruises but if that was their specialty, they have a long way to go.. Princess had a lot of incentives to get you to try their cruise line such as free drink packages and WIFI. The overall ship was fine but they had a LOT of areas that need ...

We had a wonderful time on the Grand Princess for the seven day Alaska cruise out of Vancouver BC and ending in Whittier. This is only our third time cruising and the first with PCL. We thought the ship was beautiful. We had an inside room because we booked fairly last minute and the pricing was excellent. The ship never felt crowded and was a really great size for my 74-year-old mother to ...

First of all, I did a YouTube review video of the ship, entertainment and food. If interested, type in "2023 Grand Princess full ship tour and V-log review - what I loved about the ship." I had been on the ship 20 years ago and was aware this is the oldest ship in the fleet. I was shocked when we boarded as the ship looked brand new. Everywhere we walked on the ship, I could not find any ...

This was our 8th cruise and 2nd time to Alaska (first was on Holland America), first time on Princess. We always heard that Princess does Alaska right and they sure did. We were very fortunate to have excellent weather through out the cruise, so that definitely helped. 1. Food - 3.5 stars (main dining was good, but several times the meat was undercooked and the Indian food was very mediocre, ...

The embarkation was good, when we arrived to our suite we were surprised we had no cover on our balcony and we had all people above able to view us on the balcony. No privacy at all. Only booked three nights for dinner prior to leaving, thinking we could book as we went along. Only able to book 2 nights out of 9 for future meals, so just pot luck if you get in for dinner. The entertainment has not ...

I recently went on an Alaska cruise tour, 7 day cruise with a 4 day land tour, Princess is cutting corners, from the selection and quality of their food to adding bogus charges on your account. They have a big sign on your door to swipe your medallion and win prizes. What they fail to mention is if you swipe your medallion you get a $50 casino charge on your account. The food in the main dining ...

This is a review of my recent cruise on the Grand Princess including the new Premier Level option. We went on back to back weeks from Vancouver to Alaska and back again. We were in a mini-suite. The highs: --The room was nice: large bathroom, plenty of storage, a sitting area with couch and table and a nice balcony. --Room Stewart was great. She went above and beyond. Two examples: ...

This was our 1st cruise and likely last! Our trip started and ended on less than pleasant vibe and for the $8k spent, I don't see why people cruise! We left out of Vancouver BC where 3 other ships were departing which means thousands of people to process in security so 4 hrs were spent in zigzag line. We were thirsty (no water source the entire time) and starving so we tried out the ...

I expected this to be "dated," but was pleasantly surprised with how beautifully appointed everything was. The artwork throughout the ship and in all restaurants and stairwells was beautiful and the piazza was a lovely place to enjoy the ambience. Lots of hot tub options, our favourite one was at the back on the top. The entertainment was top-notch, the food and drink incredible (we loved the 24K ...
