We are a couple in our early forties and chose this cruise for two reasons. Firstly, we had taken a cruise with P&O two years ago which was particularly average. Secondly, we felt that Princess did not actively encourage children due to its lack of giant water slides and variety of kids' clubs. We do like children, but prefer a relaxing holiday in the company of adults - and this opinion was ...
Had never cruised before and wanted to guarantee hot weather in February.
We booked a suite (B104 - Mallorca Suite), which turned out very nice indeed. The suite comprised a lounge, a bedroom and a bathroom which had a bath with shower above, rather than a stand-up shower, which worked out better for us.
There was lots of room in all of the rooms and there were no issues with storage, as ...
We chose this cruise due to the ports of call and the countries this cruise took us.
Overall the cruise was fantastic and we really enjoyed ourselves on the Sapphire Princess.
The shore excursions were a bit hit and miss with some very good, some average and one very poor due to the lack of English the tour guide knew. He was a tad lazy and repeated himself with different information several ...
I was surprised that I had a great time on this cruise, even though I was told by friends that the average age of guest on the Princess would be 65+ (I’m 38). The entertainment was fantastic, great shows every night and never the same, they also have outdoor movie sessions at night, great service from staff, variety of food choices from buffet to fine dining. The Princess also had art gallery ...
Cruise was chosen to celebrate my birthday. In overall, we like it because of awesome weather. However, if you are looking for great entertainment and food, you are on wrong cruise. It was OK. Food had very limited choices and to the day 12 it was very much repetitive. Entertainment is very weak. Two good were marriage match and production shows. Other than that it was literary nothing to do on ...
Chose the cruise for the itinerary. Wonderful ports. The food never disappoints. Cabin service was great. The entertainment was varied. My favorite is always the production numbers and Secret Silk was outstanding. I would have liked the others to be a bit longer.
The ship seemed to have issues. There were a number of leaks with buckets around to catch the water. There were power issues in ...
Of all the princess cruises I’ve been to, this ranks one of the lowest. The food was mediocre. Service mediocre. Tour excursion disappointing. We booked the phi phi island excursion ahead of time because of the famous maya bay. We were told that it’s closed and the excursion will stop at Bamboo island instead. We cancelled that excursion and booked James Bond island tour instead. Found out that ...
Our cruise started with a 6 day escorted tour of Cambodia followed by a night in Singapore so we were ready for some relaxation. We arrived at the dock and our cases were offloaded by Princess staff, no queues, and we went straight through to the desks, again no queues, and were on board within 10 minutes. When we arrived at our cabin (balcony, Baja deck)our suitcases were already waiting, so we ...
I chose princess cruises because I had cruised with them before in Alaska and enjoyed it.
I wanted to experience parts of Asia. We enjoyed a suite on the 10th floor which was lovely. The sofa was a bit worn. Our cabin attendant Stephen was very good.
We mostly ate at Sante Fe Restaurant which we enjoyed. The waiters were excellent. We did attend the buffet and it was acceptable. Bar service ...
We wanted to visit those ports that were listed on itinerary! We didn’t like the tendering to shore n back. The line was too long!
Weather was not great, hot humid and the sea air smelled like fishy! Time to spend on shore was too short!
Got sea sick from the cabin being the last end of ship! Horrible cabin room design for disabled wheelchair accessible shower! Shower did not drain n ...
