Our first cruise back after Covid-19
The good - Medallion system is excellent and the phone application works well. Wherever on the ship we were we could be found for servicing drinks and food. All the staff were to the great Princess standards. The food and selection was great and we used both specialty restaurants and rate them both highly. Also the pizzas from Alfredo's in Sabatini's ...
Have been on 19 cruise with Princess but this the worst ever. Besides the Covid which hubby got, and we do not blame them as a lot of protocols but could do better. The weather, we know beyond their control, missed three ports, but compensated. The real issue was the lack of honest communications. Got to Melbourne finally after three changes to date and change to itinerary. Meant people who had ...
Booked this cruise months ago when the booking re opened here in Australia.
Wish I had booked something longer as just settled in and then off again. 3 Nights way too short.
The embarkation process was a breeze, much easier and faster than ever before. The crew were so welcoming and glass to be back.
The ship was immaculately clean and empty. Only about 70% booked so easy to get a seat by ...
Our first cruise post - covid, and with a new cruise line for us. We really didn't pick Princess, it picked us, at it fit within our travel plans to QLD. That said we were very excited to try Princess, and we have a couple of Elite Princess friends.
Starting at the beginning, the embarkation process was a breeze at Brisbane (the trip to the terminal though is less inspiring). The only thing to ...
We originally booked this cruise to have a break from work as my husband and I are self-employed. You can't help but relax on this beautiful ship. However, my head agency (I'm a travel agent), made this cruise our conference cruise. So this worked in really well for me.
The crew on the ship are so happy to be back. They were so welcoming and nothing was a problem. They would all say "Hello" as ...
This was our first cruise back with Princess since Covid. We have sailed many times with them before. Firstly let me say that the crew were great and boarding and disembarkation were a dream. (as usual) Our room was a balcony and was very comfortable although, as usual no sofa. The shower was tiny and allowed for no movement. Formalities to do with safety were quick and easy.
Whilst we had ...
This could have been a great cruise if the internet connection was working as advertised. The connection was supposed to be able to stream movies and video but could barely load a webpage for most of the trip. The technical support wanted to help but admitted the connection quality was terrible and there was nothing that could be done. Though some may think an enforced break from the internet ...
The cruise was ok, but not a lot of activities for a 50-year-old.
I had 100%prepaid for the cruise in May.
They take your visa onboarding the ship and take out a $100.00 deposit.
On the cruise, I saw the spending being deducted and I could see all the transactions being deducted from my account.
The day after I returned home Princess deducted a further $650.00 from my account.
I ...
This ship can only be weeks away from being scrapped. The public areas are fine but the cabins and public toilets are out of the ark. Flaking grout everywhere you looked.
A BIG gripe was the horrible cheap toilet paper and tissues. There are no air dryers that we found anywhere.
Of the 7 main meals we had in one of the main dining rooms, 5 were bland & tasteless but 2 were good.Nicely ...
Firstly, my wife booked this cruise to surprise me as a 50th Birthday gift to celebrate me turning the big 5.0. What a disaster !
The front desk counter 1 male crew was incredibly rude to my wife, and also what seemed like racist intent. She came back to the room crying and I told her to call the Manager immediately which she did. She got hung up on, so she had to ring back again. Nothing was ...
