This was a first Princess cruise. It was typical Western Caribbean and nothing unusual about the ports. The best thing about this cruise were the staff. There was not a staff member who couldn't or wouldn't answer a question. They were always there for you and always wearing a smile. This included waiters, engineers, cabin attendants, everyone. The cabin was pleasant enough but not sure ...
The food was good quality and the drinks were tasty. Specifically the hotdogs and pizza were the best I have had on any cruise ship. There was plenty of seating on the decks, the rooms were clean, and the ship was kept clean and organized. The disembarking and embarking were the easiest and fastest that I have ever had on any cruise. The Crown Grill had one of the best steaks I have ever had. ...
Embarkation and Disembarkation went very smoothly. Not sure if the fact that we arrive late and depart early had anything to do with that, but can't complain about either process.
Ship overall was in good shape. I had not been on a ship this small before, so was not sure what to expect. You can tell its not a "new" ship even though there was a refurb completed last year -- I liked the fact ...
My husband and I were celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary, and this cruise embarked from Ft. Lauderdale (our favorite domestic port) right after our big day.
The ship itself was very nicely decorated. We had a balcony stateroom which had loads of storage space. Our balcony had 2 deck chairs which could be reclined and were comfortable. We had chosen early dining, and were blessed to ...
My wife and I went on our first cruise together on recommendation from family friends who also joined us. From embarking to disembarking the process was extremely smooth. From arriving at port it took less than 20 minutes to get on board. Headed straight up to buffet for lunch. We found the service during the whole to be excellent from the restaurant table service to our cabin staff. Always ...
Traveled with DH on a 14 day Back-to-Back (Eastern Caribbean the first week and Western the second week). Both weeks had come from casino offers & then received the icing on the cake -- a few weeks prior to the cruise, we were offered a great upsell offer to move to a Window Suite for both weeks. Princess only has 3 ships with this option and we wanted to give it a try. Size and perks of a ...
I recently arrived from a Princess Cruise Vacation. This was my first time sailing with Princess and I don't think I will ever go on another Princess ship again. Several things happened during my trip that compared to other cruises are unacceptable. First, I had stated it was my anniversary on the Princess website and upon arrival I see other cabin doors decorated (with Celebrate signs or ...
It was my 10th cruise on Princess and even if the itinerary was perfect for relaxation (B2B 14 days Western-Eastern Caribbean) the ship was a major disappointment.
ROOM (Inside A323)
I was very disapointed with my cabin. I booked through Princess site and was aware that it was a connecting stateroom but not that it was a stateroom with bunk beds on the wall! There was no notification about ...
We chose this cruise because of timing, destination and the ship. Other Princess ships we have sailed on include Royal, Regal and Island. We stayed at the Embassy Suites the night prior to departure and it was perfect. Walking distance to restaurants and last minute shopping, quick and easy Uber ride to port. We departed from Ft. Lauderdale, FL, day at sea, Grand Cayman, Roatan, Honduras, Belize ...
I grew up watching The Love Boat and admiring all the passengers in their elegant clothes. The Princess Cruise Line even has a dress code! Smart casual during the day. I'm not sure if most of the passengers were aware of this fact.
I've recently been on The Norwegian Jade and the Holland Eurodam. The Carribean Princess is similar, but bigger. It had a huge movie screen on the main deck and ran ...
