I felt that after reading the reviews given so far it didn't paint a proper image of the Royal Princess for future cruisers, so I will give an accurate overview from an experienced cruiser who normally travels with Princess, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. Overview:-Stunning ship from outside and interior. The atrium must be the the most impressive centre point of any ship I have seen and princess ...
We are back from the 14th-16th June 2night cruise. A lot of what we experienced and our thoughts about the Royal Princess are echoed in previous reviews so rather than just repeat what has already been said we will try and highlight other areas . We have done a number of short cruises so knew that we wouldn't get to see or experience everything however for us we saw this as an opportunity to ...
I have just returned from a two night break to expereince the new cruise liner, that the Duchess of Kent will be opening. The videos of the cruise look amazing but actually when you finally do embark after the chaos queing its disappointing!! It doesn't have the wow factor at all. The promenade isn't what i thought, a few shops here and there.
If you have children under 3yrs they can not use the ...
First, we arrived in Houston, on Jan 12th, and looked and looked for Princess people. We finally found the table with 2 people hidden under the escalators. On the table, were many paddles that had PRINCESS printed on them. But, no people to hold the paddles up and direct pasengers.
We checked in and were assigned bus #5. We were told, would be an hour to 2 hours. Then, we had to ...
We sailed on a seven day Western Caribbean Cruise which immediately followed the "cruise to no where." As such, the Crown Princess just completed its 48 hour sanitation and cleaning.
Embarkation - We arrived the night before the cruise and stayed at the Embassy Suites near Port Everglades. Ended up with free transportation from the hotel to the Port, arriving at the Terminal at approximately ...
sailed from Southampton to Guernsey and Laharve France. Cost was £948 for Three days. This was our first and and did not know really what to expect apart from high standards of service and exquisite cuisine as we had been told by other cruisers.
Well what a shock we had instore! Very disappointed in the cruise as a whole!
very little entertainment provided throughout the day, We were ...
We have always enjoyed cruising with Princess and this last little mini-cruise really topped the list. We decided that to get even closer to reaching the Elite level, we would take this cruise. We booked 2 insides and we were very luckily upgraded to Caribe 752, an aft penthouse category. We were astonished at the size of the suite of course but to be able to stand on the balcony and to see the ...
Before I give the review, we are very much Go with the Flow cruisers. There is always something that's going to happen that may upset you, but you are on a cruise ship to have fun!
We booked a five day Princess cruise for various reasons. One, we had sailed on the Ruby early last year and enjoyed that very much. The Crown is a sister ship. Two, we were taking my 19 year old daughter and her ...
Arrived at the Port of Vancouver extra early for our one-night repositioning cruise to seattle. We have learned our lesson from previous one-night cruises. They call it 'Black Saturday'. Four large ships in port at the same time. Although there is a bit of disorganization, the staff did their best. We were told our ship was late in disembarking, and actually departed late. Vancouver is an ...
Booked the 1 day Pacific Coastal Cruise for my friend and I mid April. We are both first time cruisers.
Embarkation - NIGHTMARE, gangway problems at the port caused major backup. 3 ships were embarking at one time (Coral, Sapphire and a Holland American ship) We got at the port at 1:50 and didn't get on the ship until 4:10.
Ship - The Sapphire Princess is in very good shape. Very clean and ...
