Not the princess I sailed on 6 years ago. Had a reserve suite and the only Benefit was the dining room where the food and staff were fantastic. As for the rest forget about it. No such thing as priority boarding. Same line for everyone. Forget the sanctuary. Went right to it and was told it sold out in minutes. Also had Premier package. Priority reservations for specialty restaurants is not a ...
We chose this cruise for three reasons. The first was a lifelong desire to see the Panama Canal. The second was how much we enjoyed our Alaska Cruise Tour with Princess before COVID. The third was - COVID was no longer a concern to us!
First of all, don't get me wrong - we LOVED the cruise. The staff and crew were amazing, cheerful and helpful (especially our cabin attendant Czar). The food was ...
Princess, what happened? I’ve been on close to 40 cruises, including over 100 days with princess, and this was by far the worst cruise I’ve ever taken. When I go on a cruise, I choose the itinerary, the food, and entertainment as reasons to cruise. Halfway through this trip to Panama Canal, I have been let down so much that for the first time, I am actually posting how disappointed I am on a ...
I chose this cruise because it was a good value for the money I paid for it. It was my 2nd time on Princess. I would cruise with this line again but it is not my favorite. The shore excursion to the Waimea Canyon in Kaua'i was awesome, as was the one to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in Hilo which included a stop at the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory. There were too many nights in which I ...
Greetings from aboard the Crown Princess! We are on a 16-day cruise to Hawaii, RT San Francisco.
I boarded the ship with great trepidation. The Cruise Critic comments about the ship and the itinerary caused me to think that perhaps we'd made a grave error in booking this cruise. However, that angst was put to rest the first day. While more traditional (vs. glitzy) in appearance, the ship ...
I just got off the Regal a few days ago and here are my thoughts.
Me: 61 years young, active, not quite retired, Midwesterner. I traveled with my brother and sister-in-law. I chose this itinerary for the ports that included Roatan and Belize, because I wanted to snorkel. Also, this cruise offered a reasonable fare for a solo balcony, my first time for that. This cruise is my last as a Platinum ...
This was our 6th Princess cruise. The last one we were on was one of the first after covid, 700 passengers
We has our flights arranged through ez air. We were among last to board, but we did board!
First time of rain in Ft Lauderdale, first port in Cays was cancelled so we were at sea til Wednesday. First 2 days it seemed staff was discombobulated. Food was ok but nothing special. We ...
This was a family trip that I was told I would attend. I only ever went on a cruise one other time(carnival) really didn't like that one as I felt it was for much younger folks than myself. This cruise was a little different. I liked most of the shows and on board entertainment. The food was ok, only used the buffet so rarely had actually hot food. The cabin I was in was pretty small. It was okay ...
We sailed on the Regal Princess out of Galveston last week in a BW obstructed extended balcony. there was no obstruction looking straight out. The room was clean, comfortable and the cabin steward did a fine job. We made all 3 port stops and had beautiful weather. Smooth sailing the entire week.
The MDR food continues to disappoint. The quality in meats, butter, cheesecake etc is so much ...
Words to describe our first time on Princess: average, uninspired, meh, just ok. We usually cruise on Royal Caribbean or Norwegian, but since Crown Princess had a sailing out of SF during our ski week, we decided to try it. Going in, I knew it would be a smaller ship without the activities of an Oasis class RC ship. What I didn't expect was how average it all was. Nothing blew us away.
We ...
