The last time we cruised on Princess was a wonderful Panama cruise in 2017. After that, we decided we were done with cruising for a while until last fall when I saw a cruise leaving Galveston, 7 nights, Western Caribbean. It was in our budget, so we reserved a balcony cabin.
The ship is very beautiful inside, but overall the cruise was quite disappointing, mostly due to the poor quality of ...
Again we started this trip with a drive to Boca Raton and a night at the Holiday Inn Express Boca Raton West. Upon arrival it was raining, so we stopped at Greenwise Market and bought salads for dinner then went back to the hotel to eat in the breakfast area.
In the morning we drove 45 minutes to the cruise port arriving at 9:30 a.m.. We were aware that we would be embarking at pier 21 and ...
We are Long time Holland American Cruisers that took this cruise with Princess due to the timing and destination.
Room: This obstructed view is fine from the view standpoint, it is at the top of the stairs from the promenade, but that was not an issue. The first 4 rooms on this deck including this one are narrower than other rooms and also have the really annoying feature of having two ...
This has our 17th cruise (not all with Princess) so we are not new to cruise ships. This was the worst cruise of all and we will not be sailing with Princess again. Sorry Princess but your services on the cruise have ruined it for us. The first day, we went on the ship tour and went up to the Lotus Spa. I asked about using the sauna/steam room and was told by the female attendant the there would ...
We did the 14 day Asia cruise on the Diamond Princess leaving from Singapore on 5th January and travelling to Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. We chose this trip as we had done a 3 week back to back cruise back in 2016 on the sister ship, the Sapphire Princess which we loved, in particular the Atrium feature of these ships which provide a lovely meeting place for groups to meet up at.
The ...
The Sapphire Princess is in very good shape for an “older” ship. Sure, there were some stains on carpets and chips on tile, but on a whole I was very impressed. We enjoyed the fact that this Princess ship still maintains a full wide wrap-around Promenade deck (with only the need to go up and down a flight at the bow.)
Embarkation: the worst ever. Princess was not prepared for this, although ...
What made this trip was the itinerary!!! I liked that we didn’t have to sign after each purchase with the uncomfortable feeling of needing to tip extra with our special drink and dining package. The ship didn’t feel crowded even though it was at full capacity. The ship was clean and staff was great. Carpets in halls need to be changed or shampooed. My room needed updated blow dryer. My mom had a ...
We chose this cruise because we liked the itinerary. This was our first Princess Cruise and we were disappointed. There were 4 sea days and many of the events focused on encouraging passengers to spend money on spa services. Some of the game events were better appreciated if you could participate in the game by buying some of the game items. We bought Deal/no deal tickets for $50 for 3 ...
We have always booked exclusively for itinerary and not the ship, but now we are going to change that to both. The itinerary was Princess Cays, St. Thomas, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Guadeloupe, and Antigua.
Antigua was such a pleasant surprise and it really stole the show for us! Such a breathtakingly beautiful island with super friendly locals. We took an excursion ...
My wife and I, who are long term Princess cruisers chose the Caribbean Princess because it was the perfect time to sail, right after Christmas and through New Year.
We have been to the Caribbean several times before so we were not really concerned about the itinerary just a warm place to go. We did rent a cabana on Princess Cays which was really nice with A/C and excellent food. Sadly, it was ...
