Princess Family Cruises Reviews

We were excited to sail to Hawaii and back over the Christmas & New Year’s holidays. We chose Princess because the dates aligned with our schedule, and they sailed in and out of Los Angeles, so we wouldn’t have to deal with airports during the busy holiday season. We knew from previous sailing experience that Princess doesn’t have the “best” food, however, we did have an expectation that it ...

I've been on Princess before and enjoyed it and, this cruise fit the bill of covering two holidays and, as a bonus, friends were also going. To begin with, I've been on almost 40 cruises this was the first ship I've been on where there was no sofa or chair in a balcony cabin. There was only the desk chair. Here's what was wrong with my cabin: 1. No place to sit 2. The bed was extremely ...

We were so excited to do a two week cruise to Hawaii for our anniversary. We have cruised most of the major lines but never Princess so that added to our excitement. Quick summary - it is an overall decent ship that, for me was completely soured by my poor SPA experience Use of technology - 5/5 Beds - 5/5 Room comfort - 1/5 Focus on disease prevention - 1/5 SPAs - 0/5 ...

My husband (John) and I recently took our son, DIL, and (most importantly!) our two preteen grandchildren on a 15-day holiday cruise to Hawaii aboard the Crown Princess. We picked this cruise because of the itinerary and the fact that we had large credits from the canceled cruise segment of our Alaska cruise/tour (three of us tested positive for COVID-19 at the last lodge), which had to be used by ...

An epic 3 years in the making, sadly the Grand is showing its 24 years of age and isnt in the same league as the newer ships. We sailed from Melbourne and down Port Phillip Bay on a balmy Melbourne evening, I have driven around it 100's of thime but this was the first time sailing the Bay, through the Heads at Queenscliffe and into Bass Straight. An uneventful transit to Cape Reinga which we ...

Sailed on Sapphire to Antarctica in December 2022. Overall, a good cruise despite cancellations due to poor weather. We missed Punta Arenas, Port Stanley, and Cape Horn. However, we were lucky to see wonderful land- and seascapes in Antarctica, going further south than is usually possible. At the time, the captain said we’d made the record for southernmost pizza delivery, as the ship was able to ...

We did the Western Caribbean out of Galveston on December 18 on the Ruby Princess, and after something in excess of two-and-one-half decades cruising, mostly on Princess but other lines as well, this was, by far, the least inspiring and most disappointing cruise we have ever done. As always on a Princess cruise, the front-line folks - our Cabin Steward, Waiters and Assistant Waiters, the ...

REASONS FOR PICKING: 1. Never seen Panama Canal or South America before, so those were 2. Needed a holiday season cruise and on short notice. 3. Have cruised many times, but never with Princess. Wanted to see how it stacked up for vs its sister line Carnival or vs other premium lines like Holland WHAT WENT RIGHT: 1. Planning the cruise was easy 2. Getting on and off the ship was ...

All hat and no cattle 10 day Caribbean Princess December 2022 We have done 9 modern cruises - Norwegian x 3, Royal Caribbean x2, Holland America x2, MSC x1, and two off brand small boats--Amazon and Nile rivers. #10 is our first Princess. We were underwhelmed. Princess Cruises has invested a massive amount of money in big brother tech, and it is worth mentioning. This medallion is ...

We selected this cruise when our full transit Panama Canal cruise was cancelled in 2021. Although we were not thrilled to cruise on an older ship, and had heard negative reviews about her, we decided to give it a try. The itinerary was supposed to include Jamaica, Costa Rica, Cartagena, Panama Canal, and Grand Cayman. Due to a Cuban refugee rescue we missed Jamaica, and due to weather ...
