Princess Family Cruises Reviews

We chose the trip for one reason - get back to cruising (Australia only reopened to cruise from Apr'22). Although a 20-year-old ship, it was spotlessly clean, well maintained and functional. In fact we would rate this ship above Ruby Princess, the last ship we travelled prior to pandemic shutdown. Staff were all fabulous - they are all friendly and approachable; they remember your ...

Post-Covid, the cruise industry is not what is was before. It is evident that cost-saving measures have been implemented and ships are not full, whether from the difficulty of getting sufficient crew or as a covid precaution is hard to say. Our cruise began with two BIG hiccups. The ship docked late (we were told) and so passengers disembarked late and new passengers were left standing outside ...

We have enjoyed sailing on Princess in the past, however, this cruise was the worst ever. The cruise port was a disaster from the moment we got off the bus from the airport. The people at the entrance to the cruise port said go stand in line. We asked where the line was and were told over there. Over there turned out to be a circuitous line with over a thousand people in it. There were NO ...

June 19-29, 2022 This was a 10-day cruise roundtrip from San Francisco to Alaska, aboard the Ruby Princess. This was my 7th cruise on Princess, 17th cruise overall, but first since Covid and first on the Ruby. We had bus transportation from our travel agent from Sacramento to the ship – it’s nice not having to worry about driving or parking (or paying for parking), nor having to worry ...

It's probably been about 20 years since I've taken a Princess Cruise, so I had a lot to review on this cruise. The first thing is that all Princess Cruises Ships now use the Medallion instead of a cabin key card and that process works well. As soon as you get close to your door, you can hear it unlock and it allows you easy entry. The Medallion Class app that is downloaded on your cell phone is a ...

Having returned from a disappointing trip and doing some online research, it's come to my attention that apparently the Crown Princess has been limping along for some time, and the company knows about it but is continuing to run cruises rather than fix the mechanical problems on the ship. I'll give our cabin 5 stars because of the SERVICE we received, but we noticed that the cabin itself showed ...

We sailed with a few other couples and chose this Regal Princess sailing for the itinerary. We had not visited Montenegro or Turkey and they were definite highlights for us. In February - 4 months earlier, we had been on our first Celebrity cruise and were very impressed, making us wonder how we'd feel about returning to Princess. This was our 3rd cruise on the Regal Princess and we had a ...

The itinerary will change and it affects your Alaska ports. It’s a known issue but the company withholds information so you can’t cancel. The food is also awful. Nothing like Princess of earlier years. Horrible. The kid experience is good except food options and quality for the kid food is limited. The rooms are nice and service is good…except wait times were up to two hours for delivery. ...

This was our first time cruising. My daughter graduated college so we decided to make a family vacation out of it. We had 11 people with us and we where all excited to see Alaska and spend time together. We got lots of together time as we where booked to have 4 stops and only really had 2 due to ship engine maintenance. It was disappointing to say the least. We took the cruise to also experience ...

This cruise was chosen for Glacier Bay and I was not disappointed. I found the Crown Princess to be a beautiful ship and easy to navigate especially with the "Explore the Ship" function within the Medallion app. I was disappointed that the itinerary was changed dropping Ketchikan and shortening Juneau. But even with these changes, I chose to stay on the cruise and I'm really happy that I did. ...
