Arrived day prior to sailing and stayed at the Best Western, San Pedro. Great accommodations. Free shuttle to port next morning. Arrived at 11:00am and after clearing boarding formalities we were in the buffet enjoying lunch by 11:45am. Luggage in cabin at 1:00pm.
We selected Any Time dining in the MDR shared tables most evenings. Did not wait once.
Food and selection choice was good. Did ...
We didn't get a chance to explore LA not enough time the arrangement were great.
The best part was the embarkation and disembarkation process was smooth it was about 30 mins off however smooth in total.
The Ship, the Cabins & Dining area were very clear and everyone was very polite and courteous waiting on us for our every need.
We only made it to about 2 Entertainment shows our time was ...
We have gone to Hawaii on Princess before and had a great experience. We wanted to go again and explore more.
We had Princess arrange our flight and travel to the ship. This went very smoothly. We did wait at the airport for about 1 hour because our flight arrived at approximately 10:00 a.m and embarkation was not until 1:00 supposedly.
When we arrived at the Embarkation facility, it was ...
I did this cruise 2 years ago and had a great time. This time everything was changed.
They said the ship was newly renovated but what they really did was add 100 staterooms. The result was less seating on the promenade deck inside. They also changed the menu which affected the dining rooms and the buffet. The quality took a dive with a less appealing menu and an addition of things like ...
No Airplanes , stateroom great , Glen did a beautiful job. Beds great
Bathroom and services were Excellent .
I was in a suite and it was as usual excellent with water, ice ,fruit , canapés, kept full at all times . If we needed anything extra all we had to do was ask. no problems with anything in suite R 410 . I had seen many negative reports , that were not true.
they did a complete ...
From the time we got to the port, checked in, went through security and boarded the ship, to the 15 days onboard and the disembarkation, everyone was friendly,helpful and made it very easy for us as first time cruisers. The variety of food offered in the buffet was great, and while there were a few options that were over cooked, they were far and few between. The bar personnel were beyond great, ...
We chose this cruise because friends of ours saw it online and wanted to go to Hawaii. We departed from San Pedro. Departure was great. Long Beach is lovely. We were on board in no time at all. Smooth sailing! Weather was not the best, very cold in California. Disembarkation was also not a problem. Princess does that well. The ship was not in top form. The hot tubs had barely any jet power ...
We chose this cruise to travel to Hawaii. Being our first timebto Hawaii we wanted to see more than one island.
At the time of this booking Princess was the only cruise line we could find that sailed round trip from California.
We had a decent time but the entertainment onboard was awful especially the Atomic Party Band. The entertainment of various classes like Spanish lessons and ukulele ...
We chose a 16 day cruise to Hawaii to celebrate my wifes 50th birthday.
The ship ( Emerald) is 12 years old but it was fine for our needs.
Food:
The buffet had choices and always found something to eat.
The 24/7 cafe is very good as was the burgers and fries by the pool.
We had a great time relaxing on the sea days to / from Hawaii. Great Pizza by the pool.
Movies under the stars ...
OK, first of all this is our fourth cruise, our 1st on Princess. We booked this cruise to visit four of my sisters in the Islands. We've sailed on Norwegian, Celebrity and Disney. We flew into the L.A. area a few days early and stayed at the Crown Plaza in Redondo Beach, nice hotel and staff. Nice pier to hike around with good seafood to boot. We took an uber over to the Reagan Presidential ...
