Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

It promised to be a memorable cruise, and Norway didn’t disappoint at all. The slightly damp air was no problem, adding to the pure freshness of the air. On the sixth day I went down with covid and the following morning was isolated after a positive test and remained in isolation until the end of the voyage – it wasn’t seriously bad just a fever but disabling nonetheless. So a few words of what it ...

I have actually sailed on the Sky Princess twice this year, and waited until after the second cruise to write a review. I wasn't sure if I was just getting a poor experience due to my first time being in the Easter holiday, or if it was just this particular ship! I've sailed with Princess several times over the years, and have always found them to be excellent in terms of service, food, ...

Just back from the Norway fjords. Happy to be cruising again. But maybe it is still too early as the cruise lines ramp up again. First day out, the Captain said because the engines were not working right, we would be late to first port (apparently previous cruise the engines were not working right either). It did not seem like the ship has its full crew back. Certainly a shortage of servers in the ...

I chose this cruise based on a lifetime wish to see the Norwegian fjords, and in that regard it did not disappoint. I had a balcony cabin - it was lovely - spacious and clean. It looked like it had been newly decorated. My room was quiet, I had a fabulous attendant, and I really couldn't ask for anything more regarding the room. The food was just so-so. Not a foodie, so it wasn't a high ...

My wife and I have hither- to been loyal (Platinum level) Princess Cruisers and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience from both the UK and The USA. This ship is both comfortable and beautiful - the biggest we have sailed on in over 15 years cruising. Embarkation was relatively smooth at 12.30pm but we missed lunch in the Club Class Dining Room as nobody told us it was open on boarding and we ...

The specialty dining (Bistro Sur La Mer, Sabatini's, Crown Grill, Alfredo's) and their wait staff, and the cabin stewards were excellent. That's where it stops, unfortunately. The rest of the cruise was not. How does the ship/Captain not know when a ship will not fit a channel and has to reroute, thus causing a delay into a port and cancellation of many shore excursions? How does the ...

Having just disembarked from a Norwegian cruise on Sky Princess, need to share some points: Standard balcony cabins quite small compared to other lines (completed 32 cruises) so can compare. Shower curtain on a new ship seems to be a step back in time. Food all good apart from main dining room. Main dining reservation and organisation shambolic with non reserved guests walking in on one side ...

Wanted to try out cruising for the first time so choose cruise from Southampton to Norwegian Fjords. Chose Princess Cruises as modern ship with medallion technology and going at the right time of year. Princess still have issues with the phone app - doesn’t always work and virtually impossible to upload any documents to it from an iPhone. The physical medallion works really well, access to ...

Ship launched end of last year. It looked like it had not been finished. The atrium was bare, no decorations or flowers. The sun areas had no statues or fountains, no ornamental features. Unlike other ships it didn’t have any nice paintings around the ship. Basically it looked bare and unfinished. Staff shortages everywhere, trying to get a drink in a bar was impossible, the staff serving food in ...

We chose this cruise and cruise line believing it to be one of the best !! At port large line for embarking - massive ship so delay expected- but no big issue, thankfully not raining. Welcomed on board by mixed crew - very impressed throughout with them all . Arrived at balcony cabin and impressed at cleanliness within . Met our steward Maurice Fernandez whom throughout provided ...
