Ship is beautiful, staff is very friendly, entertainment and food was great. Only problem was that now you need to use the medallion app for pretty much everything and half of the functions did not work! Everyone on the ship was very frustrated. The wifi speed is a joke, I consistently measured download speeds of 0.25 MBPS and upload of 0.14 MBPS on my speedtest app, way too slow to do much of ...
My sister and I had sailed 2 Princess cruises and before she passed I promised to take her daughter on a cruise. Since it was my niece's first cruise she had on compass to judge the trip on and she has a wonderful time. I, however, had sailed with Princess twice before and was able to compare this trip to past ones. The food on this trip was, for the most part, bland at best, with the exception of ...
We decided to take a short cruise to see how safe we feel sailing again. We figured with an Itinerary that started in San Francisco (a short 1.5 hour flight from us) sailed to San Diego and then Ensenada and then back to SF we could always get off the ship and fly back home if we got nervous.
The worst part of the cruise was before we even got on the ship. We had been assigned a boarding time ...
Our experience on the Princess Majestic in most cases was as expected. Entertainment was excellent, our room steward was great, our stateroom kept very clean and as expected for a balcony stateroom. We particularly enjoyed our coffee in the morning from the International Cafe. The pastries were ok, not spectacular. Bar staff, front desk staff, dining room staff all were friendly and helpful. The ...
Always loves Princess and wanted to try out this vessel. Disappointed from day one! Only cruise ever that I have ever complained about. Such a disappointment. Many issues and many unresolved. Cabin Thermostat was not working properly and cabin was extremely hot, muggy and miserable, 90% of the lounges, restaurants, etc were extremely warm/hot and uncomfortable. Not enough cleaning of tables, ...
This was a Valentine gift from my sweet guy! We had been on the Grand Princess before the pandemic and that is what I am comparing my experience. The staff on the Grand were so much more friendly than the Ruby staff. The Ruby staff were pleasant but really didn't seem to go out of their way to be friendly. The food on the Ruby also didn't seem to be as good especially the buffet. The ...
The Staff was fantastic, the food and entertainment needs improvement but know they are still starting up again, the ship is in good shape, I had a balcony cabin and it was well appointed with the much praised comfort of the bed. I want to mention the Ensenada tour to the Casa Dona Lupe, L.A. Cetto & Wine Tasting was not a great tour although they were both nice places there was a lot of standing ...
Pros:
Friendly and attentive staff
Nice pool area with nightly light show
All bars were great with very short wait times
When the app worked (I said when), our drink and food orders came fairly quickly
Nightly shows were good. Comedy show was the BEST!
Cons:
Medallion App - from the beginning of purchasing our cruise, to the end of the cruise, the App had LOTS of ...
I dreaded writing this, but now is not a good time to cruise with Princess.
Staffing is a major challenge.......and it's not that people don't want to work, it's that Princess is keeping it's purse-strings tightly closed. They are clearly shorthanded, and the crew they have are trying their best, but are clearly overworked.
We were told that at times, the galley crew were getting breaks or ...
Ruby was marginal at best. Buffet food is very average and desserts at dinner are so boring and tasteless. They go for colorful and creative looking deserts with no real substance or taste. Many of the staff have no clue about what food they are serving and service is spotty. The embarkation process was not done according to groups like it is intended to be. No one checked or asked about my group. ...
