We chose this cruise for DW's birthday. We'd been to Hawaii before, but this would be a great second half of a B2B.
I tested positive on test day before turn around and DW tested positive the next day (her birthday).
We went to isolation for 11/10 days and thus missed all of Hawaii except what we could see from our balcony. That wasn't much since most of the ports were working ports and not ...
HAWAII!!!! Beautiful. Everything I imagined and more. San Francisco was just as the media describes. Although we arrived a day early and our hotel was in a great location on Nob Hill, we decided to not go out. Embarkation was confusing. It started late and there was a very long line that we waited in for over two hours. The ship did not get underway until after 7 (instead of 4) and there ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to do the 15 day Hawaiian for our 70th birthday. So excited.
Day of embarkation, waited over 2 hours to get into building, thank goodness it wasn't raining (San Francisco).
Ship is small and does need repair.
I think they were very understaffed with this cruise. Our cabin steward and our main dining servers were fantastic. However, the ...
16 of us decided to do this Hawaii Cruise even though most of us have done this cruise at least once in the past. After the 2 year Covid break, we so look forward to this cruise. However, right from embarkation, there were issues...
Long line at the pier. Most passengers were seniors, some with walkers, with wheelchairs. No matter, the line stretched 100+ and we waited for more than an hour. ...
Background Information
This was our 15th Princess cruise (24th overall). We've previously sailed on sister ships Royal, Regal, Sky, and Majestic. With the completion of this cruise, we now reached Elite loyalty status. We had originally been booked on the 3/6 and 3/13 cruises which were subsequently cancelled by Princess when Discovery's launch was delayed. We were rebooked into the 3/27 ...
We booked a 15day cruise to Hawaii. We flew from NJ to San Francisco for the sail away under the Golden Gate Bridge. After standing in line outside for 2 1/2 hours we finally entered the terminal and stood on line some more. Green lane and having the medallion didn’t matter. The sail away was 2 hours late. By this time the wind was freezing and it was raining. The service was good, the food was ...
Second cruise in over 20 years my husband and I went with a group of friends on the maiden voyage of Discovery Princess Ship. Beautiful ship, we had a balcony, which I absolutely love. It extends the room, because the room isn’t that big and the bathroom is like an airplane bathroom.
Since it was the maiden voyage of this new ship, my expectations were maybe too high. When we entered the ship, ...
Worst cruise I have ever experienced. There were ZERO covid precautions/enforcement to help protect us from getting COVID-19. Princess' lack of concern for infecting guests gave my family COVID-19. Princess did NOT protect their passengers/crew. Many people were sick on the ship and the crew just pretended it wasn't happening. Even after being notified that my party members contracted covid (from ...
MDR. This was my first ever Princess cruise but was expecting the food to be better. Even on lobster night I only had one serving and almost didn’t finish that. It would have been better if served with some drawn butter, but was not. Perhaps I am not sophisticated enough ...
We had been trying to go on this cruise since April 2020 and were so excited to be finally going to celebrate our 25th (now 27th) anniversary. Our mini suite was spacious and our room steward was very nice and attentive. We did a vow renewal which was extremely special. We aren’t ones who need to always be doing something and spent a fair amount of time just relaxing/reading in our room or one of ...
