We were excited about being on a new ship and wanted to be on the inagural cruise, but, couldn't make that happen. Luck was with us though as the first sailing had some blips as the staff were all getting settled, the boat was moored at one pier and checkin was at another 2 miles away. There was a bus that took people back and forth.
We were also advised that is what we were going to be doing ...
After staying home for the past two years, this was a great opportunity to take a vacation with our family. We have not been to Mexico for several years, and it did not disappoint. This was the first cruise we decided to take a shore excursion in each port, and it made our vacation so much better! Rather than wandering around souvenir shops, taking sketchy transportation and wondering where to ...
We cruised on Saturday, April 2 and returned on Saturday, April 9. We visited Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta (the Mexican Riviera, as it were) before returning to the World Cruise Port in San Pedro, California.
We enjoyed almost everything about the cruise -- the food, the entertainment, the friendly staff, the fun cruise director (Natalie) -- except the wireless package.
In ...
Non working app ruined experience. Problem after problem. Nobody could fix it, & no dining reservations w/out it. No more Medallion cruises for me.
Food was typical minus the hair in my gravy. Cabin was good, and service in cabin as well.
Lots of free movies.
Location part of app always showed everyone else in same place as me.
Dinners were a nightmare as we tried & tried to make ...
Cruise was easy to embark on, all staff were pleasant and gave great service. Ports were all good. Buffet was like going to my company cafeteria. Not impressive. Included restaurants were not very good. Only a few dishes were above par. Went to Charter House steakhouse specialty dining and had the worst Rib-eye I have had in years. Thin cut, overcooked, tough. Extremely poor quality meat. ...
Been sailing with princess a short time now and have to say I’m impressed with the staff on board and the medallion is the game changer in the cruise industry. I found I didn’t have to wait at the bar to order a drink or stand in line to go to dinner was able to do everything from the app that I downloaded ahead of time. Getting a boarding time made getting on the ship in less than 20 minutes ...
We chose this cruise to use credits received for a cruise cancelled mid cruise due to norovirus on the Carribean Princess at the very start of Covid. We enjoyed the cruise except for all the shipboard time trying to get the Medallion (which we loved on other princess cruises) to work. Our dining reservation was lost and and we could not use the medallion to rebook. We ended up with private dining ...
This cruise was our 5th with Princess (out of 8 total cruises). We originally booked a Caribbean cruise back just before Covid hit and as everyone knows it got cancelled, and cancelled again, and cancelled again. Our work schedules limited us to a cruise at the beginning of April. To our dismay, Princess pretty much moved all of their ships out of the Caribbean during our timeframe. We decided ...
My wife and I cruise about 2 times per year so we are not inexperienced cruisers.
The issues started during embarkation when we were told that our negative Covid test 3 days prior to embarkation was one day too early even though the Princess site said otherwise. We had to take another test at the cruise terminal which was paid for by Princess. Not a big deal, just an inconvenience and ...
We'd been home for 3 months and decided a trip to Hawaii would be a nice change. We loved Club Class and our mini suite D 504. The only major disappointment was it lacked wall charging plugs on either side of the bed to charge our IPads and cell phones.
The entertainment was a mixed bag. The one standout was Jassen Allen from Las Vegas. His show was terrific. The two Princess production ...
