My husband and I wanted to see the Panama Canal. Overall the trip was satisfactory. The staff were wonderful. My only objection was that some of the ports were not much to visit unless you were going on a tour. We found that many of the tours were too expensive. The best port was Cartagena, Columbia. It had a small park with exotic birds and a free shuttle. I wanted to go on this cruise ...

The service in the dining room was excellent with good menu choices. Try the Curtis Stone pork belly, it’s wonderful! The food and service in the buffet were very sub par. The food was not up tp Princess’s usual standards and the service was extremely lacking. Most meals we had to get our own beverages. Very disappointing. The entertainment was very good. There were two dance bands, a Latin based ...

First of all my loyalty level with Princess is Elite so I have sailed with them numerous times. I just retuned from a Dec. 10 - Dec. 20, 2019 cruise on Caribbean Princess. We had a great time. We had two mini suites next door to each other. We loved eating in the main dining room and find it much better food than the buffet. The buffet setup encourages people to overeat. We ate at the Crown ...

Chose this cruise to see Panama Canal. Had the opportunity to see some South American countries for the first time. Stops at ports were a great experience for the entire family. We will take Princess Cruise again in next two years. Shore excursions were set up in an orderly manner. Easy to get on and off ship unlike Carnival that is a free for all. Free movies to watch plus we watched the ...

This trip was a return trip for my husband, he had gone through the canal in the '50s while serving in the Navy. The trip went smoothly! the ship was beautifully decorated for the Holidays, the cabin was clean, the balcony large. The bed was wonderful, cozy, great pillows. The entertainment was good as were the games. The service was outstanding in the dining room, high praise to Erick, he took ...

1. Few crew members commented about working conditions and low salary. Because of the mandatory tip policy, management needs to disclose percentage of salary covered by tips 2. Better entertainment programs e.g. avoid repetition of performers. Encourage participation of talented guests,. To break the ice, the director should tell few jokes at the beginning of each ...

My husband had always wanted to do this cruise and because he had just undergone radiation from August until September we thought it would be an excellent trip to look forward to while going through his regimen of 40 radiation treatments. We were pleasantly surprised with all the decorations for Christmas on the ship, the friendly and helpful service and the choices we had for dining and ...

Wanted to see Panama Canal and last time we went cruising we were on The Island Princess and looked forward to returning to that ship since our experience was so positive. Many positive elements like Club Class dining which was excellent plus the staff was outstanding. Main problem was the room was too small for us. Tried to change and upgrade but, at the time, no rooms available. The gym was ...
