Fabulous food, amazing service, friendly staff, and good price.
Daily announcements to update what‘a happening through live DJs with important and fun news. The impressive entertainment with a great variety of performances from solo musicians, singers to team performances can meet the needs of passengers whom mostly were older seniors.
The daily itinerary was well-planned. Unfortunately ...
I wanted to go to Greenland and am an Elite with Princess. It started by Princess refusing to tell anyone where the ship was docking. It only said Manhattan or Brooklyn. You had to guess which one. On thenpast they sent emails to tell which one. It was not in the app either. The they have anytime dining which to me means get in line and get seated in order of arrival. No they give reservations and ...
The staff were very friendly and willing to assist me and other guests lot during the trip. Especially the dinning hall staff (Pascaline, Kenya) was very friendly and assisted me when I needed directions.
The entertainment on the ship was inclusive.
The facilities were all very clean.
The food onboard was very diverse and delicious.
The shops carried a verity of different items. ...
We chose this cruise because it visited the western part of Greenland which was new to us. We are Elite and took a veranda room on 10. This was cruise number 110. It was the worst cruise we’ve ever been on. The ship was full to capacity which meant it was very crowded. Design of ship just is not meant for 3500 people. It was difficult to simply find a place to sit and have a drink at anytime. ...
Decent cruise. Staff was polite, professional, and very helpful.
Ship itself was clean and well maintained.
Sometimes the elevators had a bit of a wait, but nothing horrible.
Long lines/wait for gelato. Food was ok. Not fantastic, but not bad. Hard to get reservations at the desired times - but we were able to tag into other cruise-mates reservations to make it work.
Room service ...
It was recommended by our travel agency so I will try to be fair but also clear on my assessment.
Outstanding service and cleanliness all the employees were top notch with friendliness and helpfulness.
The food in the buffet was cheap and really poor quality the other restaurants on the ship were very good but beware the cost will stifle you to a point you will lower your view they of them ...
I wanted to do another UK cruise go to places like Shetland and Newcastle as I’m a fan of the TV shows and also Liverpool as I had not been there. I’m just about through with long haul flights so I tried to book on the Iceland/Greenland tour but at the time (Feb), I was told all the solo cabins had been sold. I waited about 5 weeks and cabins became available again and I was able to book that tour ...
We haven’t cruised with Princess for the best part of 10 years, and never on the Island Princess.
Shes a classic style cruise liner and on the larger size of what we have been used to recently.
Embarking was quick and flawless at Southampton and we were in our cabin before 1pm.
An inside cabin to the rear of deck B, not far from the rear lifts and stairs. The “stateroom” was a good size ...
Royal Princess to Alaska Seattle round-trip was a great cruise. I went with a friend, her young son and her brother in early August. Embarkation was super easy, and I found the Blue Lane vs Green Lane to be a meaningless distinction, and picked up my medallion at the same desk as registration, and from getting out of the cab around 11am to being on board took less than 20 minutes.
PROS
The ...
What started on an innocent sunny day in August turned out to be an adventure we will always remember. Despite being impacted by (2) Hurricanes, the fires in Maui, and multiple medical emergencies, the Princess Staff and Officers rallied to help us all make the best experiences possible. The weather to Hawaii was hot and sunny, which was really nice. The last minute decision to reroute to Kona ...
