First of all, I did a YouTube review video of the ship, entertainment and food. If interested, type in "2023 Grand Princess full ship tour and V-log review - what I loved about the ship."
I had been on the ship 20 years ago and was aware this is the oldest ship in the fleet. I was shocked when we boarded as the ship looked brand new. Everywhere we walked on the ship, I could not find any ...
I was impressed with both the quality and variety of food in the main dining room as well as the availability of food in Horizon Court (buffet). I enjoyed the variety of equipment in the fitness centre as well as the availability of beach towels on the open deck. The selection and quality of entertainment on the stateroom tv was impressive as was the service that I received from select crew ...
We had sailed on 10+ high-mid-low end cruises, picked the Crown Princess 11 nights sailing to Alaska last minute sailing under my mom's request. This was our 3rd time doing the Alaska itinerary, but my mom wanted something longer than 7 days, return Vancouver and we were familiar with Princess standard from the Japan and New England East Coast itinerary a few years back.
Embarkation was a ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and to travel with Princess again after 7 years trying other lines. Our suite experience certainly made this trip excellent because we were treated royally. Kudos to staff in Sabatinis, select area of main dining room and room steward. Food was very good and we had no complaints. Buffet was often busy but perfect for a quick lunch or cup of tea. Coffee was ...

This was our first cruise and we we’re celebrating our 30 year anniversary with family as well as celebrating our parents 64th!
I honestly was disappointed and might of had too high of expectations. Couple of items that are a must; a balcony room (mid to forward ship mid floor) to escape to so you can privately enjoy the Alaska scenery and escape the 3500 guests on board. ...
We had heard numerous concerns - engine issues, ac not working in staterooms and common areas - prior to our departure. While we were concerned we hoped all would be well once boarded. The positive: We sailed with our 2 teens and had 2 aft penthouse suites. Rooms were very clean and comfortable, albeit dated. The main dining room was solid fare ( Crown Grill is lackluster with horrible service and ...
We elected to go on a cruise as it seemed like the easiest way to experience Alaska. From that perspective, this cruise met our needs. The Alaskan ports offered good opportunities to experience the beautiful sights of Alaska. Still, the experience is downgraded by the touristy, completely overcrowded downtowns of the ports themselves. The downtowns seem to be mostly staffed by temporary summer ...
I just got back from Caribbean Princess cruise. first issue, someone had a medical emergency so ship had to turn back to Ft Lauderdale to meet a helicopter. We then had Grand caymen as a destination cancelled. No Reconciliation, no nothing.
second issue, the cabin is really dated. The AC in the cabin and we had a balcony was horrendous. We woke up all throughout the night because it was too ...
I am a doctor and don’t get away but rarely. I chose a Hawaii 15 day cruise. I chose Princess because of a good experience it has been in the past.
Not this time. The ship is small and appears old compared to other princess ships. The dinner menu is horrible, and I am unimpressed with the menu selections nightly, every night I wait for better options. The choices are lousy. The food is cold. ...
We cruised the British Isles on the Regal Princess during July 2023.
Our Embarkation was the easiest we’ve ever experienced. We had done pre-cruise days in London and on departure day our bus left right on time from the hotel and got us to the port by 11. Staterooms were ready by 1:30. At the terminal it took like 2 seconds to get our medallions. They were extremely efficient.
Our room ...
