Think twice about princess cruises, read the reviews on yelp, google, and social media, and good luck getting a refund check from princess cruises after your cruise if you're owed a refund $!!! We pre-paid cruise, excursions, etc before sailing (plus package) for our 7-day alaska cruise from seattle. Our most expensive excursion was canceled by the ship or vendor the day of and no one even ...
My wife and I are experienced cruisers with more than 15 cruises with Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. I wanted to try a Premium cruise line and Costco had a good deal on this cruise which is a 14 day East/West Caribbean, so we went for it despite the mixed reviews. We are still on the ship starting the second week but I wanted to share my impressions.
We booked everything through ...
We have cruised about 8 times in the past, all with Royal Caribbean. Then we didn't cruise for the past 3 years due to the pandemic. Our first time back to cruising was a weekend cruise to the Bahamas with Royal Caribbean and we were very disappointed by the lack of cleanliness on the pool deck, poor customer service and the quality of the food. I'm not sure if this is a post-pandemic ...
I have been on 8 cruises and this was EASILY the worst. It was my first Princess cruise and will definitely be my last as well. I don't even know where to begin. The food was bad. Like really bad. I have never had a cruise where the buffet was literally inedible, but this was one. The dining room was a little better, but was hit or miss. If you do go on this cruise choose the Allegro dining room. ...
Wanted an Alaskan cruise.
Their website was the worst ever...embarkation was a nightmare (3 plus hours from line up to line up)
The food at buffet was not eatable at times and lots of it was recycled.
The water tasted like chlorine and coffee (both free and paid for was the worse ever)
We found the hard way that cruise ships are a magnet for viruses.
Half the way we all got sick and ...
Embarkation:
Embarkation was a total nightmare. We arrived at the port to be directed to a line that took an hour literally only to drop our bags off with the porters/longshoreman. We had pre-ordered our medallions; so, from that point, the process was very smooth and fast... maybe 15 minutes.
Cabin:
The Crown OV cabins are smaller than OV cabins on other lines/ships we have sailed and ...
this was a double first for both of us, first time on princess and first alaska cruise. it was our 22nd cruise so stranger to that, but had never done princess because they were always a bit more money and the clientele older. we're early 50s now and absolute steal came along for this cruise, so we jumped on it. the reason we'd not done alaska before is cost. it's always been expensive and the ...
There were 3 of us traveling...me (40's), daughter (12 1/2) and mom (70's). We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, which was CA coastal (with San Francisco overnight). My mom and I had sailed with Princess many times (8 for me and 25 for her), but had been primarily sailing Royal Caribbean recently. We initially booked a mini-suite, but had concerns of only having the tub/shower ...
I sailed on the Caribbean Princess in late June of this year. We were deceived and lied to from getting on board the ship through the end and afterwards. They were understaffed. We received rude service and guest service did nothing to help with any of our problems. The ship had "technical difficulties" that resorted in AC not fully work on the ship and the ship not being able to travel at regular ...
My family was looking for a good cruise line to take on a trip to Alaska and decided to use princess cruise line. My disappointment with this cruiseline began day one of our 7 day cruise. My boyfriend has a pacemaker, he can not have any magnetic or electromagnetic interference with his device. We went through security to get on the ship no problem, when boarding we were given a lanyard with a ...
