We have cruised with Princess several times and found them to be excellent. Unfortunately this cruise from Singapore to Shanghai was not. We found the entertainment disappointing and the cruise director didn’t inspire a spirt of enjoyment. The Stevie Wonder show was dreadful; we and others walked out as he started to sing his songs in Japanese! The pool attendants were non-existent with plates ...
It was our honeymoon cruise, travelling from Singapore to Shanghai. As a same sex couple, we were interested to see how we were treated, and it was all a dream. From the congratulations notices and balloons festooning our stateroom door, to the greetings of the maitre'd, and somewhat melodious singing of the waiters, all kept us in the mood.
Dining...we were booked for anytime dining and ...
We chose this cruise for our 30th wedding anniversary, and always wanted to see Asia. The ship was good, cabins very comfortable, and the staff were super friendly. The stops were also excellent. The only thing that let this cruise down was the entertainment, it was shocking,. When you are on holiday you hope to be entertained , especially sea days, this ship was so boring, it was the same thing ...
Great itinerary and service throughout the trip. Always enjoy the food on Princess. Dining room and buffet were very good but Sabatinis was great. Some of the venues were crowded at times and the pool areas were always crowded. Enjoyed great service in the dining room with 5:30 Anytime dining with Brigitta and Boyn. Was not too pleased with the ships offered shore excursions (took excursions in ...
We chose this cruise to see what it would be like to be away from home over Christmas and New Year. We really enjoy cruising and this was our 14/15th cruise and unfortunately it was the most disappointing. It was definitely not a bad cruise as we had a great steward looking after us and our cabin. The bed was very comfortable and the food/eating venues and wait staff were very good so our ...
Great ship. This was a good itinerary. Staff was fantastic.Food was good, typical of Princess. Ship is in very good condition with only minor wear. Not only did the weather cooperate but the tours were good.. Surprised it is going in for updates soon. We do not use Princess shore excursions ( in my opinion their, weakness) but find it worthwhile joining and creating groups through roll call. ...
This was a family Christmas cruise. Our 2nd with Princess and 5th overall Cruise ( 2 Carnival and 1 Royal Caribbean) and Princess is hands down our favorite due to overall experience with service, food everything else!. Overall great cruise. Several negatives: was age of our ship - built in 2004 and showing its age. We had AC issues in our cabin but Princess compensated by giving us a generous ...
We choose this cruise due to the ports it included and the Princess brand. However, since our last cruise on Princess, they have cut many corners. The buffett on the last Princess cruise had smoked salmon and eggs benedict for breakfast. None now. Dinner in the buffett always had a selection of nuts. Gone, except two nights had a few peanuts then then come walnuts. But when came back for ...
We booked our sixth cruise and connections through Flight Centre and all went well. The Diamond Princess is a large ship with up to 2,670 passengers and a crew capacity of 1,100. The ship was well appointed with plenty of dining options and lounge bars. Our balcony cabin, or stateroom as is the preferred name, was clean and well maintained by our steward Mario. The bathroom was small but perfectly ...
First the short "PRO" list:
1) Great service,
2) Meals were good,
3) All but one excursion was very good,
4) Finishing of the (renovated 2018) ship was very good, as expected.
Before I begin the "CON" list, be aware that Princess misleads you. We bought what we was sold as an 11 night Southeast Asia cruise. Princess doesn't tell you that it's actually a 3-night and 8 night ...
