Many people cancelled this cruise when it was announced that the ship had a propulsion problem and would be traveling slower. They also changed the itinerary to accommodate this reduced speed. But I have to say that you really missed out on a wonderful cruise. We never had any mechanical problems and the ports were good, and the staff, food , entertainment, etc. were outstanding. We traveled ...
The only reason we decided to do this cruise was because it was such a fabulous bargain. I mean $398 for a balcony on a 15-night cruise ... How do you pass that up? Add in to the calculations the $250 OBC for being a veteran, and the deal got even juicier. Finally, as an extra, extra bonus, they gave us each $100 OBC for the change in itinerary. We seriously debated whether or not to do such a ...
We have been away from Princess for a while. Ours was the British Isles cruise not the transatlantic. We booked through Online Vacations and had 2 nights in London then on to the Caribbean Princess. The transfers worked well, embarkation was a snap. Lunch at the Market Place. A few noticeable changes were silverware in bins on the table and tableside service for all drinks (or anything else ...

Hi popidon, thanks for the great feedback on your Caribbean Princess experience! We're so glad that you enjoyed our Princess Luxury Bed (we'd recommend visiting princessluxurybed.com to own...
Just back from our British Isles and London experience. The Ship: We opted for an inside cabin due to overbooking of balcony's by Princess and rec'd full refund. Inside cabin worked fine for this itinerary as there were only 2 real sea days out of 12. Thought the food in the Steak Specialty Dining and regular dining was very good most days. Lot's of options. Princess has also upgraded the ...
Booked this cruise in October 2016. Then started reading the reviews every week. They overall were not good. Started to make me nervous, wondered if I had made a bad choice. The reviews were so far from the the truth! I could not have been more pleased! The ship was beautiful, clean and fun! ...
We chose this cruise because it was the one that included the Edinburgh tattoo. We flew to London 3 days prior to the cruise and were able to enjoy many of the must see attractions. The transfer to the ship was arranged through Princess and went smoothly. The ship, although several years old, is in good shape after going through a recent refit. The cabins are what you might expect, however the ...
First of all our travel director made all of the arrangements for this cruise, there was a group of 42 of us. Sandy did everything, all we had to do was show up at appointed times and we were whisked away from our comfortable cabins and into the British countryside. Our on board experiences were what we expected, food was mostly first rate, shopping with shipboard credit was fun, attending the ...
I chose this cruise for 2 reasons. First to celebrate my 60th birthday and secondly because of the itinerary. There were 7 people in our party. From previous reviews of this ship we were expecting to board an old, tired ship with poor food. Well, my experience couldn't be further away from that and was very happy with the whole experience. My wife and I had an unobstructed ocean view cabin which ...
Since we had never been to the British Isles and have cruised Princess several times, it was an easy decision to choose this cruise. After the numerous negative reviews of the Caribbean Princess, I had some trepidation prior to boarding. Thankfully we experienced almost none of the issues reported by others and thoroughly enjoyed our time on the ship.
For the first time, we did not select a ...
