We chose this cruise for the ports of call. The itinerary was the perfect balance of major cruise ports and variable sea days.
This was our second Princess cruise. Our first was last spring (Spring Break!) on the Emerald Princess. This year, the Caribbean Princess European Capitols cruise exceeded our expectations!
The Ship: With this being the second cruise post dry dock. the freshness and ...
This is about my 15th trip with Princess and I stick with them because of their rewards program (generous) and their itineraries go where I want. The staff is usually very good and I like the large variety of food and times. The age group is usually one that is similar to me (55-70). I have been on other lines over the years but always come back to Princess....I fell they have a medium price. ...
We had dreamed of going to Italy for many years and this cruise provided us the opportunity to see a large part of Italy for a reasonable price. The excursions were perfect and we stayed in Rome 3 days prior to the cruise and spent 3 extra days in Barcelona on the way home. We had some concerns about the possibility of a Ianguage barrier but the ship's staff and the tour guides made it all very ...
DW and I just returned from the 2016 version of the Iceland Norway Explorer transatlantic cruise aboard the Caribbean Princess. We did last year's sailing as well and this year's cruise was just as good as last year's. This was our 10th cruise in a row on Princess and our 17th overall cruise. An added bonus was this was our first Elite Status cruise. Prior to the cruise, we had a very active ...
Cruise was going to Norway and Iceland before arriving in NYC. The ports were delightful to visit especially Iceland. There were a number of new ports for me. Norway was as spectacular as usual especially Flaam. The big disappointment was not being able to visit the Shetland Islands, which was the big drawing card for me. The seas were too rough and although we anchored, we did move on to the ...
This was our 50th cruise, the 22nd on Princess. Overall it was a great cruise, maybe not perfect, but no cruise ever is.
Embarkation
We started this cruise in Ft. Lauderdale, it was also available 3 days earlier from Houston. Princess had notified us that the cruise would leave at 10 pm rather than 4 pm as scheduled, but this would not affect the boarding times. Then bad weather hit ...
Mainly chose this cruise for the number of sea days, knowing it would be an older crowd.
Also chose Princess, having cruised 20+times on a variety of ships and companies.
The seas were excellent, the food was the best we have ever had on a ship, and no cruise company trains their people as well as Princess. Our room was immaculate, had VERY comfortable beds and small issues were addressed ...
We loved the Caribbean Princess trip across the Atlantic. The staff was wonderful, all of them, and as busy as the ship was, with many passengers, they made the experience terrific. Princess is our favorite cruise line and that will not change. The Hotel General Manager, Andreas Pitsch, was amazing, approachable and as busy as he is in his position, takes the time to speak to passengers. He ...
DW and I just returned from our Iceland Norway Explorer transatlantic cruise on the Caribbean Princess. It was our 16th overall cruise, 9th in a row on Princess, and our 5th transatlantic. For this journey we had DW's sister and her hubby also sailed with us. Prior to the cruise we had a very active roll call thread where we got to know one another via the cyber world. Our group was named ...
This was our third Princess Cruise and we were not disappointed. From arrival at the terminal embarkation was speedy and we were onboard within 30 minutes. We had guaranteed cabins that were allocated 2 days before sailing A219 & A235 balcony cabins on Aloha Deck. These cabins were great no footfall from other passengers and cabins above and below us. They are forward cabins but this was no issue ...
