Have taken 14 cruises using several cruise lines… 2 with Princess that were very good experiences….
This one was disappointing on many levels.
1. Customer service pre-cruise weak (45 min waits on phone and reps with no answers)
2. Limited number of excursions- closed out of several eight weeks before cruise
3. Excursions over-priced and mostly sub-par- not seeing much and tour guides ...
This was my family’s first post pandemic cruise, and we went with our extended family. We had high expectations for this cruise as it was my in-law’s 30th cruise with Princess and up until this point, Princess was one of their favourite cruise lines, and they’ve been on a lot of cruises! The Medallion app they so proudly market only works, maybe, half the time. We were told to complete all steps ...
This cruise was in Canada in an area that we hadn't seen before & we didn't have to fly overseas.
It started in Quebec City overnighting there. It was really hot in Quebec & we took a walking tour that was supposed to be moderate but many of us couldn't keep up with the tour guide. Someone ran ahead to ask her to slow down.
Every night we ate dinner with guests sharing a table in the dining ...
I really wanted to enjoy this cruise. I did. To be honest, my family and I had a great time and enjoyed each other's company in our first family vacation since the bulk of the pandemic has (hopefully) in the rear view mirror. What brings folks together is often a common problem - in this case the cruise line, staff, and food.
Embarkation and Debarkation were well oiled machines. Well ...
This was our first cruise on Princess. While we've been on over a dozen cruises, all have been on Royal Caribbean. We chose this particular cruise because it was the only one that departed from Quebec City during the time we wanted to sail.
Embarcation was very smooth. We arrived at our designated check-in time and were able to walk straight through the entire check-in process, including ...
This was our first Princess cruise after 18 on various other lines. The itinerary, 13 days from Fort Lauderdale to Quebec City was excellent. Quebec City is a must see. Only two sea days. The positives and negatives to us are below:
Positives
The crew was truly awesome! Service was very good. I liked the living area of the stateroom and particularly the large closet for a lengthy ...
We are currently traveling with a family of 3 in this cabin on 13 day FLL- Quebec.
Firstly, I have to say the WIFI is outstanding. Best ever at sea.
The cabin is large and sofa bed is in a separate sitting area. Sofa bed is hard but comfortable.
Large balcony, just above bridge and below the forward ship's viewing deck on floor 15 so not private from sunrise to sunset. The doors are ...
Chose because of the itinerary. Tours were below par - was shocked - Princess, generally, does everything well. A dearly wanted tour cancelled just before embarkation. Had to choose something that was "left over". Not an especially interesting tour - but the tour guide WAS exceptional. Chose to stay on the ship at some ports or disembark for a few hours.
Dissatisfied, on arrival, with with ...
I have chose this cruise for two reasons: first, the cruise ends in Quebec city, my hometown, second, I wished to try a princess cruise. Usually, I cruise on Royal Caribbean, Cunard, Celebrity and Norwegian and when I analyze and compare this cruise, it is always with the cruises I have done on these other cruise companies. In general, it was a good and honest cruise. This means that everything ...
First I must compliment the Princess transfer from the airport in Fort Lauderdale to the Embassy Suites. Our flight was 3 hours late and the Princess rep was still at the airport to meet us at 10:30 pm!
Embassy Suites was good. Hasn't changed much since I was there 5 years ago.
Embarkation day was horrible. Left the hotel on time and waited over 2 hours to get onboard in an extremely ...
