Service was sub-par compared to other cruise lines. Reservations are required for dining room & impossible to get. Waiting in line for meals is the norm. You don't have a set seating time, table, or server.so meals are anonymous. Cabibs were VERY small not well cleaned. Mold in showe, shower gel and shampoo, and toilet not cleaned once the entire week.Room service is SLOW; 90 minutes minimum ...
Went on this cruise as my sister-in-law lives in the area and wanted us to go on another cruse with them. Unfortunately we have really only had marginal to poor success with Princess Cruises. First let me start that we were both gold medallion suite guests as well as having purchased the Premier Package. We arrived at the port at our assigned times yet had a 45 min wait to get into the terminal. ...
We’ve had 18 cruises mostly with Celebrity. We booked Princess for the itinerary and as we were travelling with friends ( there first time) we decided on Caribbean Princess. Did not look at the age of the ship nor read reviews. We’ve always had great holidays with Celebrity (now we use the saying NOT-to fix something that wasn’t broken).. and Celebrity were coming home… NEVER USE PRINCESS ...
The overwhelming impression of this cruise is that the Caribbean Princess is an old tired ship. This was my first Princess cruise and I was disappointed to find that, unlike Celebrity, Princess does not fully refurbish its ships. Instead it focuses on tech (Princess Medallion) which feels like a gimmick. Most of the spaces look about 15-20 years old with dents, peeling wallpaper, and just old ...
We chose this cruise because my husband is a scuba diver and we heard that Grand Turk was an amazing spot to dive. But there are limited cruise lines that sail to Grand Turk and we wanted a more upscale experience than what we'd heard Carnival offers. There was not a dive excursion offered through Princess, so we booked our own. That was all well and good, it worked out just fine.
The real ...
Too many issues starting with:
Cabin set up for 2 singles vs the double we booked--had to get steward to rectify.
No fruit or champagne waiting in room upon arrival--steward brought 2 glasses 3 hours after we got in our cabin!!!
Medallion app messed up some of our dining reservations.
Older ship with far fewer amenities vs. what is provided on there 3 newest ships (e.g. lack casual ...
Chose this cruise because we wanted to see Fall Colors in Canada/New England and had had favorable experiences on Princess in the past.
However, this is an OLD ship (2004 refurbished 2019) and shows its age as well as lack of modern amenities. Although we didn't pay the most for our oceanview cabin we did not expect it to have bunk beds which protruded from the wall on either side of the queen ...
We had booked this cruise hoping to see fall colors but much of the trees had not yet turned. We booked an overnight stay in Montreal with Princess before embarking on the cruise. Montreal accommodations were nice but the transfer process was lacking. The busses picked us up so late that we didn’t reach the ship until 4:00 pm which caused us to miss out on several hours in Quebec City. The ...
We choose this cruise because it travelled to places in Canada we have never been..... and still haven't been to. We did encounter the pre bits of Hurricane Lee and the Captain made the decision to skip Charlestown, PEI, Halifax, NS and Bar Harbor, MN and shelter for 3 days in Boston. So we missed over 60% of our cruise and spent 3 calm days in Boston for a Hurricane that never came... beyond ...
Oh my so many things to say. I will start positive by saying that the staff in the coral dining room are amazing but the rest are quite inattentive and either not knowledgeable or not helpful.
This cruise is not what I thought it would be.
They have an app that you have to use constantly on board and it is super glitchy. It’s supposed to work do that you can order things and they find you ...
