We had chosen this cruise because of the itinerary. We traveled 3 generations including 2 children ages 7/10. The food was beyond horrible. We are vegetarian and they put meat in our food in the main dining hall. Guest Services was awful and did not even try to remedy the horrible food. The cabins are small and outdated. The entertainment at night (nightly shows) were awful. The comedian ...
To see if Princess could make amends for problem laden Hawaiian cruise and restore faith in Princess. This was their chance, did they succeed, not only did they fail to resurrect their product in our eyes they reinforced our decision never ever again.
1) Get on board just before 5.00 pm and hear announcement “Muster drill will commence at 5.30 pm” we immediately go to a bar and ask for two ...
This was a relatively late UK-advertised (guaranteed cabins only) and hence a late booking (2 months prior) for us and our friends. At no time were we advised, by our agent or Princess, that this was to be it’s first cruise after a two-week scheduled major refit in the Bahamas.
It was to leave Fort Lauderdale 3rd April and after 14 N end up in Barcelona and in taking a more southerly heading ...
We chose this Cruise on the Crown Princess because of the variety of ports for 25 days.
It had just come out of dry dock and full of problems...leaks in many places, laundry facilities not working, vibrations, late and unprepared check-in and the worst selection of food lacking any imagination. The hallways had ripped wall paper, the cabin carpeting was old and the ship had an elevator that had ...
This was a repositioning cruise right after dry dock. Embarking was delayed for inspections. The passengers were told to wait in the terminal....except the terminal was FULL so they moved more people to a different terminal. We sat outside on a bench for 3 hours with no water or facilities. When we were permitted inside another wait.
Got to our room and asked our room steward for a wedge ...
We take two cruises a year with Princess, and are members of the Elite Status in the Captains Circle, and we liked the Trans-Atlantic Cruise we took last year so we decided to take this one because it was going to Ports we never been to before. I turned out to be the wrong decision since this ship had problems from the very start. Coming out of dry dock, we expected a sparkly clean ship ready for ...
This was the worst cruise we have been on in over 60 cruises. The ship was in Dry Dock and when it came out it really was not ready for guests.
When we reached our cabin we found some ones excrement in the bowl in our bathroom. When we told our cabin person he told us he had let guest services know about it and that the bowl would not flush in the morning, and they still had not taken care of ...
My husband and I travel quiet often. Love cruises but this one was the worse. We booked the 25 days, Ft. Lauderdale - Rome. Bad from the start. We were notified to be at the terminal at 2 PM., so we did. They had us sitting on very uncomfortable chairs until 6 PM. Had no idea why, never a reason, never an apology. The next day, the Captain offered us a free glass of wine (cheap one) for ...
My partner and myself have just returned from a cruise around the Mediterranean . We paid £3650.00 , we paid £150 for parking , £490 for excursions and £981.85 .
This cruise was something we had planned and looked forward too for the last 6 months, however it fell short of our expectations from day one.
We had to queue to board the ship for 2 hours, we had to queue to leave the ship for at ...
I can't imagine how an earlier reviewer on the same cruise though it so good. Engine or other vibration could be felt throughout many areas of the ship including our cabin which is on the small side. The "bathroom" doesn't have a bath - just a small shower and the whole room is tiny.
Food was OK but nothing special, limited in selection and tended to be the same each mealtime.
Some of the ...
