I wanted to try a royal class ship and picked the enchanted princess for the European ports. But as luck will have it . They had to cancel Madeira due to a naval pilot strike. The ship is beautiful, clean but is showing wear in the cabin and hallway carpets, and lumpy beds. The only annoying things are the cost cutting measures put in place. Note cost cutting words were used by Princess staff. ...
Let's start at customer service on the phone completely usless and no knowledge ,45 min to speak to a supervisor then tell you email online.. They changed our rooms (2) together and charged for the 3rd person free promo. We ended up one room all the way bow level 10 and other all the way aft level 9. They held every one from boarding at 10:30 till 12:30 on the sidewalk out front. The wifi was ...
Chose Princess because I had a fabulous Princess cruise in 2010. Not so much on this one. I guess Covid ruined Princess too…??
FOOD: Every single meal in the dining room was made by Chef Blandy McBland. Even the few curry dishes were bland! Menu was disappointing-- mostly typical, uninteresting American dishes I can make at home, but not seasoned very well. All the steaks were undercooked, all ...
General
We are a couple in our 60’s who live in Galveston and cruise a lot. We booked this cruise directly through a Travel Consulting Company that we signed up with last year and got a really good price compared to booking directly with Princess. We booked a mini-suite and were very happy with the cabin and location. We chose a room on the Mariner Deck (15) which gave us easy access to ...
This was our 11th cruise, but our first cruise out of Galveston although we live less than 100 miles from Galveston. We originally scheduled a regular balcony cabin and bid to upgrade to a Reserve Class Mini-Suite. We also paid for Princess Plus to get the perks offered like drinks, Wi-Fi, and gratuities. We spent the night before the cruise in a local hotel, the Best Western Plus Seawall Inn & ...
ABOUT US
Echo and I are brother and sister (I'm the sister), and are close knit. Neither of us had ever sailed before. I often have Youtube videos going to be a kind of background sound, and Tips for Travellers came on. Gary has a pleasant voice to half-listen to. I kept selecting TfT, and Youtube started popping up other cruise Influencers.
Because of this I realised that on a cruise ship, ...
Travelled with my parents to see some South Pacific islands. Unfortunately, a cyclone was forming near Fiji so after 1 day at Suva we spent the following two days at sea travelling very slowly towards New Caledonia where we spent an extra port day. Whereas we should have had two more days at Fiji.
The one day at Mystery island on Vanuatu had a lovely beach and trpoical feel. Weather meant the ...
I booked a cruise for my wife and I, it was our first vacation in three years and I was looking forward to relaxing.
We’ve been hit with a myriad of issues in just a few days so far. First - it’s impossible to get a seat at a restaurant. Customer service told my wife that our app had an error which made it so that we couldn’t book reservations so now we are stuck going to the buffet for every ...
This was a 3 night cruise from Sydney to Eden, last time we were on Majestic was almost 4 years ago just before the Pandemic was declared, it was 14 nights to Pacific Islands & Fiji.
It is still in the same beautiful condition as then, and we so enjoyed our short break.
The food was so nice, the quality was streets ahead of Royal Caribbean which we have been on twice since sailing ...
We had never cruised before this trip. We have many friends that cruise regularly, some with over 30 cruises. Several of our friends cruised on this ship in the past year and a half. They convinced us this was the ship for us.
Why this ship? We love live music. This cruise had 2 piano players, 2 bands, one solo guitarist, 2 violinists, and a jazz trio. The music was great. The jazz trio, ...
