Cruise review
I consider myself to be a fit and healthy 32 year old. Yet on this 10 night cruise I did not stand a chance !!!! I managed to catch not one but two viruses - gastro and the flu. So I was out for most of it and truly devastated. It was not surprising as staff do not enforce any hygiene protocols.
Passengers used their hands to rummage and collect food in the buffet (multiple ...
This was our 11th cruise and 2nd princess (1st experience was Emerald Princess in September 2022 and was excellent) but was the worst ever.
1. Waiting for 2 hour at Yokohama even everything done online but to pick up the medallion.
Suggest to narrow the check in window to minimize overcrowding passenger during peak hours.
2. Water shuttle horrible. Some disrespectful passengers picked up ...
This was our fourth cruise with Princess, and the most disappointing one.
In general, the whole cruise was mediocre. Check in took about 40 minutes and we were not in the peak period.
Room was reasonably clean but some furniture are showing wear and really tired. There was a cold ' Hello ' with the steward, but after I gave a 50 dollars tip the next day, I get some smile.
Activities and ...
We chose this cruise as it was perfect timing for our holiday in Japan. Our second princess cruise and we were excited for the adventure. From embarkation to the awful dining experiences our excitement soon evaporated.
Arriving at Yokohama ($170 taxi ride from Tokyo ) our bags were swiftly taken out of sight, our passports shown and our vaccination verification and we were rushed to a waiting ...
Ship was dated, service was very poor, dining was average, take a large bank account with you because they will charge you like a wounded bull!! Don't trust what they tell you as we were told that to certain destinations by foot was not possible but it was, again another ploy to sell you their excursions which are grossly overpriced as are their drinks, note you will be paying a daily gratuity ...
1. The day before the cruise a Typhoon hit Tokyo. We understand that you cannot do anything when mother nature hits but there was no communication, no notifications or emails from Princess explaining that there is a delay in the cruise ship coming back into port due to the Typhoon and that there was any delay in embarkation. There should have been an initial email warning of the approaching ...
Princess contractors in ports were cheating customers insisting you have to sign register for tickets to get on free bus. Ship's management, which was well aware of situation, refused to adjust $45 on bill that fraudulently stolen. Spent $50,000 with Carnival Corp. this year. Asian food in dining room was outstanding, service good, improved wine program great, bought gold 12 bottle package. Beef ...
Supposedly a 21 day cruise……..
My wife and I have just returned from our cruise together with another couple that we invited to come along.
When we planned this trip it was supposed to be a gift from me to my wife and from her to me as a 55th anniversary present and our mutual 75th Birthday present.
It turned out to be anything but pleasant. Princess has lost all consideration from us ...
JUN 25-3 JUL 19 YOKOHAMA JAPAN
20 OUT OF 45 CABINS WERE REPORTED TO BE UNFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. Broken a/c's in 20 of the rooms the entire trip. The temperature in the rooms reached highs of 24 degrres celsius.
2. Kids on the cruise had to be put to sleep on the 5th floor of the ship every night before bringing them to the room due to the extreme heat.
3. Adults on ...
I don't mind a night at a Holiday Inn or Days Inn while on the road, but a 12 day cruise in that category is way too much. When the carrots and peas are on the salad buffet instead of those small corn things and water chestnuts, you know you are in trouble. In a word, the food was CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP QUALITY TOO.. They did have smoked salmon (lox to us), but that was hidden away and I had to ask ...
