After a gap of 2 years it was good to be back cruising on the Emerald Princess again. We did not encounter any Covid problems ourselves but believe there had been some on deck 12 that delayed our embarkation by nearly 2 hours. Having to wear a mask was a nuisance but necessary. The crew all seemed happy to be back and service was good.
The inevitable cut-backs were noticeable and too numerous ...
My sister and I chose this cruise because she is a Platinum Medallion member and has had many positive experiences on Princess cruises. As a relatively new cruiser, I was looking forward to celebrating my 70th birthday in Cherbourg, France. We shared an inside cabin on Caribe deck 10. Our cabin steward was very friendly and attentive. The My Way Dining experience was great, although the staff was ...
I booked my lifetime dream Transatlantic 23 day cruise aboard Emerald Princess, which would be my first cruise on Princess. I've been on many, many cruises before, and am not one to complain, nor to have unrealistic expectations of what a cruise line can deliver. For a line that is supposed to compete with Celebrity (which I have sailed several times), Princess fell short in several ways.

My husband and I chose the transatlantic cruise for the itinerary stops in both Europe and the UK. We love cruising and, until now, loved Princess. We are more than slightly disappointed, in particular because Princess Customer Support has become impossible to reach and has blocked all abilities to contact them directly for resolution. We are Platinum wanted very much to get to Elite soon. The ...
Basically chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We had never cruised on Princess before, so we were excited to give them a try.
The ship itself was fine. Great venues, well-appointed and designed for the most part. The stateroom was satisfactory as well. The exception to this is the World Fresh Market (Lido Deck). Too small and compact. Even though there were two sides, there was ...
First I've cruised with Princess 17 times. I've always enjoyed the cruises. This cruise was a disaster from start to finish.I am slightly disabled and need a wheelchair to get on the ship. It wasn't there although it was requested. The line to get onboard was miles long and not moving. I don't know what the issue was. My steward informed me that they only cleaned the room once a day now. ...
We wanted to see the British Isles and didn't want to fly over. We have sailed several times with Princess and had very good food, service and overall relaxation. On this trip we found that the food was just ok but our waiter and busboy were great and we had very nice people at our table. Room service was excellent. We had the drink package with our cruise and it was a joke. I don't think ...
I chose this cruise because it was for 14 days going to the Easter and Southern Caribbean. Which we love. I have never cruised on Princess before and was so looking forward to this experience. I will list the good and the bad aspects of our cruise. This was our 16th cruise so we are not newbies.
Good first
1. The Hostess in the Michael Angelo dinning room was alway so pleasant asking ...
Princess does a great job of selecting and training their staff to be friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We enjoyed the games, dining and entertainment. All six of us had fun playing bocci ball, golf, croquet, etc. The food selection was good and tasty. The Indian curry was a big plus. The comedy, dancing and singing were fun. We took at least one excursion at every port. We all enjoyed the ...
This is our 10th cruise with Princess. We are Platinum members and stayed in a suite. My biggest complaint is the food quality and choices. The Club Class menu choices were very disappointing. There was always a steak on the menu. Not this time. Other choices were not as good as before. Escargot used to be every night, not now.
In the Crown Grille, you always got 3-4 lobster tails. Now one ...
