Wanted to see my Ancestry home of my Grandfather . I was limited to what I could did due to a severe broken Shoulder in May so I only could use one hand and could not carry any weight. Mostly everything went well except. Two problems thatPrincess failed to help with . Flew into London. With the usual airport delays but we made it on time and safely after 3 changes in our flights. Air booked by ...
We wanted to see parts of the UK that we typically did not see when visiting family so chose this cruise for its length and ports of call. Specifically, the things we enjoyed were:
> stops in ports of interest in England, Scotland and Ireland
> ports of Guernsey and the Orkeny Islands - not often accessed through mainland visits to the UK
Things we learned:
> Although we were aware ...
We has this cruise canceled twice by Covid.
I’m on board. Here are some notes from the Emerald Princess Baha deck on the British Isles Cruise June 14, 2022
Don’t bother ordering Jamison‘s scotch listed on the room service menu - they don’t have it on a trip to Scotland.
And don’t ask for Raisin Bran or special K listed on the room service menu- not available.
The announcements ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary following a princess land tour of Ireland (which was fabulous). Overall, the ports were excellent but there were too many water shuttle ports which created issues for those with disabilities. Several of the water shuttles broke down so we spent one to two hours waiting In the public areas to board one. The shore excursions we took were excellent and ...
The internet was awful. We need the internet to be able to log into our business, iMessage, and call over IP. The service was so poor that we weren't able to connect to our business and the messaging quit working after a few days. We sailed on this ship a few years ago and didn't have this problem. We've also been on many other ships on several cruise lines and not had this problem. The ...
Our second cruise with Princess and both in the same cabin, seven years apart. The ship looks well used, inside and out, though it still functions well, thanks to the efforts and boundless enthusiasm of the hardworking crew.
The best place for us on this ship has always been the Piazza. It’s central and has good coffee and cakes for a morning graze whilst you get to watch the world go by, hence ...
In the past we have used P&O and Cunard and have always been happy with our cruises. Princess we were told were a cut above so we decided to give them a try. We chose this British Isles cruise as a tester post pandemic. For that purpose it worked out fine. As for the cruise itself it was okish. The medallion app was a pain from start to finish. Almost everything was done via the app so you couldnt ...
Having never cruised Princess, 2 positives stood out. The technology of Medallion Class, and their check-in process. Now did the app work perfectly, 100% of the time? No. Of course not. I’ve never had a day at work where my internet was perfect, but I’m not quitting my job over it. We are also in the middle of a freaking ocean, so it’s pretty impressive to have any service at all. The food was ...
We picked this transitional cruise because the 6 days at sea gave us plenty of time to relax.
Embarkation was chaotic. We had used the Medallion app to provide all required info well ahead of time. We were given an 11:30 check-in time. We found that the Priority line for boarding (Platinum and Elite level passengers) was significantly longer and slower than the other line. No explanation given ...
The exception to the quality of this cruise was the internet. I have over 600 days on Princess, and I have grown up with the internet service beginning with 2 computers in a closet about 25 years ago. This time, the internet was available, but the speed was the worst imaginable. You are used to a speed of over 100mbs. The speed of this connection was 5KBS. It would load email if you left it on ...
