Lots of British stops we haven't been to so picked this cruise. Medallion App doesn't work every time so easiest thing to ring Princess before you sail to set up you info, and once aboard, if you order more than one drink at a time , even if you have the drinks package, you get billed for the drinks- have to go to reception to remove payment. Embarkation a doddle - 10 min from arriving at ...

This was our 10th Cruise, and we enjoyed Princess on two previous cruises. So we decided on this cruise because of previous satisfaction with Princess and for not having a lot of SeaDays and the amount of time in Port, every port. Firstly, they have to make the Medallion method more user friendly. After using this system, I don't know how this is any better than any previous systems of ...

This was a British Isles cruise not Alaska and we chose it because it allowed us to attend the Edinburgh Military Tattoo while docked in Glasgow. This would have been wonderful except that I missed all of the Scotland ports due to being quarantined for Covid (my husband did get to go and he said it was great) and my husband also missed several ports due to Covid (he tested + a few days after me). ...

From good to bad....Kids club amazing!! My 5 year old son loved it and could not wait to get back there. Lots of free stuff for him with all the activities. Service on board excellent. Food nothing special or amazing, seamed to have run out of some stuff mid cruise in the bufffet. Entertainment ok. Charged for shuttles and transfers to destinations not great. Ship shore excursions extortionate. ...

We are Platinum members, having cruised with Princess before, and pre-pandemic they had become our favourites. This cruise was originally booked for November 2020 (to the Med) but was subsequently cancelled or rearranged 6 times. We were looking forward to it. I sweated over the Medallion app for a day and got all our information on it. I also booked 2 excursions and pre-booked the wifi. Even ...

We wanted to make a cruise around Great Britain, because it is close to our country and in Europe. We learned to know Princess Cruises as a company with a good variety of food on clean vessels. This cruise showed us, that this impression is nowadays not correct. The toilets were normally not cleaned, the dust an rubbish on the floors layed there for hours. The internet and also the medallion ...

We've cruised all of the Caribbean, New England/Canada, Alaska, Mexico, Bahamas (Costa) and I've cruised the Med on HAL. This itinerary was a natural progression. We arrived a few weeks after Queen's Platinum Jubilee and so many decorations were still visible. We wish Princessair would have flown us in to alternate airports other than Heathrow with all the trouble they caused themselves. ...

This was our 3rd attempt for this British Isles cruise as we had booked it pre pandemic. We were very much looking forward to it. Embarkation was relatively quick & straightforward. We were surprised however that we were required to wear face masks in all communal areas due to a covid outbreak on the previous cruise. Our first night in the De Vinci main dining room was not a pleasant ...

Round UK cruise from Southampton. The ship is tired and has signs of wear and tear. The floor of the main pool deck is churned up. The metal trim in the dinner room ceilings are stained and rusted. Food is mediocre at best. Portion sizes are very small. Princess have stopped most of the extra special luxuries that make cruising special. Consequently it feels more like a cross channel ferry. ...
