We chose this cruise because of the ports and were very satisfied. We did not enjoy the My-Time dining and are hoping they will change back to early and late dining. We made our request for the same time each night, with the same people. The app erased all that on e we got on the ship. We had one couple each night and the rest changed each night and came at different times. We had to wait until ...
This was the 3rd time we attempted to go on this circle cruise. There was a group of 6, my husband, myself, my sister & her husband & another couple who are friends we met about 5 years ago on another Caribbean cruise. We had two main reason for picking this particular cruise.....the number of islands we would visit & that 2 of the guys would be able to go scuba diving on 5 of those. ...
Cruise was fine til I broke 2 toes after I fell transitioning from the Hot tube to the deck. there was an area that was uneven and there were no wet floor signs. I think the deck is slippery and I have very good balance and haven't fallen on over 20 years. Medical staff were great but I was in a boot and wheelchair for the rest of the cruise. Dinning staff were excellent and staff in general ...
I have been on Princess cruises in the past, before Covid, so will detail the differences brought about by Covid precautions.
This cruise took place at a transitional point in the post-Covid/Omicron resumption. There were about 1600 passengers on board, half of the normal capacity. Three days into the cruise, per a change in CDC recommendations, the rules changed from masks required in all ...
We've been on 8 Princess cruises and 12 with other lines. it's been my favorite until this cruise. It's not that it was bad but it wasn't as good as others we've taken with Princess and I think it's because they are cutting back, especially on the entertainment. I can remember watching the show in the Princess theatre and then rushing to catch another show in the Explorer's lounge. on the few ...
We were on the starboard side, mid-Caribe deck as well. Yes, the air conditioning wasn't able to bring the room down to 'meat locker' temperatures, but our room was mostly comfortable. Room was clean, room steward was very attentive and the overall cruise was awesome.
We always travel to the embarkation city a day early. Ya never know about the weather in the 'great white north'. We went to ...
First time sailing with princess after sailing with carnival in the past on several cruises. Was very impressed with the condition of the ship, attitude of the crew, and food compared to carnival. Ship seemed less packed with passengers than the carnival cruises and crowd probably were in mid 40's and older (I'm mid 50 so better fit with music, waits at the bar, etc). Still plenty of night life ...
The initial trip by cab into the cruise port was long and congested. Don't think that's Princess' fault but they ought to look at that as other lines don't have huge lines for cabs or cars to drop off.
Once out of the cab the staff that greets you (and I use that term lightly) did not direct anyone. You just followed the crowd and hoped it was going to the right ship. I kid you not!
The ...

We were excited about taking a Christmas Cruise, believing that it would be special. However, in our opinion, it fell far short of anything special. Christmas Day at sea was incredibly flat and we truly were disappointing. There were four of us travelling together and our ages varied from 37 to 71 and although we enjoyed our trip, we all felt it wasn't as exciting as we had envisions. We took an ...
