First let me say we are elite on Princess and love the cruise line. We only wanted to be gone around a week and have an easy flight from New York and so we chose this cruise. Our two days in London were fabulous ( I wish we had more time) we took the Princess package with their reliable pick-up at the airport and a very nice clean modern business hotel The Pullman St. Pancreas with a fabulous ...
Having never cruised with Princess before I was initially disappointed with the standard, however, following this cruise we had a Royal Caribbean cruise which made me revise my opinion! Check in at Southampton was busy but still got through without too much waiting and found our cabin easily enough. Our interior stateroom was comfortable but as stated in previous reviews the little coffee table is ...
We are Elite level with Princess and Diamond Plus with RCCL. This gives us a good perspective about what to expect.
We recently became grandparents and took our daughter, husband and 9 month old granddaughter. We thought it would be a good opportunity for them to have some quality time and for us to have time with the new addition to the family. It worked perfectly.
Our daughter a regular ...
Embarkation - Busy but well handled. Food: In Horizon's, always good choice and quality generally very good. Serving areas looked too small but never really had an issue getting our food. Seating area obviously busy but, again, always got a seat. Usually had to share a table but great way to meet people. Da Vinci/Michaelangelo restaurants - Ate twice in Michaelangelo and service was slow but never ...
Before we went on this cruise I was worried by the size of the ship, but I needed have been as everything ran like clockwork. We never waited for food, theatre or to get off or on the ship. The food was good, entertainment in the theatre was excellent. The only slight downside was the arrangement of sporting events. There were 490 children onboard, but we hardly ever saw any The childrens clubs ...
This was our 4th time on Emerald Princess but our first time cruising in the Baltic Sea.
Knowing the ship well we booked again a Caribe deck cabin as the balconies are just the best for the cabin category.
I’m not keen on Southampton embarkations and prefer to fly, but this cruise was so keenly priced for a 14 night cruise I wasn’t going to let it put me off. In fact the sailaway from ...
Well, My wife and I booked our fourth cruise about 6 weeks before we were due to set sail. Fourteen days around the Baltics sounded fantastic and considering the price we paid, we were extremely happy!
Ship: The ship itself is very similar to the Grand Princess which we traveled on before but this was not a problem, it just meant we were able to find our way around a little easier. The decor was ...
This was our first time on a Princess Cruise. We have traveled on Celebrity a couple of times before. The ship was real nice, especially the Piazza area. I was also impressed on how it never seemed overcrowded in most areas. There were not many young people on the cruise, maybe due to the itinerary. We flew into London the day before departure and took a National Express coach to Southampton. This ...
This was my 5th cruise and first with Princess (been Royal Caribbean, MSC and Costa previously). Booked to celebrate our Silver wedding anniversary we chose the Baltic capitals as a celebratory trip leaving our teenage daughter at home this time. We chose Princess after comparing prices, itinerary, available cabins etc.
We really enjoyed our trip, visited some great cities and were blessed by ...
You have to know that a ship will never be cleaner than when it is coming off a cruise that had a norovirus outbreak which delayed your sailing - and it was so. Check in was delayed by 2 hours, and then there was a further 2 hour lineup since everyone seemed to arrive at once. We walked on with our carry on bags (which is all we take) and found our cabin without difficulty. Several things were not ...
