We traveled with our family-2 kids under 10 and 2 adults. The ship was dated (stains on lounge seats, theater chairs, etc. The main hall of this ship was very congested on floor 5 and it did not feel like a grand cruise. The pool was crowded and by the end of the days at sea- green/discolored from all of the use. We couldn’t get off the ship fast enough. Another problem is that the nightly ...
My wife & I have 32 Princess Cruises over the years. We had about 5 enjoyable trips on this ship when it was new in the early 2004-2006 years. The ship now has a/c that struggles to cool even modestly. Palm dining room was so overly warm gentlemen were removing their jackets. Only the theatre was comfortable.
1. Shows, except for final night "Bravo" (which was superb) were a giant snooze, ...
Embarkation was a breeze and we were able to make our mandatory muster station visit upon boarding.
We chose this sailing for the 9 night itinerary with 5 ports. St. Thomas was cancelled because of medical emergency with a diversion to Nassau, but that happens and we wish the patient well. We were Impressed with how quickly the port taxes and shore excursion refunds appeared in our online ...
As a long time RCCL cruiser this is our third time on this ship. We figured we couldn’t go wrong since the other times were great. It all started with our Anniversary package not being in our room. The very cheapest of decorations were up, but no champagne or strawberries. We were told it to wait until the end of the night and it “should” show up. By the next morning we made our first trip to the ...
I chose this cruise because we were told this was a new , Clean ship , That it had a good reputation and also the ports appealed to us .
At first we did not mind flying in and put of Ft lauderdale . But I don't think that we will Ever fly in and out of that airport Ever again !!!
We also were told that not many kids were on this ship . Which seemed true . We did not really see that many ...
We decided to try Princess Cruises for our first post-COVID cruise. We have been on 26 other cruises, all but one on Royal Caribbean or Celebrity. We purchased as a two week Caribbean cruise but it was also sold as 2 one week cruises. We chose a mini suite with the Princess Plus package. Here are a few of the issues we had:
- Notified two days before cruise that boarding times were changing due ...
Overall I had a wonderful cruise. The weather was perfect except for one really hot day. The ports were as expected. Nice and relaxing with no major sites to see but good places to just enjoy. The ship is definitely showing some age but the smaller size is wonderful. I stayed in C2**. I loved staying on the 10th floor. Perfect location for anything I wanted to do. The gym opened at 6 am ...
My family stayed in a sky suite (S1) for the 4/9/23 sailing. The cabin overall was very nice and spacious. Our cabin steward was amazing. There were a couple of things that were missing and should be improved - one is the fact that there was only one electrical outlet in the cabin and the other was there was no place to hang and dry swimwear. There was no clothesline in the shower and we are ...
I am incredibly disappointed with HAL. I have traveled multiple times with this line and was always delighted.
That is not the case with my recent sailing on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Cleanliness was not a priority. In my cabin room, debris, old contacts, and gooey stuff were left in the trashcan, the bathroom floor wasn't clean, and neither was the area around the sink. The countertops in the ...
Stateroom 61** on April 2 sailing.

-Timely room service every morning ...
