Princess Caribbean Princess Cruise Reviews for Senior to the Panama Canal & Central America from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

We just returned from a 10-day Princess Panama Canal cruise. If you are thinking of it, read this and think long and hard. This was our 3rd cruise with Princess. I did this cruise pre covid with my mother, about 8 years ago. I was so excited to show my husband and grown son all the cool things but much has changed and to me, not for the better, This will be my last trip with Princess. The ...

We had not sailed with Princess for many years, but this itinerary was just perfect for us so we booked it even with mediocre reviews. The ship was great, even perfect for a Panama canal experience as she has a lot of open decks and you could really experience the canal and the locks to the fullest with great, open views available everywhere: Great forward observation, open deck on deck 15, ...

We chose this trip because we live where it's cold and it was on sale with extra perks from prestigecruises.com. We are not exclusive on what cruise line we travel with. Our embarkation time was 1:00 but it appeared we could have come sooner. We sailed right through because I'd done everything to get us in the green line on line before the trip and our medallions had been mailed to us. Our room ...

We selected this cruise when our full transit Panama Canal cruise was cancelled in 2021. Although we were not thrilled to cruise on an older ship, and had heard negative reviews about her, we decided to give it a try. The itinerary was supposed to include Jamaica, Costa Rica, Cartagena, Panama Canal, and Grand Cayman. Due to a Cuban refugee rescue we missed Jamaica, and due to weather ...

Overall it was a good cruise. The ships indoor public areas were very nice and had been updated. We typically cruise on Celebrity and liked how the bars and different venues on the Caribbean Princess were more separated and seemed more intimate. The outside pool areas were nice but could use some updating. We enjoyed the four different pool areas. Two of the pool areas are adult only which is ...

I opted for this cruise over the holidays to see the Panama Canal for the first time. I was also excited to visit Cartagena, Columbia and Costa Rica as well. We used the bidding system to upgrade from a balcony to a Club Class Mini-Suite. Given the length of the cruise and the number of sea days, we were very happy for the upgrade. Club Class allowed for us to board early, have a larger cabin ...

REASONS FOR PICKING: 1. Never seen Panama Canal or South America before, so those were 2. Needed a holiday season cruise and on short notice. 3. Have cruised many times, but never with Princess. Wanted to see how it stacked up for vs its sister line Carnival or vs other premium lines like Holland WHAT WENT RIGHT: 1. Planning the cruise was easy 2. Getting on and off the ship was ...

All hat and no cattle 10 day Caribbean Princess December 2022 We have done 9 modern cruises - Norwegian x 3, Royal Caribbean x2, Holland America x2, MSC x1, and two off brand small boats--Amazon and Nile rivers. #10 is our first Princess. We were underwhelmed. Princess Cruises has invested a massive amount of money in big brother tech, and it is worth mentioning. This medallion is ...

We took this cruise because we wanted to see the Panama Canal. Which by the way was fantastic! BUT...... on the second day of our cruise we picked up 13 migrants off the coast of Cuba - which took approximately 3 hours. Our next stop was supposed to be Jamacia - well we had to pass on that because of the delay in picking up the migrants. THEN - no one told us you have to book an excursion to get ...

Reviews The Bad We booked a 10-day Princess Caribbean cruise from Fort Lauderdale last December 18th to the 28th, 2022. I hate to say that this was the most disappointing cruise experience that we had compared to the other cruise lines. Out of the ten days, we were on the ship for 7 days and just docked at the 3 ports (Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica) of our itineraries. The 2 most ...
