I always wanted to go on a trans alantic cruise and found it a very relaxing way to cross the ocean. The Princess Caribbean was a great ship and lots to do during the day or night. I didnt really like the upgrade or re-do of the buffet on Lido deck, less choices to eat, but I really enjoyed dining in the palm dining room for breakfast, supper.I always wanted to see Paris, but it was real cold, but ...
After several cruises, we decided to go for a transatlantic one and see how we would like so many days at sea. We liked it a lot!
We live in Florida and rented a car through Budget for drop off near the cruise pier. This worked real well and the Budget shuttle was a good one. Since we would be flying home from London, leaving our car in parking was not an option. I would recommend Budget for ...
This was our first Transatlantic voyage. The renovations to the ship were very noticeable as we had sailed twice before. Enjoyed the BBQ based Planks restaurant which replaced the Horizon buffet. They had great tasting options for breakfast and lunch at no charge.
The new beds were very comfortable for us but we did hear a few people had to have a board put under the mattress.
The formal ...
We had an adequate transatlantic crossing. It had some good points, but overall was just OK. We've been on 22 cruises and traveled many lines, some luxury and some mass market, but this was our first time on Princess. First the things we liked:
Embarcations & Disembarkations: The ship was delayed in reaching Ft. Lauderdale for our departure, but we received warning e-mails, and we followed ...
I wanted to do a Transatlantic and see the ports I had never seen this ship came out of dry dock without completing the work. They were still laying carpet while cruising. Some plumbing was not working. Staff was not well trained for this ship. They changed their menu and it was not very good. If this had been my first Princess cruise I would never sail Princess Again. The boarding was also ...
50th Anniversary Celebration and the excellent itinerary!
We booked this cruise to celebrate our 50th anniversary and husband's birthday! We loved the itinerary because we were able to see ports never visited before! We love sea days and this cruise gave us lots of relaxing, unhurried days to do whatever we wanted....or to do nothing at all. The food was very good but the staff makes any ...
We chose this cruise as we are Elite Princess cruisers and this trans-Atlantic cruise gave us a chance to end up in London to spend some time with our youngest son and his wife.
We booked a Club Class mini-suite. We will never book Club Class again. It is a total rip-off for the price difference. Costing you hundreds or thousands of dollars, depending on the length of the cruise, for the ...
This was our 4th transatlantic cruise, the 3rd one on Princess. It had nice ports, 2 of them we never had visited. 14 night cruise.
Ship was in dry dock 12 days in the Bahamas before we boarded. I read some of the refurbishing details, as they were replacing bedding, carpeting, lido deck eatery and some restaurants. I have been on this ship 3 previous times and actually was able to book a ...
Embarkation was 4 hours late in starting, no heat for days despite 40 degrees outside. Numerous calls and visits to desk were put on back burner. Excursion very expensive and the worst we've ever taken. Taken to Paris given ticket and when clearing security us, and several others were dumped no guide no group. Had to search for group and had no time to check out area or even to pickup a souvenir. ...
The first couple of days were rough, starting with embarkation, which was delayed and slow as could be when it actually got started. That was unusual for Princess, but the ship just got out of dry dock and had some.issues. There was water on the stateroom floor and very loud noises keeping us awake, however Princess took care of the problems and moved us to a different stateroom which turned out ...
