Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) to Europe Princess Grand Princess Cruise Reviews

I write this as a passenger, previous customer, and from the perspective of someone who was on the Grand Princess when it made its last transatlantic trip from Southampton to Florida last Sept/Oct 2010 (pre-dry-dock). And one who made an identical crossing one year earlier.To be clear, the press on the refit and the video diary on YouTube made this cruise appear as if the ship was "all-new" and ...

Having read all the reviews of this cruise, we can only say Amen. This ship was not ready to sail, it was filthy, unfinished in dramatic ways, full of uncaring, uninformed, rude to the extreme, staff. The only kindness we were shown was dining room staff, DaVinci, our room steward and one lone guy on the purser's desk. We spent 16 miserable days and nights with no air conditioning or after a ...

We booked this cruise to celebrate a birthday and because we have always enjoyed sailing on the Grand. It was our 43rd sailing on Princess and 8th on the Grand. Embarkation We used Princess Air and flew to Ft Lauderdale.

Embarkation: We booked our own air and flew to Ft Lauderdale with stops in Las Vegas and Nashville. A little excitement as we had to abort the landing in Fort Lauderdale due to a plane still on the runway. After a ...

My wife and I were on the Grand Princess for the transatlantic cruise out of Fort Lauderdale on April 10th. After reading the negative reviews submitted for this cruise, I am trying to figure out if we were on the same cruise because we had a great time. We enjoyed almost every aspect of the cruise. The problem was that the average age of the passengers, I bet, was well into the late 70's if not ...

My mom has always wanted to go on a cruise, and as she is getting older, she decided that this was the time. As I have cruised before, she asked me to organize it. My sister is a teacher, so we had to go on Spring Break. Once we had the destination picked out, then it was easy for me to decide which cruise I wanted. I have only travelled on Princess, and I really like them, and will probably ...
