We chose this 49 day cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angeles because of the itinerary and because we would only have to fly once from Los Angeles to FL and only drive from Los Angeles back home. We chose Princess because we thought we would have an above average experience.
Princess failed to impress us and although we are close to elite status, will have to rethink going on our next ...
We have sailed 21 cruises with Princess and over 200 days total and the only two times we have been truly disappointed have been on the Royal Princess. The first time the Royal was new and we had sincere major concerns over the lack of mid ship stairs and mid aisle stairs in the theater both of which we considered safety factors. To Princess credit we discovered they had corrected both of those ...
We chose this Cruise for the itinerary and the "reputation" of the Cruse Line. A lesson in not believing in their own PR! They failed in every aspect of their published standards.
Dress Code in main dining venues simply ignored by management (i do not blame the guests) Food was rather Hit & Miss.The constant interruptions as the waiting staff are made to up-sell either drinks or substituting ...
Two cruises, back-to-back on the Royal in Dec. 2018, Arrived with a high dust line on edges in state-room. We wipe our staterooms with anti-viral peroxide wipes - NEVER HAVE WE RECOVERED SO MUCH FILTH ESPECIALLY ON THE RETURN AIR GRATE. Bathroom linens have been cheapened for our travel category. Definitely a decline in public restroom service, as paper towel bins regularly overflowed throughout ...
I must say, embarkation and debarkation were the best I've ever had on all the cruises I've done. I'm sure it had something to do with the fact that we are now in a higher level as a Princess passenger but we also had a Club Class balcony mini suite which offers many extra perks. We felt the quality of the food in the main dining room was lacking its quality compared to our past Princess cruises. ...
We've cruised on Royal and Norwegian before. This is our twelfth cruise. We went the week of Thanksgiving. We were hoping there wouldn't be a lot of children. We were wrong! There were just too many kids for me. I have two (grown) children of my own, but this cruise could have been a Disney cruise, in my opinion. The entire pool area was overrun with rude unattended children. I should have ...
Any time dining is far from any time. Had to wait 30 mins even with a reservation, why even offer any time if there is none. Woman at the door of Concertos was extremely rude.
Food was not what you would expect from a flagship of Princesses fleet stake was over done and un-edible. Menus were very limited every day of the cruise. Ended up using the buffet which had a better selection of food and ...
We wanted to give Princess another try since we use to sail with them many times. this was our 14th cruise with Princess. We have been on most of them. Theater seats and deck chairs were never available. There were no accommodations for disabled in the theater, or pool side. Passengers would put stuff on chairs no matter how many times they were told no reservation of theater or deck chairs, ...
Chose this last minute cruise because it got us away from the 'Beast from the East' that was enveloping the UK. Not sure what has happened to the standard of Princess, since our last trip on the sister Regal Princess two years ago, that was fantastic.
Food was always warm not hot and menu repetetive.
Anytime dining was a NoNo with the staff they have guarding the door. 40 minute wait and ...
The entertainment was great. The food quality left a lot to be desired. I felt hounded by the staff to buy things from the ship all the time.
My room wasn't well layed out.
The food in the premium restaurant was very good. We loved The Steakhouse.
We got to see a world premier of Secret Silk.
The theater was always overloaded. We had to arrive at least 1 hour before show time to get ...
