Princess is killing the cruising experience

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Ruby Princess

Princess, what happened? I’ve been on close to 40 cruises, including over 100 days with princess, and this was by far the worst cruise I’ve ever taken. When I go on a cruise, I choose the itinerary, the food, and entertainment as reasons to cruise. Halfway through this trip to Panama Canal, I have been let down so much that for the first time, I am actually posting how disappointed I am on a ...

I have cruised many times, and this was my first and LAST Princess cruise. The ship was filthy, mold everywhere including in the toilet in our cabin. Service was non-existent, food was mediocre on a good day. Reservations were not honored, so we mainly ate pizza and soft serve ice cream for 10 days. Buckets were in hallways catching drips, auto doors slammed open and shut all day. Talent was ...

Have done 30 Princess Cruises and we are Elites. This is by far the WORST EVER cruise we have taken. Masks became a recommendation in Fort Lauderdale. Far to soon and KN95 masks still should have been a REQUIRMENT at this time. Needless to say there a huge outbreak of Covid ensued and despite being fully vaccinated and boosted developed Covid and my husband and I never saw each other again until ...

The worst trip we have ever taken on Princess. Appalling food, bland, dry freezer burned fish, same thing served over and over. There was too much salt in everything served. Dreadful RUDE inappropriate, culturally ignorant entertainers. Why on earth did they leave Fort Lauderdale with masks as only a recommendation? KN95 masks should have been required. WHY did Princess want to make around 200 ...

First time on Princess and not impressed

I have been on cruises before, but not with Princess. I had high expectations based on reviews. To put it simply, there was a lot of misinformation, poor planning, and the atmosphere was just lacking. Let me at least start with the positive: Food was great. That Pizza is Amazing. There were a FEW staff that were actually pleasant. Mostly the issues I experienced were just a lot of little things. ...

Embarkation was tremendously slow due to continued "computer glitches." There were not many people in line, but our guy simply struggled to get the information into the system that allows us to get on our way - nt a huge deal, but we stood at the counter for 20 minutes. We were excited that "anytime dining" was offered. I don't know if this is new to Princess, but they had no clue how to do it. ...

We had a great time on the Princess Alaska cruise so we decided to take a relaxing winter break on the Ruby Princess to Grand Turk and Princess Cay. It was not good. The dining service was the worst I've ever had on vacation. We did "Anytime Dining" or as Princess says "the flexibility to dine when and with who you choose." What a lie. The first night we had to wait in line about 40 minutes to get ...

I have never been on a cruise that I was counting down the days until it ENDED. This was the worst cruise my husband and I have ever been on. We typically go with RC or Carnival but had decided to book Princess for our honeymoon since it was supposed to be more upscale. Unfortunately, the only thing upscale about this cruise was the price... The service was horrible from the second we got to the ...

My husband and I joined the cruise in Fort Lauderdale on 1st May 2011. Embarkation was speedy and efficient and as we passed through the ship to our cabin, we were reminded how pleasant it was to be greeted by staff, who were just passing by, in such a pleasant and genuine way. It made us feel good. Due to the unexpected and critical illness of my husband last year, we had to cancel all ...

Princess was HORRIBLE

Recently My husband and I were on the Ruby Princess, sailing #R116. Our experience was dreadful. We have heard from Princess -their solution is a $250.00 PP credit on another ship. This is really the epitome of horrid customer service. If I tried to make my customers buy another piece of jewelry with some money toward incentive, they would laugh at me. That's not customer service; that's arrogance ...
