This is my third Princess cruise, second with the medallion app. Last October on the Discovery we thought we were just having bad luck with their technology, but its failure this time around can’t be a coincidence. Trying to upload documents before the cruise was a joke, and it took sitting on hold for TWO HOURS to speak to a live human being to resolve it. We finally got that taken care of, and ...
This was the only sailing during my anniversary. All the dining rooms were booked as they were only open for 4hrs a day. We were forced to eat in the cafeteria dining where the food was most often overcooked or undercooked and rarely open during posted hours. (24hr cafe listed in daily paper)
Ordering on the my way ap took 2-5 hrs to get our order. Only 1 person was attending the bars, pizza, ...
To begin, we spoke to numerous staff members who shared how severely understaffed they were on this ship for our trip. Room service took hours to complete and, that was IF you were lucky enough, they actually came. Guests we spoke with all joked about how useless the medallion app was when ordering anything. People were getting their food and drinks the following day or items that were not at the ...
My wife & I have 32 Princess Cruises over the years. We had about 5 enjoyable trips on this ship when it was new in the early 2004-2006 years. The ship now has a/c that struggles to cool even modestly. Palm dining room was so overly warm gentlemen were removing their jackets. Only the theatre was comfortable.
1. Shows, except for final night "Bravo" (which was superb) were a giant snooze, ...
We chose this cruise to try the NCL brand, the itinerary, and felt at the time, it was a good price. We enjoyed the size of our cabin and the view. We were in an accessible cabin (137** forward) due to my husband having mobility issues. With that being said, we were too far from the elevators and with items almost always left in the narrow hallways, my husband had to fold up his walker many times ...
What I enjoyed:
I really thought that the food in the restaurant was good for the most part and the service was excellent. Waiters really catered to your neeeds and were very personable. The director of the restaurant was very professional and accommodating. The cleaning crew for the cabins were super friendly and did a great job. The Pizza is excellent and the coffee is also pretty good. With ...
Just returned home April 22 2023 I have been cruising with carnival for at least 20 years have gone on many many cruise all with groups of peoples. This last one was a horrible experience no rest noise everywhere young adults were out of control partying in their cabins racing down the hall, fighting,cursing, arguing it was horrible. Excursion were a waste of money Fun Shop was disappointing ...
We took this cruise the week of April 16, 2023 and although we did have a good time, it was not because of anything NCL did. We had Priority Boarding and found the staff in San Diego to be very unhelpful. There was no process for explaining or assisting with Priority Boarding which we paid extra for. Seemed like it was simply a charge without any service. My wife asked a NCL representative how we ...
We decided to try Princess Cruises for our first post-COVID cruise. We have been on 26 other cruises, all but one on Royal Caribbean or Celebrity. We purchased as a two week Caribbean cruise but it was also sold as 2 one week cruises. We chose a mini suite with the Princess Plus package. Here are a few of the issues we had:
- Notified two days before cruise that boarding times were changing due ...
Overall I had a wonderful cruise. The weather was perfect except for one really hot day. The ports were as expected. Nice and relaxing with no major sites to see but good places to just enjoy. The ship is definitely showing some age but the smaller size is wonderful. I stayed in C2**. I loved staying on the 10th floor. Perfect location for anything I wanted to do. The gym opened at 6 am ...
