We have, 4 adults, have traveled together for over 40 years. We were disappointed in our balcony cabin as it was tired-dated bedding, decor, tile cracked in bathroom but good storage. Day one we rented a bungalow in the Sanctuary. Too far to walk so they changed to bungalow. Day went well although island could use some landscaping. Tram never came to pick us up so we walked halfway and a waitress ...
After cruising on Royal Caribbean for most of our previous dozen plus cruises, we took this 15 day cruise to the Hawaiian Islands aboard the Grand Princess. To be honest, we took this cruise mostly for it's itinerary. We have neighbors who sail Princess almost exclusively and after listening to them, felt comfortable taking our first Princess cruise.
We had our friends who live just a bit north ...
Hi my name is Larry and I am from Missouri, I have sailed on Princess many times, in face my wife and I are Elite members. I really don't have any problems with Princess except one, I have traveled with them from several years back, and each year we see Princess getting less and less in service, itineraries and overall service. The places where Princess now visit are all the tourist traps, and ...
I have been on almost all the different cruise lines and I have to tell you this was the WORST I have ever been on!
I will start out First to say I have Medical issues and need to use a Wheel Chair for boarding long walking, and have a very difficult time with stairs. I took this Princess Cruise with My Twin Sister, As I always do I notified them of my Medical Issues and I was assured there would ...
So our cruise started out wonderfully, we arrived the day before the cruise left in Fort Lauderdale, stayed at the Courtyard Inn by Marriott off of Griffin drive, They also provide a shuttle service in the evening which take you to local area restaurants and shopping. We ended up at Bass Pro Shop, for dinner and the Islamorada. Was spectacular so we had a great dinner and afterward we went to ...
Arrived in Florida on Tuesday ahead of a Saturday sailing on the Grand Princess. Stayed at a Hampton at Cypress Creek on the north side of Fort Lauderdale. This is a convenient location for avoiding most traffic while visiting Olas Blvd and enjoying the views and food at Ft. Lauderdale Beach. Had three excellent meals--at H20 at the beach, at the Melting Pot in FL near the Galleria Mall, and at ...
We had a wonderful time the 2nd week of January 2013 on the Grand Princess. My husband and I decided to go on this cruise for a romantic get away without our child (teenager). We read the reviews and wondered about a couple of people describing the cruise as "the entertainment was boring or there was nothing to do". I can assure you this is not the case, however, we think we figured out why ...
First of all this is actually 2 back to back 7 day cruises not 1ea 14 day cruise as is sold. This equates to being at sea for a large amount of the time because the ship has to return to Ft Lauderdale in order to disembark some passengers and the taking on of new passengers for which ever leg of the trip that will start anew. Alone that's a 2 day at sea trip coming and going (4 days). Now add on ...
This was cruise number 46 and the 6th on Princess. We now live in Fort Lauderdale so getting to the Grand Princess was only a taxi ride away. We took the line's advice and got to the terminal a few minutes before 2PM. Getting on was a breeze. We ask for the priority line and were told it was closed since there was not need for it at the time of our embarkation.
First impressions of the ...
This was our 6th Princess cruise & overall was pretty good. Our cabin on Baha deck was smaller than many others we've had, but perfectly adequate, plenty of storage, but oh dear, they need to upgrade the bathrooms & get rid of the shower curtain! The Balcony also showed signs of wear & tear, however it was very clean & our steward Pepito was so hard working, nothing was to much trouble. The ...
