Princess Houston Cruise Reviews

This was our first time sailing with Princess and I wasn't impressed with the overall cruise. I've been on eight different ships and Princess was our fourth cruise line to sail with. For me its not about the cruise line but the overall ship experience as each ship is a bit different in design and what they have to offer. Embarkation was a breeze. We live in Houston and paid to park in the ...

We booked this cruise about 8 weeks before sailing to get away from the rainy Pacific Northwest and once again Princess delivered a great holiday. We got lucky and did not have to deal with fog or high winds in the Houston port area so our embarkation and disembarkation went like clockwork. Princess gets high grades for overall service from the friendly crew, excellent dining, and superb ...

We are sophisticated, educated world travelers, accustomed to 5 star accommodations, yet keep coming back to Princess because of its overall excellence, traditions and summer camp spirit, comfort, excursion choices, good food and wine. What a VALUE ! Truly a bargain. This was our 7 th Princess cruise. Sailed once on Celebrity and were disappointed. And are put off by upscale, pretentious, ...

just got off CB. It is excellent value for a cruise and it is a shame it is not going to be based in Houston after April. Activities were numerous-at times you could not do everything you wanted. Service was excellent-a throwback to days before now when more cabins per worker and more tables mean a decrease in service. We did Cozumel, which has a nice new shopping pier there, Roatan, and ...

We have previously been on Norwegian (3 times) and were looking to try another cruise line. The Caribbean Princess sailing out of Houston seemed to fit out schedule and price range well, so we signed on. Our first concern was the transfers from IAH airport - we didn't have a time or anything to meet, so we just showed up at 9:30 (we flew in the day before and stayed at an airport hotel with ...

We've cruised Princess before and had an excellent experience. Overall, this cruise wasn't a negative experience, it was just ok. The ship has plenty of bars, restaurants, pools, etc. but it is PACKED with people. In the evening the theater had more people than seats. Elevator wait time was significant and often the elevators exceeded capacity. The buffet felt like a cattle shoot. After ...

We have sailed on the Caribbean Princess before. So when our TA showed us the price for this cruise we jumped on the deal.Had not sailed from Houston before so it was a new experience. The port is known as an iffy place to leave from this time of year. Winds and fog are the big problem. So that could be why the price was so low. We are both retired. I am 70 and wife is 63. This was our 15th ...

Overall it was an okay cruise. We booked last minute because of the cheap fare. It was an okay cruise, very full. Lots of families, and apparently lots of trouble makers as many people ended up in "jail" and were taken off the ship. The CB is getting worn, and needs a very good cleaning. Chairs throughout the ship are stained and worn. In the buffet especially the chairs are very ...

Are all cruise ships this boring? This was our first cruise and we really did not know what to expect. Before we left, our friends went on and on about all of the on board activities and the food. Our travel agent assured us we would not be bored—wrong! The food in the dining room was very good, and the service was excellent. We had Anytime dinning and we only had a long wait (40 minutes) ...

This review is one of my most difficult. Up front I must say that the cruise wasn’t in any way, shape, or form, bad. But neither was it particularly good. It was, I suppose, boringly average. This was our 19th cruise, but our first with Princess Cruise Lines. It will, most assuredly be our last with Princess. The ship that is the subject of this review is the Caribbean Princess, sailing the week ...
