We’ve cruised a lot on Holland America & have tried 4 other lines. To put it in perspective, Princess hits the bottom ranking. Had a great cruise consultant & the app seemed promising. Originally booked for May to Alaska, but once in Seattle, they offered us an upgrade to rebook. Reimbursement for airfare changes was to be awarded in 4-6 weeks….called at 8 weeks & was told that they were working ...

Lack of interesting onboard activities was a real disappointment

This cruise was a disappointment. Two ports were cancelled (one third of the total) because of weather and no alternate ports were substituted thiugh it seems like they could have easily been added without a deviation from the revised route. The onboard activities were uninteresting, consisting of things like zumba classes, line dancing, and penny whistle classes. There was only one enrichment ...

Chose cruise for ports of call. Cruise experience did not meet previous princess standards. The crown is dated and not well maintained. The hotel staff were not as informed as prior cruises. Meal quality definately has declined. Dining room service was rushed. Since carnival acquired princess the past two cruises have been less than satisfying. On board pricing has increased and quality has ...

When on our previous 24 cruises with other cruise lines, we often saw Princess ships in port. We always admired the look of these and since they attract quite a high "official" rating, we decided that one day we would sail Princess. We live in the UK so when the Round Great Britain programme featured the Crown Princess, we booked with excited anticipation. Oh dear....we were so let down and ...

Lack of service/poor ship maintenance

This was my 15th cruise and my third with Princess. The quality has definitely declined since the merger. We we first ordered to surrender our passports!?! Before boarding the ship. I can’t believe Princess would send passengers into a foreign country on the excursions after taking their passports and refusing to give them back! Princess stated that was a rule of the embarkation group who ...

Excursion Cancellations & Flooded Cabin

I chose this cruise specifically due to the fact that it included Liverpool and a Deluxe Beatles tour that included access to inside tours of John Lennon and Paul McCartney's childhood homes. Due to a series of events, my excursion was cancelled and I was told there was no room of any of the three lesser Beatles tours available. What lead to this? First, bad weather prevented us from tendering ...

We have cruised 18 times with Princess and with the exception of this last cruise, it has always been excellent. This cruise was a bargain basement boat ride. It was a costly, disorganized, irritating disaster. The Versailles tour was an aggravating nightmare, depriving us of the opportunity of a lifetime. Princess was responsible for a 45 minute late start. The tour category of moderate should ...

This was my 4th Princess cruise and may be my last. The cruise started in Southampton England. It just came from transitioning over from Fort Lauderdale and a good number of guests stayed on board for the second part of the cruise. The ship holds approximately 3,000 guests. Day 1. Upon arrival, our room was available enabling us immediate access. The room looked like it hadn't been thoroughly ...

I took it because it stopped at 3 ports in Iceland--that part was great. However, I booked an OCEAN VIEW CABIN. It did NOT have a view of the ocean. Although I complained, the problem was not resolved to my satisfaction. The activities aboard were very few. Hundreds of people jammed into a room to play Trivia because there was nothing else to do, and they had to get another room, so then both ...
