1-10 of 59 Southampton to Baltic Sea Princess Crown Princess Cruise Reviews
We chose this cruise because we wanted to see many of the cities and areas the cruise visited in Norway and actually, despite being quite an expensive cruise, at the price we got it it was pretty close to what we would have to pay if we had trained/planed/driven and paid for food and accommodation to the same ports and areas on the ground.
Choosing a cruise because of travel goals rather than ...
Visiting Norway has always been on my bucket list. I am so glad we went.
Ship overall: We have travelled with Princess (Ruby and Crown), Carnival (Spirit), MSC (Fantasia), Costa (Deliziosa), P&O (Pacific Dawn), Celebrity (Reflection), Royal Caribbean (Legend of the Seas). One thing we have learned is that, in the end, it's all much of a muchness. And much depends on your own attitude. Keep ...
Second time in seven years to the Norwegian Fjords and North Cape in the same ship - Crown Princess.
Check-in at Southampton was smooth and very quick, our feet hardly touched the floor of the QE Terminal and we got a really nice cheerful welcome from the ship's stewards before boarding - that makes a difference and opposite to the most miserable crew I encountered on Emerald Princess last ...
Firstly, this is lengthy, but I have tried to break it up and hope you get a good overview of the cruise from it.
My wife and I are in our early 50’s and although this was only our second Princess cruise it was the 12th overall. We enjoy the outdoors so this 14 night North Cape and Norwegian Fjords looked a good choice.
We originally booked an MB class mini suite but got a free upgrade ...
We chose this cruise because of the visit to the North Cape. We always choose the location and then see which cruise company is going there. In this case it was Princess. I cannot fault the itinerary. We stopped at some beautiful ports and the scenery was stunning. We did our own thing as the cost of the ship's tours were very expensive. At the North Cape we arranged on the internet for a ...
Loved the itinery- going right up to North Cape was very special; especially as most days the weather was good. First time on Princess; would rank her just below Celebrity but on a par with Royal Carribean. Only disappointment was some of the entertainment with the exception of the "Encore" show on the last night which was amazing. The visiting soprano had a stunning voice and the four princess ...
I chose this cruise because of the itinerary. The only good thing about the cruise. Trips off the ship were far too expensive. One trip Princess was charging 149 US Dollars and it was done locally for 52 US Dollars. A rather large profit for Princess! The times of arrival and departure in port was changed from that on itinerary so lost time in some of the ports. Food in food court on deck 16 was ...
We actually spent 4 days in London prior to the cruise. I arranged for Silver Fleet Car Service to pick us up at Heathrow and take us to the flat we rented on the East End. Ian was our driver and we had fun and informative conversations during our 1 hour drive to the flat. We used the London Pass and the public transportation with the Oyster Card. Highly, highly recommend "Eating London - East End ...
We chose this cruise as a gift for our 17-year-old granddaughter. She wanted to go to St. Petersburg. We chose this cruise rather than the one on the Regal Princess with a similar itinerary because it started and ended in Southampton, England. This gave us the chance to visit one of our favorite cities again. Overall we had a wonderful cruise. Our cabin stewards, especially the first one, were ...
Embarkation good as was disembarkation.Staff as always excellent.Food mostly was good inM.D.R. Buffet lunch was ok.

Entertainment--Terry Butcher was good. Jonathon from G4. Was good. Saw both his shows.Robbie ...
