We chose this cruise because we live in Southern CA and it was less travel to be on a cruise. We haven't gone for a number of years, for obvious reasons, and looked forward to the days at sea, port activities, and the destinations. The first afternoon on the ship, we went to the "app" to get dinner reservations for that night and found out that we did NOT have dinner (table or time) for the entire ...
I choose this cruise because of my 87 year old aunt, someone in her age group told her that they like Princess and that’s the one they use. There were issues from the time we made it to embarkment, it was a disaster the lines were wrapped around and issues with having enough porters to handle the luggage. Once aboard the ship, the steward assigned to our room introduced herself and I explained to ...
We were so excited to do a two week cruise to Hawaii for our anniversary. We have cruised most of the major lines but never Princess so that added to our excitement.
Quick summary - it is an overall decent ship that, for me was completely soured by my poor SPA experience
Use of technology - 5/5
Beds - 5/5
Room comfort - 1/5
Focus on disease prevention - 1/5
SPAs - 0/5 ...
My wife and I had been on one other cruise prior to this one. It was on the Discovery Princess to Alaska in June, 2022. We enjoyed it very much. So we decided to take the 15-day cruise to Hawaii, from LA, on the Crown Princess in December 2022. There were no health restrictions required and we felt that it would be a safe trip. One of our hard-shell suitcases was cracked when it was delivered ...
We were in Los Angeles already and wanted to remain out west for Thanksgiving holidays. Having been on 37 cruises, though never Princess, we decided to try this short trip to Cabo. We knew it would have many children and families, and figured we could overlook that.
Embarkation was fine, and the ship seemed reasonably attractive and well appointed. Our room, a balcony cabin, had a large ...
airlines beat up my electric wheel chair. Princess wanted $20.00 per day to use one of their many many wheel chairs. I was almost trapped in my room for 28 days. Also they didn't have much to do one the days at sea. No cooking classes, special events and such. A very stupid ceremony for crossing the equator. It was chocolate sauce, hot sauce and such poured over the people. Also the movies really ...
Could not believe how bad this cruise was. First the positive: great enrichment speakers, cabin steward and waiters at 5:30 seating were very good. While the TV did not have as many stations or screen qualiy as the Royal Princess (3 cruises in the last two years), the TV had a sleep timer on it while the Royal did not (Princess customer service was not aware that their new ships do not have ...
The embarkation went very well, but the disembarkation was a little a little rough around the edges. The ship was very well maintained and we had a balcony which had a lot of storage room. I would like to have a hand held shower head like other cruise lines. Dining was nothing special. If I would rate the ship by the food, I would give it a 2. Some of the meals were over cooked. Something is ...
My husband and I chose this cruise so that we could go to Seattle from Vancouver and take a short cruise to get there.
This was our first time on Princess, but since this was just a short cruise, we thought we would try it.
The entire experience was really very poor. The ship may have been refurbished, but the layout is really terrible with small areas, narrow stairs and difficult to find ...
This was my 22nd cruise and approximately the 8th for my wife. This was my 5th Princess cruise and my wife's third. We are active 30 somethings and we like to do a lot of activities on cruise ships and ashore. We went into this cruise knowing that it wouldn't have the same level of activities as Royal or Carnival, but even with lowered expectations, we were disappointed.
We arrived the day ...
