Los Angeles to Pacific Coastal Cruise Reviews

This was my ninth cruise, after two on Disney, five on Royal Caribbean, and most recently one on Carnival just a few weeks back. Unfortunately, this cruise was just "fine" and I've canceled a future NCL cruise to book with another line. This is rare for me - usually I'm clamoring to book another cruise with the same line by the time I've disembarked. I was sailing solo for my birthday and because ...

We decided to give Princess a try for the short 3-day cruise and opted fora mini-suite with the plus package. We started out our first day with lunch in the Skagway didning room so we could try the orance souffle. Service was very odd and our waiter seemed like he really was not having a good morning. When the food did finally arrive it was lukewarm and a little bland. It was just okay. The room ...

First of all- this site is FULL of complainers. Take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. 4.5 review for us. We loved our experience on this ship! We don’t expect 100% perfection. Here are our pros and cons: Pros- Beautiful clean new ship, spacious balcony room, comfy beds, OBSERVATION LOUNGE deck 15- with huge windows and drinks and snacks almost always available- and tons of seating- we ...

I recently embarked on a voyage with Princess Cruise Line on the Discovery Princess. While the ship itself was beautiful, my overall experience was disappointing and didn’t meet my expectations. The ship lacked a variety of activities for children. They had a multi-purpose court and two ping pong tables, but the equipment was worn down and in need of repair. They didn’t organize many outdoor ...

Hi, Everyone! I've already posted a LIVE from Discovery Princess topic, so I'll just stick to a summary here. My wife and I have cruised extensively on many cruise lines -- Platinum on Princess, so getting close to 15 cruises on their line. We live in Phoenix, so we prefer to sail out of one of the SoCal ports, which greatly limits the possibilities. We were looking for a 7-day cruise to ...

We had never cruised before this trip. We have many friends that cruise regularly, some with over 30 cruises. Several of our friends cruised on this ship in the past year and a half. They convinced us this was the ship for us. Why this ship? We love live music. This cruise had 2 piano players, 2 bands, one solo guitarist, 2 violinists, and a jazz trio. The music was great. The jazz trio, ...

This was our first Princess cruise and I have to say it was not up to the standard I was expecting. We have cruised with many other cruise lines, P & O, NCL, Marella, Celebrity and MSC. Pros * Lovely ship, kept beautifully clean * Many/Most of the staff were helpful and friendly * Theatre shows were very good *. Guest speaker throughout the cruise was excellent - also enjoyed the ...

I had never sailed on Celebrity. 4 previous on Norwegian. That was my comparison and Eclipse was a bit of a disappointment with a 5.5 rating on Vacations to Go. Pros: the crew tried very hard and were friendly and courteous always. Not sure how happy or cohesive they were. Felt fairly new. Stateroom was well maintained and clean. Ship interior is quite beautiful with glass elevators ...

I had no intent of booking this cruise which sailed roundtrip from San Pedro (LA) to San Francisco to San Diego to Ensenada and then back to San Pedro. But when it was announced about five weeks before sailing that it would be branded as being a "Magic Castle" cruise, I jumped at it. Fortunately there were still enough staterooms (and good ones at that) to make it that much more attractive. ...

We wanted a cruise that was a round trip from a US city. We had been on Celebrity before so we booked the Pacific coast Cruise. We really enjoyed this ship. The balcony rooms are very nice and spacious. The food in the main dining room was good, portions are smaller than before, but you can always order a double portion if you want more. With all the courses, we always felt it was plenty of ...
