Los Angeles to the Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

This has our 17th cruise (not all with Princess) so we are not new to cruise ships. This was the worst cruise of all and we will not be sailing with Princess again. Sorry Princess but your services on the cruise have ruined it for us. The first day, we went on the ship tour and went up to the Lotus Spa. I asked about using the sauna/steam room and was told by the female attendant the there would ...

Our 7 dec 2023-6 jan 2024 celebrity cruise had a great itinerary and wonderful staff but, was a disappointment on many levels, especially when celebrity air left us stranded. so, with almost 20 cruises under our belts, several of them celebrity, and many more in our future, we will never cruise celebrity again. Here are the details, starting with the positive: the 30 day south american ...

Why pay three times more for a cruise line that is no different than a mainstream cruise line? by cutting corners on food since the food is actually worse than MSC. Limited entertainment venues, just the captain taking over the PA for an hour about navigation details no one cares about, just get us there! The cabin TV's have limited selections with poor to no reception even when at ...

We have been on Princess Cruise previously in 2013 (Sapphire Princess) and really enjoyed our cruise great food and amenities , we felt cared for with nice communal areas and good restaurants so felt confident that it would be of a similar standard for an enjoyable cruise. What a let down! On a positive embarkation was easy and staff were very helpful. I agree with previous review on this ...

We took this cruise because it had a full transit of the Panama Canal. This was the last cruise with this itinerary for the season. A Panama Canal transit had been on our bucket list for a long time, but it has taken many years for a cruise with a schedule that made it doable considering our work schedules. We have cruised with many lines and this was our first (and only) cruise with Princess. ...

This was our 6th cruise with Norwegian and our 15th cruise It started with embarkation in san Pedro we checked in online and they gave us a time to show up at port. Only to find a large tent in a parking lot with a 3hr line to check in this was the worst experience ever . Never seen such disorganization. The first stop in Cabo if you didn't buy excursion you could not go on tender for 2 ...

We chose this as our bucket list cruise around the world. First the two items that were positive about this cruise: 1.The cabin stewards and the personnel in the Horizon Cafe were terrific when it came to service 2.The Horizon Cafe Buffet had a great selection of food which was well prepared and had a tremendous variety. Unfortunately those are the only god things I can report about this ...

A World Cruise (WC) was on my bucket list and Princess is our preferred Cruise Line (4 of us). This was NOT a cruise I would repeat nor recommend. The Island Princess is old and needs A LOT of repairs - rust, mildew, mold, water leaks, cabin entry doors not opening and more. All major safety issues - I worked in Transportation Safety for over 20 years and Island is NOT a safe ship unless it has ...

This was my first ever cruise, and even though I had read the reviews that this was an awful cruise line I didn’t think it could be as bad and went with an open mind… before I start the review, NCL when things are going well may well be a nice experience, but I judge a service on how they handle issues or problems and hopefully without sounding like a Karen, NCL has got to be the most ...

We chose this cruise because it is on our Daughter-In Law's bucket list and we were also interested in going through the Panama Canal. Pros: Crew friendly and personable Cabin (balcony) OK Embarkation very easy Room service was great, especially morning coffee International Cafe, Deck 5, great Sabatini's speciality restaurant great Crew very accomodating of passengers with ...
