Best way to experience the Panama Canal!
"We had three days of cold or lukewarm showers that 3 different princess mechanics were unable to fix, Finally the 4th one fixed the issue, but why did it take 3 days?Pools: 4 pools , not heated, so too cold to swim on the first two days, and then increasing comfortable as the air temperature increased as we approached the canal...."Read More

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We are Long time Holland American Cruisers that took this cruise with Princess due to the timing and destination. Room: This obstructed view is fine from the view standpoint, it is at the top of the stairs from the promenade, but that was not an issue. The first 4 rooms on this deck including this one are narrower than other rooms and also have the really annoying feature of having two ...

Ship was very nice. Food was a little over the top to fancy at some restaurants like chilled soup or very small portions at some of the restaurant. That being said, there was some restaurants that were very good a few healthy portions. I thought the activities that they provided on board were OK but some of the late night dancing and parties should’ve been held a little earlier for some of the ...

We live in Southern California and got a great deal on a balcony room and booked this trip prior to my husbands unexpected quadruple bypass. We didn't cancel the cruise in hopes that my husband was well enough to go. It turns out 7 weeks post surgery we made it on the cruise, as my husband wanted to gain weight at the all you can eat buffets and fine dining's on this cruise and he did. First ...

We chose this cruise because it was round trip from San Pedro, Ca - we did not have to fly to board the ship. Easy embarkation and debarkation. The most positive experience of/on this cruise were the terrific crew members. They were all extremely friendly, helpful, and smiling all the time. They made you feel very welcome. We were in a Club Class Mini Suite, Dolphin Deck. Our steward, ...

Having never cruised Princess, 2 positives stood out. The technology of Medallion Class, and their check-in process. Now did the app work perfectly, 100% of the time? No. Of course not. I’ve never had a day at work where my internet was perfect, but I’m not quitting my job over it. We are also in the middle of a freaking ocean, so it’s pretty impressive to have any service at all. The food was ...

This was the first time we had a two week break as we had just retired. As we booked late we only had the choice of two rooms we ended up with room A333 with an adjoining door. We have done other cruises with luxury liners so i was full of apprehension but we wanted to do a full transit of Panama. The room was adequate bed really comfy. Extremely clean. Plenty of hanging space.Fridge for our ...

The Panama Canal was on our bucket list. Just the week before we set sail the Coronavirus scare began. We chose to go ahead with our plans and are so glad we did. There was a major computer glitch that delayed our boarding for 2-3 hours. Area was packed. No food or drink offered. Toilet facilities were out in the parking lot. Very uncomfortable. Once we boarded things went exceedingly ...

decided to join friends who were already booked on this cruise. Panama Canal was on our bucket list so we thought "why not" There was a technical issue on embarkation which had us feeling very relieved to be Elite status as many passengers waited several hours to get on board. As it was, we did not get our cabin key cards until almost midnight on day 1. We ended getting an excellent price on ...

28 days in Fantasyland

Well, if 28 days aboard a beautiful cruise ship, being catered to, sailing to Hawaii and Tahiti - AND not getting sick isn't Fantasyland for the Senior Set, than I'll have what you're having. Embarkation was uneventful, after a night at the Long Beach Hilton and a Princess arranged transfer. We enjoyed the cruise card again, perhaps for the last time, as the Medallion era is now upon us. The ...

I loved the itinerary offered on this cruise. I had not sailed on Princess since 2005 so I was looking forward to my cruise. Even though we were not able to get into Samoa, we had a couple of extra days in Hawaii and one in French Polynesia. The ship is 13 years old but I thought for the most part it was very clean. The staff was outstanding and the Captain was amazing interacting with the ...
