This Pacific Coastal cruise was cancelled twice by Princess on us because of Covid. So we REALLY looked forward to sailing. I had bought two adjoining balcony cabins as my daughter and granddaughter had never cruised before and my granddaughter was turning 21 on the cruise. Her college Spring Break fit the cruise schedule. Arriving at our staterooms our attendant asked if we wanted the balcony ...
This is the second time we've cruised on the Majestic since the re-start after Covid shutdown. The Majestic is one of the newer ships and has a different layout which we thought was very nice---especially the Hollywood Conservatory at the front of the ship. The staff was helpful and courteous despite staffing shortages industry-wide. The food and service were very good---there were only a couple ...
We took this California coastal cruise as a family gathering. My portion of the family lives in Orange County; so getting to the port was a simple 25 minute drive. For what we paid for the screws and the value we received, I thought it was a great deal. The ports were fun, energized and lovely - Even if you didn’t get off the ship. We didn’t have very many shore excursion options but that was OK ...
We chose this cruise to enjoy some fun in the sun along the California Coast. The ship is beautiful and the service staff were excellent - friendly, efficient and professional. The crew that made the biggest hit were the exceptional bar manager (Eduard) and his bar staff. We got to know the bartenders working all over the ship. They were fun and entertaining and made a great drink! We had the ...
This was a cruise to celebrate my birthday. It was a week of lovely weather and beautiful views as we cruised the California Coast. One of the highlights was cruising in under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. That is a magnificent sight, especially at 5:30 in the morning when everything is lit up. Then you get to enjoy the San Francisco city skyline and all it's lights as ...
Our experience on the Princess Majestic in most cases was as expected. Entertainment was excellent, our room steward was great, our stateroom kept very clean and as expected for a balcony stateroom. We particularly enjoyed our coffee in the morning from the International Cafe. The pastries were ok, not spectacular. Bar staff, front desk staff, dining room staff all were friendly and helpful. The ...
Always loves Princess and wanted to try out this vessel. Disappointed from day one! Only cruise ever that I have ever complained about. Such a disappointment. Many issues and many unresolved. Cabin Thermostat was not working properly and cabin was extremely hot, muggy and miserable, 90% of the lounges, restaurants, etc were extremely warm/hot and uncomfortable. Not enough cleaning of tables, ...
Pros:
Friendly and attentive staff
Nice pool area with nightly light show
All bars were great with very short wait times
When the app worked (I said when), our drink and food orders came fairly quickly
Nightly shows were good. Comedy show was the BEST!
Cons:
Medallion App - from the beginning of purchasing our cruise, to the end of the cruise, the App had LOTS of ...
Ship is beautiful, staff is very friendly, entertainment and food was great. Only problem was that now you need to use the medallion app for pretty much everything and half of the functions did not work! Everyone on the ship was very frustrated. The wifi speed is a joke, I consistently measured download speeds of 0.25 MBPS and upload of 0.14 MBPS on my speedtest app, way too slow to do much of ...
My sister and I had sailed 2 Princess cruises and before she passed I promised to take her daughter on a cruise. Since it was my niece's first cruise she had on compass to judge the trip on and she has a wonderful time. I, however, had sailed with Princess twice before and was able to compare this trip to past ones. The food on this trip was, for the most part, bland at best, with the exception of ...
