Finding good weather for a cruise in February inevitably involves some long flights, especially if you choose the Far East rather than the Caribbean. We opted for a round trip from Singapore, which was really 3days then 7 days back-to-back on Sapphire Princess.
FELLOW PASSENGERS
The passenger mix was very different to other Princess cruises, with very few Americans onboard. We estimated ...
We recently did B2B cruises from Singapore, first 3 nights to KL and Penang, then back to Singapore for the day then off again to Bangkok,Ho Chi Minh and Ko Samui.
I was a bit nervous due to the reviews I had read on the Sapphire Princess, but the cruise we had was great, the ship was clean and tidy, staff were just as friendly as other Princess ships we have been on, and the food was amazing. We ...
We were a little nervous choosing the Sapphire Princess for our first ever cruise after reading some negative reviews, but found ourselves on a wonderful cruising holiday that far exceeded our expectations.
Embarkation was straight forward for first timers and then we met our absolutely delightful room steward, Mark, who in addition to keeping our room impeccable, was smiling, friendly and very ...
My husband and I have taken about 50 cruises, 9 of them on Princess so we have a sense of comparison with which to rate the Sapphire Princess.
With the exception of the dining room staff, never have we experienced a more disinterested, disgruntled or rude crew. We theorize that because of the immanent change to sailing exclusivity in the Asian market for a period of time they were not trying too ...
Have just got off a 10 day cruise on Sapphire Princess and unfortunately felt let down by evening entertainment and attitude of some staff, it seemed like they was tired and didn't want to engage with the guest. Also in Horizon restaurant on several occasions witness staff making fun of guest behind their back, not very professional! Customer service not always very helpful. The food was average ...
We had a mid-ship balcony cabin on Baja, Deck 11. It was smaller than the only other cruise we've done, which was on the Serenade of the Seas and also a mid-ship balcony. That had a couch which could at a pinch sleep a child, and more space round the wardrobe/bathroom areas which was a bottleneck at times for me and my husband. Our cabin steward, Tan, was delightful and kept the cabin very ...
As veteran cruisers, we were markedly disappointed in our cruise experience on the Sapphire Princess Feb 15–28. We had been looking forward to a new experience after having been on Celebrity multiple times, Royal Caribbean and Carnival
While we had some individual highlights, here were our issues:
1) The overall crew attitude was not been welcoming, as if we had been a bother to them. In fact, ...
We are a couple in our fifties and this was just our third cruise and I was not too sure what to expect from the ship after reading some negative reviews. We have sailed on the CROWN PRINCESS and then the CELEBRITY SOLSTICE before this one and if I could combine the best features of those two ships I would have my ideal one! The fabulous cabins and bathrooms of the SOLSTICE with the layout and ...
Having sailed on many cruises (over 50) and been on 2 other princess ships, the Star and the Sun, I througly enjoyed the Sapprire on our cruise around South East Asia.
Having sailed this area many times, I am convinced it off some of the best sceneries to offer.
Embarkation was very easy, arriving later in the day, there were no ques and my bags we taken care of straight from the taxi.
The ...
