Loyal Princess Cruiser....Fifth cruise to HI and it had been a favorite in the past. Wow was this trip a disappointment. No invitation for the Captains Circle party or hor'd menu. Learned about it from another guest....ordered appetizers on another night and they were never delivered. Sheets changed once on 15 day cruise, Ice bucket not delivered. Elite Gold bag half filled and with two hair ...
We have never been to Hawaii and thought this would be a great 2 weeks away from New York in January. Even though the weather was great (perfect in Hawaii) we just wanted to get off the ship and eat some decent food.
Starting with the cabin, the day we boarded and started putting clothes on shelves and moving clothes from one shelf location to another we noticed a lot of dust on our clothes. ...
The Only reason I rated this cruise with 4 points rather than a barely average "3" is due to the wonderful enrichment activities developed and run by TikiDave & his wife Alohalei. I was one of the lucky 70 cruisers who got in line early enough on the first day to participate in Dave's progressive ukulele classes throughout the duration of the cruise. Given a loaner uke to keep for the entire ...
heard and read good things about Princess and it went were I wanted to go, Hawaii. But compared to the cruise I went on with Carnival in 2013 Princess fell short in many areas. The food was Denny's class. Too many ship board pushy sales people and events. Internet useless. many activities were over crowded or just plain full. Our excursion was far from what the description stated, many parts ...
For a holiday cruise we chose the Hawaii trip. We enjoyed the ship but it was crowded. Lines were often formed at the coffee shop and restaurants. I don’t like how the Lido Buffett is situated because it’s so congested and crowded and there is no real traffic pattern. The captain was the best! Very congenial and always visible. The entertainment was great and good movies too. We loved the ...
The service was very good and the food was good. Our stateroom was huge and our view was excellent. The ship looks good but needs a refit. Many staterooms had water problems including ours. The elevator buttons wouldn’t always work. The jucuzzi jets didnt work in the solarium area.
I love to dance but found the music selection poor plus no singles. I did the hula class which was ...
We have cruised with Princess on numerous ocassions. We also have sailed to Hawaii over the Christmas Holidays. There were many younger passengers who, for the most part, behaved very well. Actually, the older adults were the problem when getting in and out of the elevators. They were rude and piled their way into the elevators before allowing the guests to exit. We felt the entertainment was ...
Whenever my only child informs me that she won’t be spending Christmas with us, I immediately look for a trip to Hawaii. This is the first time we cruised there. Cruise ship is one we had been on before, and it was leaving from my home city. We had a lovely time. I was on a mission to see the parts of Kauai that can’t be seen by car. Our Christmas gift to each other was a Sunshine Helicopter ...
We chose this cruise because my wife is several weeks pregnant. So we wanted to go to Hawaii to avoid any places with Zika. This was our last opportunity to vacation since both of us are very busy and rarely get much time off. And with the baby coming later this year its only going to be harder. If we had known that Princess was going to be so bad we would have flown to Hawaii and stayed in a ...
Platinum level cruisers, so typically pick Princess first, but about 4 years since our last cruise so noticed a big difference especially in quantity/quality of staff. Nice enough cabin, outside window, very clean and a good location. But cabin stewards used to ALWAYS address us by name beginning with the minute we boarded, and that is so not the case anymore--didn't happen once. I have agree ...
