We've cruised all of the Caribbean, New England/Canada, Alaska, Mexico, Bahamas (Costa) and I've cruised the Med on HAL. This itinerary was a natural progression. We arrived a few weeks after Queen's Platinum Jubilee and so many decorations were still visible. We wish Princessair would have flown us in to alternate airports other than Heathrow with all the trouble they caused themselves. ...
We are Platinum members, having cruised with Princess before, and pre-pandemic they had become our favourites. This cruise was originally booked for November 2020 (to the Med) but was subsequently cancelled or rearranged 6 times. We were looking forward to it. I sweated over the Medallion app for a day and got all our information on it. I also booked 2 excursions and pre-booked the wifi.
Even ...
We wanted to make a cruise around Great Britain, because it is close to our country and in Europe.
We learned to know Princess Cruises as a company with a good variety of food on clean vessels.
This cruise showed us, that this impression is nowadays not correct. The toilets were normally not cleaned, the dust an rubbish on the floors layed there for hours. The internet and also the medallion ...
We've sailed on over a dozen cruise lines, but never on Princess. The smaller the cruise ship, the better, from our point of view, and the prospect of being on a ship with over 3000 passengers gave us pause. Nevertheless, we chose this cruise on the Emerald Princess because of its distinctive itinerary (Guernsey; Cobh/Cork; Dublin; Belfast; Glasgow; Orkney; Invergordon; Edinburgh and LeHavre), ...
Wife and I and several friends cruised on the Emerald Princess to Ireland, Scotland, and France in July 2022 from Southampton, England. We are all in our 60’s. It was our 30th cruise overall, 4th on Princess. We pick our cruises based on destinations and this one covered a lot of unique stops and areas we wanted to see. I highly recommend this cruise for the destinations and the ship is fine ...
We chose this cruise as we live close to Southampton, did not want the hassle of airports, and it went to ports/ cities we had not visited. We are both gluten and dairy free and had advised Princess well in advance. We had sailed on the Pacific Princess 4 years ago with no problems. Unfortunately Princess are on a cost cutting mission which includes the brand of gluten and dairy free products they ...
This was our first cruise with Princess Cruises to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We have sailed between 20-25 cruises on various ships and companies, including Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, NCL and Costa. I have always heard how nice Princess is and the itinerary on this cruise made for lots of stops at places that we always wanted to see including France but more on that later. ...
We were on the Emerald Princess British Isles cruise in late July. Although we did have fun, we were disappointed overall by the items many have noted including service in general, uneven food quality, and medallion app functionality. We were also disappointed by many other things including:
* the lack of any recognition of our 3 special events (we had 2 birthdays and 1 anniversary in our ...
My husband and I prefer cruising on Princess to other lines, not because others aren't also fine. We don't need climbing walls, waterslides, etc. We also have some perks because of our Captain's Circle status. Thus, when we were planning a trip to Ireland and wanted to go on a cruise as well, we naturally looked art Princess first. What had been planned as just he and I and his sister ended up ...
We wanted to tour the British Isles and Princess does a good job with this itinerary. Blarney castle was a real dud because the time there was way too short. The Blarney stone is at the top of the castle, there is only one line in and that is all you get to do in 90 minutes. The grounds and Blarney house have so much more to offer as do the Woolen Mills but there is not enough time.
Now on ...
