Not our favorite cruise

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Ruby Princess

10+ Cruises • Age 2020s

We had to use cruise credits and didn't want to fly anywhere so it was really easy (we thought) going out of San Francisco as it is only an hour from our house and we can take the Vallejo Ferry to San Francisco. Great Ferry ride over the bay and called Lyft to take us to the Pier which is just under a mile. Took 35 minutes in the car as traffic was so bad (great driver though). Finally got to ...

Alaska was beautiful. As far as the cruise part of it, the food was not impressive at all. The flavor was just not there. Many items were not labeled. For people with food allergies or being vegetarian, that can be a problem. The things that were supposed to be in my parents stateroom were not provided ( toilet riser and hand held shower nozzle) The entertainment was just ok. The entertainment and ...

Princess has really gone downhill, which is a view shared by at least two senior members of staff onboard. Honestly, you couldn't pay me any sum of money to go on another princess cruise. Quick overview: my next few paragraphs are issues around food safety. After that it's what i wish i'd have known before i booked. Food safety My main issue is around food safety. If you have any dietary ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

This was our first cruise with Princess and the first embarking from San Francisco. What a nightmare that was, we were scheduled to leave from the regular Pier 27 but the night before was told we were at Pier 35 which is just an old Pier. We did all check ins ahead of time and were told to arrive at 12 for a 12 to 12:30 assigned time. We got there a bit early only to find out they still hadn't ...

We're Elite with Princess, Club/Reserve Mini Suite Level and sail with them 2-3 times a year and just returned from a 7 day Calif Costal Cruise. I have no problem rating Guest Service at 5 Stars throughout this cruise and our 2 previous cruises in 2022. Despite having access to the Club/Reserve Dinning Room, we've noticed that since the Covid reopening Princess's food quality and variety has ...

Another Bucket List trip completed

A transit of the Panama Canal has been on my Bucket List for many years. To finally do it was a dream come true! And to sail on a ship leaving Galveston, Texas, my "home" port was doubly exciting. And a Princess ship at that! How lucky can one person get. As expected from Princess, the ship was clean, the crew was wonderful, the food was delicious no matter where we chose to eat, and the ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

This was an 80s themed cruise and that was very appealing. However, the only thing 80s was the nightly show at 7:30 or 9:00. Very little 80s anything other than some cheap paper signs and inflatable cell phones. Ship is so old. Our balcony was rusted through on the front. The spa was a mess. Lockers were broken and you couldn’t lock them so we were told just stick your belongings in there it ...

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Ruby Princess

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We chose to sail out of Galveston to save air fare because we live in Texas and just drove in the day before. The time was perfect and the price was within our financial means. This was an 80's themed cruise which some people went all out, the theme to me was neither good nor bad though I did get tired of Cyndi Lauper. I watched a lot of You Tube video and prepared myself as best I could. The ...

Unfortunately, this cruise was one disappointment after another. Our first issue was our dining experience. We had booked a nightly reservation for traditional dining, and during our 1st dinner, our waiter told us that traditional dining had been “abolished”. I told him I was sad to hear that, he mentioned that I could request him and ask to be sat in the same section each night, which we did, ...

This was my first Princess experience, and I was excited, because my understanding was that Princess was a "step up" in the cruise experience I'm used to. This is my fourth cruise overall. The three previous with Royal Carribbean. All four cruises have departed out of Galveston. Also this is my first post-COVID cruise. Overall, my experience was extremely underwhelming. I was extremely ...
