"Princess offers option of Tea/Coffee service in our stateroom with a kettle and tea/coffee brought daily
Enjoyed option of 3 dining rooms: Allegro, Concerto and Symphony in addition to Alfredo's for casual dining (not a buffet fan); MDR food seemed superior to what we experienced on Celebrity (Sitting at the same restaurant became stale and the quality was not what we expected several occasions - albeit this may be a post-Covid adjustment given Celebrity cruise was earlier in 2022.Celebrity had amazing guest performers of a higher calibre
Seemed to have more vegetarian/GF options than Princess in buffet area
The Celebrity app seemed less buggy than Princess Medallion system
Port seminars were recorded and available on stateroom television to watch at your convenience
Enrichment speaker was knowledgeable and a good speaker (Naturalist based on Caribbean destination)
Tendering seemed better organized with Celebrity (At Mykonos, we were sitting and waiting for more than 2 hours to be called to disembark reducing our time in port - might have been a local port issue vs a ship issue?..."Read More

EMBARKATION - The Medallion did speed up the initial check-in process. Note: There was no clear signage or direction given that you need to pick up a boarding number card upon entering the waiting area. Being a first-time Princess cruiser, I found out only by looking around and seeing others holding cards. They kindly directed me to a small desk off to the side back at the waiting area's ...
First time on Princess (over 30 cruises). But it was at the right time, place and price. You were required to do almost all pre cruise on you smart phone App. NO Computer. Getting through the App was hours and hours of frustration. You had to search to find what you had to do before boarding... no list .... NOT user Friendly. On that alone I would not take another Princess Cruise. The ...
This was actually a back-to-back cruise, continuing on after Christmas to include New Year’s, ending on January 3rd. 2023.
This was our 7th Princess cruise and first on the Regal Princess. Overall, a good cruise, with great weather except for Fort Lauderdale.
The dining room service was excellent for a change. The food was very good, but did not change for the second cruise, so it was a ...
This was our 25th anniversary cruise, twice postponed due to COVID issues. It was our first holiday cruise. We splurged for a club class mini suite (L108). Overall, it was great! There were a couple of notable improvements in the nearly 3 years since we last cruised.
We are very active people, and we were very pleased to see that the fitness centre was open 24/7. Among other things it allowed ...
We wanted to do a transatlantic cruise and we thought Princess would be a great choice for this. Embarkation in Barcelona was chaotic and slow, but all went very well after. Koror Montenegro was a surprise - the old city is fascinating. The itinerary through the Mediterranean was terrific. The food was very good to excellent and the buffet particularly impressed. We ate about half our dinners in ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary. We liked the diverse ports. None really disappointed. Dubrovnik was a last minute substitution for Valletta. We really liked Croatia! Some ports I would like to return for a longer time, like Dubrovnik and Kotor. We were blessed with great weather. We did purchase the sanctuary for an at sea day. We liked the peaceful atmosphere and shade. It is an ...
This was my first cruise ever. I decided to accompany my mother and sister as the price was reasonable. I have been somewhat of a skeptic of cruises, but after this experience I am somewhat of a convert.
The pre-cruise customer service was awful to put it mildly. We used a EU based distributor for the booking. In terms of flights and hotels they could only suggest Princess's offerings, which ...
This cruise was chosen by friends and was my first experience with Princess. I suspect it will be my last. I was interested to cruise on Princess after bumping into a couple who had never cruised with any lines and loved the company. I can’t say I share their enthusiasm.
I found the veranda stateroom cramped. We have always booked verandas no matter which company we cruise with, so I can ...
24/9 to 8/10/22. Barcelona to Athens 14 nights. This was the first time we had taken the cruise line flight & transfer package, it will also be our last. Flight landed at 14.20 hrs, still sitting on the bus waiting to leave the airport at 16.20 hrs. Told the bus driver (who not speak english) to remove our luggage from the coach and that we were going by taxi, he made a phone call and we left ...
We wanted to hit the most ports that interested us in a three-week period. We had 3 weeks of history and exploring. The only thing we were disappointed in was the entertainment was the same and the menu did not vary from week to week. I expected the menu would vary based on the country we were visiting. But that didn't happen. There weren't enough local dishes for the area we were traveling. ...
