Sail Date: Jan 2019
Cabin: Oceanview

I spent nearly $3000 on a cruise for 2 and my cabin was on the lowest floor in the back of the boat above the engine. The Vibration from the engine at times was unbearable, as was the noise. We were offered ear plugs to block out the noise which I felt was an insult. Make sure you are on one of the upper decks!!!! Numerous times throughout the cruise there was a significant stench, similar to that of a sewer. Fellow passengers also reported this foul smell to guest services. My partner and I felt the stench was so palatable that it may contain toxic fumes that were harmful to our health.

I asked on three separate occasions to contact us for a face to face visit through guest services, we were not contacted.

The excursions were so so and one of our excursions was canceled due to a broken down boat (very upsetting).

Do not, I repeat, do not get a cabin above the engine room, excessive noise and vibration throughout the cruise. I did not know this but Princess cruise caters to persons over 50+ years old I am told. If you have teenagers or young children, this may not be the cruise line for you.
