San Francisco Cruise Reviews

Greetings from aboard the Crown Princess! We are on a 16-day cruise to Hawaii, RT San Francisco. I boarded the ship with great trepidation. The Cruise Critic comments about the ship and the itinerary caused me to think that perhaps we'd made a grave error in booking this cruise. However, that angst was put to rest the first day. While more traditional (vs. glitzy) in appearance, the ship ...

My daughter, her husband, and my granddaughter (2 years old) invited me to go with them. This would have been my 50th Anniversary with her dad. He died 16 years ago. We were suppose to go on this cruise for our 50th Anniversary. It was very important for me to go at this time. It was a fantastic cruise. We had the best days, which we were told they only have 45 good days a year! We actually saw ...

I sailed with Princess to Alaska in the past and I brought my whole family to experience Alaska with Princess this time. This cruise did not disappoint, and my family was able to see more sea life such as whales, fish jumping, and a truly massive salmon in the wild on this cruise than they had seen before on any vacation. My family is already planning our next princess cruise back to Alaska. ...

This is a brand new itinerary and a new cruise for me. I have been on several American Cruise Line cruises, and they keep getting better and better. I'm a wine lover, so this trip was perfect. The wine on board was great, and the excursions took you right to the heart of wine country. My favorite excursion was the Napa Valley wine train- a trip I have always wanted to take. There were also lots ...

This five-day getaway cruise out of and back to San Francisco with stops in San Diego and Ensenada Mexico was to get away alone in order to get some personal work done in the stateroom while also enjoying shipboard activities. The mini-suite stateroom was superb: comfortable, no issues, and spotless upon arrival; everything worked and most impressive were a few small sensor lights that turned on ...

Took Alaskan Cruise in July 2022 on Ruby, had the worst experience. Embarkation was nightmare, had to wait for about 3 hours to board. With COVID epidemic in full swing, this was a traveler's nightmare. Firstly, peak summer, long lines and fellow passengers in close proximity. Took even more than an hour to get to the boat deck from Port. Due to this frustrating experience, promised never to use ...

We have sailed with Princess in the past and were anxious to get back on board. We left San Francisco rather late (not sure what the holdup was), burt experienced going under the Golden Gate Bridge at twilight! How crazy was that! Then it was off into the wild blue seas, which got my husband completely seasick for the next two days. Regardless, the Medallion system worked great, although I ...

Great cruise experience. Helped by great weather. Were able to sunbathe for all but the last day. Despite embarcation being at the old pier we found it seamless and worth the effort on the app up front. The app and wifi worked perfectly. Food was superb in the MDR we used the one near vines. Good quality. Perfect portion.sizes and brilliant service. We went to Sabatinis twice. Food and ...

This was my first time to cruise with Princess. I had a good impression about the cruise. The foods were so delicious and plenty of choices. The decorated deserts were so beautiful and of course it tasted so yummy. I really recommend everyone must try a vacation with princess cruise. I do not eat breakfast often but on this cruise I never skipped breakfast. They have so much foods to eat. The ...

Although I had been fishing in Alaska a few times, my wife had never been there, and were were both excited to experience the beauty of this State, while the glaziers are still prominent. Nothing about this trip disappointed us. We were a little concerned about some of the negative comments we read, specifically regarding the condition of the ship, the food quality, and the concern about ...
