San Francisco Cruise Reviews

I chose this cruise because it was a good value for the money I paid for it. It was my 2nd time on Princess. I would cruise with this line again but it is not my favorite. The shore excursion to the Waimea Canyon in Kaua'i was awesome, as was the one to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in Hilo which included a stop at the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory. There were too many nights in which I ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted a cruise longer than 7 days. We enjoy sea days and this one gave us 5 glorious days to relax. Embarkation was a mess as far as dropping off luggage, they appeared to only have 5 or 6 guys collecting luggage. Once we dropped our bags the rest was a breeze, basically walked through security and onboard. Our cabin was in a great location, we chose the Lido ...

We choose Princess because it sailed out of San Francisco. We were able to take the Amtrac train out of Fresno, CA at 6:00 AM and were in front of the Buffet at 11:30 AM. Embarkation was the easiest of all our cruises. Luggage taken right from the Uber along the curbside. Every sea day was a hour practice on the steel drums for 30 shipmates. Leader of the drums, Wilson, was great. Much ...

We had a great time on the cruise. I am diabetic and was happy to see sugar free desserts. I love my coffee and was glad to see the expresso being served. My wife is not fond of sweet desserts and was glad to have so much fresh fruit available. All of the staff were so nice and caring, always willing to help. I was really impressed with them all; waitstaff, housekeeping and the crew. Our ...

We decided to return to Alaska and have been on the Ruby princess before. From the Captain to Stewards everyone was spectacular. We were celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, and Father's day. Cannot say enough good things about the staff. The food on this ship was better than other ships in the same fleet. With exception of the dessert specialty or otherwise - all the desserts we tried were ...

We recently embarked on an unforgettable journey to Alaska from San Francisco with Carnival Miracle Cruise. From the moment we stepped onboard, the warm and welcoming crew made our experience exceptional. The ship offered a wealth of activities, delectable dining options, and captivating entertainment, leaving no room for boredom. The cabins were clean and in excellent condition. My niece, a ...

We have been on over 30 cruises and this was our 11th Princess cruise including 5 wonderful ones last year. We were looking for a little sunshine and we love Hawaii, so this cruise to seemed to fit the bill. We flew into SFO a day early, and the next day enjoyed one of the smoothest embarkations ever! We were on the ship about 15 minutes after arriving at the port! We booked an “obstructed” ...

My mom and I have so far taken 4 cruises, including this cruise, can't say Royal was the best, it was ok tho. We've been on Majestic Princess for an Asia cruise, and since our home base is in SF, and with mom now preferring cruises, we thought we will try all the ones leaving from SF to make it easy. Royal Princess is our first cruise out of SF. Embarkation was a breeze, just make sure you ...

I love the 15 day Hawaii cruise! I have been on Grand Princess and Ruby Princess to Hawaii from San Francisco. Sailed from Pier 27 San Francisco. Inside cabin IF Anytime dining room worked best even with reservations. Less crowded, less waiting. Great food and local dishes. Hawaiian fish and pork. Awesome Ukulele, Hula and Hawaiian craft activities every sea day. ...

We chose this cruise because we have sailed to Hawaii five times previously and we love all the sea days. It is also a great way to get a taste of the islands: Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii. As an added bonus, our favorite Hawaiian ambassadors Brian and Rowena Vasquez were onboard, teaching ukulele, hula and a wide variety of Hawaiian-themed crafts. They embody the Spirit of Aloha and really ...
