Princess Cruise Reviews

We had two cruises canceled in the past two years due to COVID - a 14 day Mediterranean n June 2020 and a Thanksgiving 2021 cruise to Aruba. Since we had to use our cruise credits, we booked a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean in 2022, shortly after Carnival Inc completed its restart - or so they claimed. The restart of service lags behind the k bel of service we previously expected from ...

This was our first cruise since the fall of 2019. For a variety of reasons we chose Alaska as our first post-Covid cruise destination. Discovery Princess is a brand new ship and we thought it would be fun to be among the first passengers to cruise on a new ship. That piece of it was okay, but we probably won't seek out that experience again. Anyway, the post covid landscape provides a unique ...

We did a 7 night repositioning Greek Isles cruise. It's our 3rd on Princess (20+ cruises in total). We've cruised on the Royal princess before which is a same class ship. But the regal is slightly better in design. Pros..... - The ship is lovely. Understated luxury. The swimming pools and hot tubs are great. Well equipped modern gym. - Staff were all amazing. A real credit to ...

Boy this is tough to write. Swallow my pride, my humility, and take full ownership of the fact that my wife and I talked our friends into going on this trip with us as their first cruise experience. Go ahead, say it: 1) 'You should have known better! It was the Crown Princess' first sailing in 25 months!' 2) 'This was the first Alaskan itinerary the Crown was doing for the season!' 3) ...

We chose this cruise because my wife has always wanted to go to Alaska. While everyone on the boat has been very nice and helpful , it’s not that our itenerary has been changed at least five times. There is absolutely no excuse for not having this ship in running order given the amount of time it was out of service. Excursions changed many times and even cancelled because we couldn’t make that ...

First, let me say I had a great time. I love cruising, and even a bad cruise is better than no cruise at all! But so many on this cruise that I talked to will not go on Princess again, and certainly not the Crown. And I talked to lots- First-time cruisers, Elite cruisers, ship staff, ship officers. Officers did admit ship was over capacity (70%), when should have been at 60%. Move-over ...

I have done 10 cruises prior to this round trip Seattle to Alaska, all with princess. This was the worst ever. Engine & other mechanical issues forced the ship to reduce speed to 15knts, causing the ship to bypass Juneau totally and reduce time in Skagway & Ketchikan. Even our stay in glacier bay was reduced. Princess offered us $100 onboard credit & 20% of the cruise cost in future ship ...

May7- May 14 2022 1. No one was there to meet us at Seattle Airport as advertised after flying 2000 miles from Orlando. 2. After finding Princess setup were told to carry our 4 bags to the shuttle area and get in line to board a bus for transport to ship. We waited an hour in 45 degree temperatures with empty buses in front of us watching the staff bump into each other. we personally ...

Saved for a long time for this once in a lifetime experience and booked 18 months in advance and planned each excursion only to have it fall completely apart 2 days before we left. First a cancelled excursion then “Due to scheduled engine maintenance” the itinerary changed and we lost a port and another excursion but replaced by another port. Then a change itinerary again and lost another port but ...

This was supposed to be a magical experience in Alaska. It was the most stressful chaotic experience due to princess cruise line. They don’t have their stuff together, why they used a cruise ship they had not tested in 25 months is beyond me. They had so many issues with the ship, canceled Juneo altogether, reduced all our other port stays. Only gave us $100 and 20% off a future cruise which is ...
