My wife and I chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary -- we had never been to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, or Cozumel -- and the timing, which fitted our schedule. (We forgot it was March break, our kids being long grown up). We had done one cruise on Princess years ago, and two each on Norwegian and Royal Caribbean since. Princess seems at least as good as Royal Caribbean, and better than Norwegian, ...
I booked this Spring Break 7 day cruise for 7 people. Synopsis: Irritated and sometimes rude crew staff, Hard sell around every corner, multiple charge errors (duplicate charges/over charges), dining room food was hit or miss, there was an overall lack of activities planned and there were either charges for or a hard sell included in the ones that were planned, the cabins were not set up for the ...
This cruise is absolutely awful!! The food is terrible in all the restaurants including the specialty restaurants. The lady who is the cruise director is awful!! There is absolutely no entertainment!! Back to the food. They serve the same food in the buffet for lunch and dinner, everyday for 10 days!! Just awful!! Our suite was super comfy, but even the signature lounge had hardly any snacks and ...
Hi, Everyone!
I've already posted a LIVE from Discovery Princess topic, so I'll just stick to a summary here.
My wife and I have cruised extensively on many cruise lines -- Platinum on Princess, so getting close to 15 cruises on their line. We live in Phoenix, so we prefer to sail out of one of the SoCal ports, which greatly limits the possibilities. We were looking for a 7-day cruise to ...
This was our 14th cruise crossing mulitple cruise lines (Viking, Royal, Azamara, HAL) and now Princess for the first time. Our trip was going to be the 4th cruise of the Sun Princess, but it turned out to be the second I believe. I still have high expectations for Princess as they didnt communicate any issues with the boat prior to departure. We did upgrade to a balcony room. We had another room ...
We bid on an upgrade and were successful. Initially we were in a penthouse suite on Riviera deck. Room was too noisy to sleep so we requested a move. We were moved to Aloha deck at the back of the ship and unfortunately it was actually worse than the previous room. The guest service supervisor was rude and dismissive and told us we expected too much and should have spent more money on a better ...
This was my 15th Princess cruise and the best yet in terms of the ship itself. The ports of Azores, Madeira, Casablanca, Cadiz and Lisbon were fine but not trip highlights for me. Note: if one of your main concerns is the main dining room or the specialty restaurants, look elsewhere as I no longer go there on any cruise.
The ship is beautiful. The whole boarding process from being bused ...
Writing as I go, so the review might seem choppy.
I enjoyed my sun princess cruise very much. The workers were fantastic. I would recommend it for my family if they want to sail.
There were some negatives that I will mention in the review. I write them out not as a complaint, but I am hoping Princess media team will be able to see it and make improvement. I also hope to provide future ...

I’ll keep these comments about the ship, rather than ports or other things.

We loved the minisuite - with one exception covered ...
They advertise and promised a vacation that wasn't what we paid for... Loss of most important stop, Santorini, and the replacement wasn't even close in comparison! So much of the entertainment wasn't up and running, and won't be for quite a while! There is no Spellbound, no Love by Britto, no shows in the Dome, reduced replacement shows in the arena and Piazza. It not even close to what is ...
