A couple of friends rave about Princess but my wife and I weren't impressed.
The best thing that Princess does is their embarkation and disembarkation. Very smooth and orderly.
The food, service, entertainment and activities were all mediocre. Service was so-so unless you were an Elite Member. At dinner, the waiters, although pleasant, fawned over the couple next to us while we were ...
This was our first Princess Cruise. We have sailed on 17 previous cruises with other cruise lines. We chose this cruise to sale with six of our friends and the price was good. The ship was old but still in good shape. The cabin was okay, but missing normal items like pens, writing paper, an umbrella and binoculars to use, etc. Our Cabin Stewart, Tina, was wonderful. Friendly, efficient, ...

5. Pros- Stewart and dining room staff were excellent to us. Several outlets in the room.
6. Cons-no dinner menu on mobile app like Carnival, Captain’s log not updated, no kids schedule, no steak on the daily menu, dinner buffet very ...
The destination was awecome. We loved Hawaii!
But, the food on The Emerals Princess was very disappointing. It was never hot on the Horizon buffet. The omlets were jujst not good, somehow and the selection limited, at least for my taste. The quality of the beef in the dining room was inferior to previous cruises. Somehow, we just never cared for the offerings in the dining foom which is unusual ...
Paid for internet access. Princess knew that their equipment was faulty and internet effectively unavailable. They even posted it at their internet café. Nice people at internet café couldn't get my email working either.
The primary purpose of my trip was to be in a quite place to catch-up on work that required internet access. Other than an OK cruise on a ship scheduled for a major ...
We experienced very rough seas. We’ve never gotten seasick before but certainly experienced it on this cruise. Not enough to do with 8 sea days. The marine biologist was very informative and funny. They needed to find additional things to fill the sea days since people couldn’t go outside to sun bath. Comedians could have done afternoon shows. Also movies could have been shown during the day ...
Our group chose this cruise line for the itinerary and ability to experience alot in Hawaii in one trip. It was our first NCL cruise. The food was ok. Some in our group,had better luck with specialty restaurants. Service was below par in the main dining room. Better In other areas. One person in our party had a bad experience in guest services. NCL really needs to address the toilet issues. Our ...
The ship is what i expected for a mid size ship. All areas of the ship i visited were all as clean as can be.We can start from the top down. the Mini Golf on deck 14 was always to windy to play when at sea. Serenity area was clean and normally with space available.
Lido buffet was just average like any buffet at home area.the Pizza was ok. Non guys burger joint was also only average.The deli ...
Overall, 14 day Hawaii from Long Beach was a great time. We thought the 8 full days would be too long at sea, but it was nice to see the full ship and experience things that we hadn't before due to time restrictions.
The ship's design is not very good. The decor is very garish and worn down. There was what looked like mold on the roof of one deck.
The main pool was closed more days than ...
I chose this ship and itinerary to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. We went to the ship around 2 p.m. and stood on line for a very long time to check in, and unfortunately the buffet was closed when we got to deck 11 to have a late lunch. We heard from other cruises that NCL was having computer problems; this was not communicated to us by NCL. NCL presented all female cruisers with a ...
