Wanted to sail through the Saint Lawrence Seaway and visit Quebec, Montreal and Toronto. This is an expensive cruise that we had high expectations, that would go along with their premium cost. During rainy and cold weather the Ships Sun ☀️ Decks become worthless. Exercise equipment is out on those open decks and become unusable in bad weather. Lounges are small and not very functional to ...
The staff was friendlier on princess than any of my most recent cruises however the medallion did not work as well as I had hoped. Bar staff was overrun with people and they could not keep up. Very hard to just get a soda much less an alcoholic beverage. Overall it just seemed unorganized and maybe a shortage of crew. My steward was awesome there were a few bartenders that were great but the ...
This was our first and probably last Princess cruise. The cruise line touted their Medallion and app. We had issues with both prior to cruise but finally managed to fill in our information to embark. We had a specific window to check in at the port. Upon arrival there was a line that took close to 2 hours to negotiate. The Medallion and App were not working. We finally arrived at our cabin ...
They should have postponed this voyage.The staff and crew were not prepared at all.Most of them were new.There is also a shortage of workers right now.The ones they have are ill prepared and could not answer most questions.They seemed to be overworked and overwhelmed.It created a bad vibe and they were not very friendly.There was one person at guest services who was helpful. Thanks,Yuri.

Embarkation was very smooth and quick. The first night in our cabin we experienced excessive vibration from the propellers. We went to dinner the next night and also bingo. Both rooms vibrated the same as our room. We complained to the front desk and they moved us but only after repeated calls to bug them during a 3 hour period. We were told it was maintenence issues but we googled it and found ...
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 ...
My first cruise. Have always wanted to see Alaska. Booked this trip based on my budget and the ports they were scheduled to stop at due to only running on one engine. Juneau port of call was shortened by several hours. Ketchikan was cancelled and replaced with a Icy Point which was not much but some small shops. Skagway was as scheduled. Victoria was shortened and made it not worth even ...
cruise wasn't bad but nothing really jumped out as being great best part of cruise had very little to do with cruise line, the passengers I talked to were great, staff was nice but service was slow due to staffing issues and Toilet clogged the last 24 of trip making our room smell of human waste and got no relief in multipule call to guest service and two trips to guest service to get some sort ...
lI am an Elite member of Princess Cruises. I know that with all the problems with Covid and now inflation that things won't be the same again, however, this cruise was so disappointing that I plan to Cruise with other lines. Being an Elite member there were several bonuses that I never received. Most of all the ship was so old and looked it. it was also dirty and many things had not been cleaned ...
I chose this cruise because it had 210 passenger capacity. When I boarded the ship in Portland Maine, I was taken aback by the lack of maintenance and the shabbiness of the ship. For the price of the cruise I expected high quality amenities and staterooms that were updated. This cruise occurred 2 years after the onset of COVID. The testing for Covid was disorganized at the beginning of the ...
