I have been on 8 cruises and this was EASILY the worst. It was my first Princess cruise and will definitely be my last as well. I don't even know where to begin. The food was bad. Like really bad. I have never had a cruise where the buffet was literally inedible, but this was one. The dining room was a little better, but was hit or miss. If you do go on this cruise choose the Allegro dining room. ...
Think twice about princess cruises, read the reviews on yelp, google, and social media, and good luck getting a refund check from princess cruises after your cruise if you're owed a refund $!!! We pre-paid cruise, excursions, etc before sailing (plus package) for our 7-day alaska cruise from seattle. Our most expensive excursion was canceled by the ship or vendor the day of and no one even ...
Wanted an Alaskan cruise.
Their website was the worst ever...embarkation was a nightmare (3 plus hours from line up to line up)
The food at buffet was not eatable at times and lots of it was recycled.
The water tasted like chlorine and coffee (both free and paid for was the worse ever)
We found the hard way that cruise ships are a magnet for viruses.
Half the way we all got sick and ...
I believe that the cruise industry as a whole has taken a don't ask, don't tell attitude regarding health of passengers and crew. We were on a 10 day Alaska cruise. Sickness seemed to be engulfing the ship and by disembarkation you could not escape it. I did an unofficial survey post cruise from a group Facebook page asking about those that became sick either on board or shortly thereafter. Of ...
We have been on 7 other cruises with other lines in the past. This was our first princess cruise. We chose princess because we heard they were the best Alaskan cruise...Wrong. The ship is new and beautiful but simply can not accommodate the 4000 guests. We regularly waited 10-15 minutes for an elevator. Not enough seating in the public areas. Beverage service was terrible, it was common to ...
We chose this Princess cruise solely for the itinerary. My husband & I wanted to visit Glacier Nat'l Park, which we enjoyed immensely. We did a 14 day B2B. We have been on 28 cruises in the past, so we have experienced the good and the bad in cruising. However, this was our first post-covid cruise, so unsure of the effect of recovery on different cruise lines at this time. As far as this Princess ...
The ship is long in the tooth with raggedy upholstery on seats with failing foam cushions that have been sat in so long they are shaped like peoples’ butts. The App DOES NOT WORK. Orders placed on it NEVER arrive, and the Chat function is useless, taking 45 minutes for someone to respond only to tell you the App is not working. The food in the cafeteria-style buffet is awful. Any food you order ...
We chose the cruise and the Majestic Princess for the itinerary - two weeks inner passage first South to North then back South again, with two visits to Glacier Bay. The weather was fantastic, Glacier Bay - an amazing experience. The Majestic Princess totally disappointed - poor quality food (way below the quality experienced on other cruise lines), miss selling of upgrade packages with Guest ...
This was a very special 10th anniversary trip for us and we were super excited to finally see Alaska. The weather was great, the ports were a lot of fun and we enjoyed our mini suite cabin, but that's it. The ship itself was crowded, the food was absolutely awful and the service was lacking. The medallion experience does make things easier in some ways but takes the personal touch of the crew ...
Princess has really gone downhill, which is a view shared by at least two senior members of staff onboard. Honestly, you couldn't pay me any sum of money to go on another princess cruise. Quick overview: my next few paragraphs are issues around food safety. After that it's what i wish i'd have known before i booked.
Food safety
My main issue is around food safety. If you have any dietary ...
