We have been on princess over ten times. We enjoyed Princess in the past but if this cruise is any indication of Princess today, I would urge you to spend your Cruise dollars elsewhere.
We have been on the Princess Sapphire 3 times. This last time really showed how old, tired, dirty the Sapphire is.
Our sliding glass balcony, "Club Class" door did not work and was never properly fixed. We ...
Our first cruise came from a recommendation and it was something new we wanted to experience. Overall you are very limited to variety and most days seemed like ground hog day. Cabin was beautiful and 5* treatment from our steward. The gym was the best I've been too but had nobody to supervise the users and the equipment, leading to children running around and treating it like a playground, also ...
My wife and I chose this cruise for two reasons. We had never been to this part of the world, and we had never been on a Princess cruise. The ports that we were seeing seemed great, parts of the world like Singapore or Vietnam, that we may never go to if not for this cruise.
I had read the the ship had just been refurbished in February of 2019, but I would be hard pressed to see that. I found ...
The Sapphire Princess has a well seasoned crew with some staff having over 15 years of experience. They provide generally good and attentive service but with a few exceptions, fail to really engage passengers (Our International Dining Room wait staff was very good and drew our respect for her honest opinions and suggestions about what to do in port and life in general). Wait staff in the buffet ...
Having been a frequent cruiser for 20+ years, this was the first time I've tried Princess. Absolutely regret giving them a try! Stay with the top tier lines!
* Ship was outdated and everything looked old and run down.
* Food was mediocre and service was SLOW!!!
* Entertainment was awful! Many nights featured a single performer playing an instrument. May be appealing to some but lack of ...
We were on the sapphire princess from december 7 - 28, 2019 for a 21 day cruise of southeast asia, including thailand, malaysia, vietnam, cambodia, and bali..
The trip turned out to be a very unpleasant vacation. Princess let us passengers, down badly. We have been on 33 cruises with a total of 6 different cruise lines including princess -- the sapphire princess was one of the poorest, if not ...
Cruise embarkation is a bliss.
However they mess up the dining time. I book for 5:30pm, and everything is triple confirm with the princess cruise staff during bookings. I am travelling with 2 kids aged 7 and 2 lovely moms 70 years old. They put us at 7:45pm which is a so so no for Asian.
I went to the customer service to check on this, and I was given those ( get out of here face and ...
The cruise was chosen so we could see most of Japan with the convenience of a cruise...perhaps we would have been better off using the rail system itself. Getting to our hotel from Haneda easily accomplished by riding the airport bus....45 min door to door, ¥1,350/person...Yokohama was worth spending a few days exploring before boarding. We explored easily on our own and the rail/subway system ...
I chose this cruise because of the numerous ports around Japan during the fall when we were supposed to observe the leaves changing colors.
We were in Tokyo before 3 times and we were looking forward to see the small port cities were the ship was going to dock.
Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly.
The ship is an old ship built in 2004, mainly for Japanese customers as per one of ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary, which did not disappoint, especially both Petra in Aqaba and Herculaneum in Naples were amazing.
Sad to say the Sapphire Princess did ,the food served up was at best ordinary and at worst downright bad, bad veggies, rotton fruit. Menu repeated over and over with no regional menus associated with our port calls. Drinks were overpriced. The shows were ...
