1. The day before the cruise a Typhoon hit Tokyo. We understand that you cannot do anything when mother nature hits but there was no communication, no notifications or emails from Princess explaining that there is a delay in the cruise ship coming back into port due to the Typhoon and that there was any delay in embarkation. There should have been an initial email warning of the approaching ...
People spitting on floor whilst sitting in spa, people spitting on carpet in marketplace buffet, people blowing snot from nose and spitting in hand basin that you are expected to wash hands in prior to entering food court, Casino door continually left open and smoke streaming out into main atrium, children allowed to run riot on dance floor after 10pm. Princess usually has dress standards for ...
This was our 18th cruise, our 11th with Princess. We were very disappointed with the way Princess's service levels have fallen since our first trip with them in 2001. The crew were at best inattentive, and often just plain nasty.
Our cabin had an inoperable balcony door, a broken safe, and what appeared to be semen stains on the sofa in our mini-suite when we got on board.
During the ...
This cruise experience was horrible. There are too many people and the food quality is bad.
We went to a pay French restaurant for $35 per person for my family 15 pp. The food was bad, we booked it because of the Michelin one Star. If you do take this cruise, DO NOT go to any pay restaurants. The pizza bar is surprising good. The Gong Cha -Taiwanese famous bubble tea shop is horribly staffed ...
Princess contractors in ports were cheating customers insisting you have to sign register for tickets to get on free bus. Ship's management, which was well aware of situation, refused to adjust $45 on bill that fraudulently stolen. Spent $50,000 with Carnival Corp. this year. Asian food in dining room was outstanding, service good, improved wine program great, bought gold 12 bottle package. Beef ...
Most disappointed Princess Cruise after previous Sapphire, Royal, Regal and Diamond. We found the ship crowded with long queues, Bellinis and Vine became waiting area with tour guides and passengers, everyone rushing here and there, talking, burping and sneezing loudly. It was really chaotic and people took pictures everywhere including climbing up and down the equipment at the gym, and that there ...
I liked the look of the itinerary.
However, there was no porter service at embarkation. The two Korean ports were a first for this ship, and nearly no one spoke English in the ports.
All onboard activities, including entertainers and cruise activities were conducted in Chinese.
And there were no onboard acknowledgments for Elite Captains Circle members.
The ships signage is ...
We’ve done a few cruises with other liners and they were so much better than the Princess if you are between 70 - 90 yrs old, then this slow paced ship is designed for you it was boring. The same program almost every day. The constant pushing and harassment to get you to buy on board all the very overpriced things suggesting markdowns, discounts, buy buy buy! The staff are friendly enough, it’s ...
We wanted to visit those ports that were listed on itinerary! We didn’t like the tendering to shore n back. The line was too long!
Weather was not great, hot humid and the sea air smelled like fishy! Time to spend on shore was too short!
Got sea sick from the cabin being the last end of ship! Horrible cabin room design for disabled wheelchair accessible shower! Shower did not drain n ...
This past January we went on an Asian Cruise with Princess Cruises. We were to board our cruise in Shanghai, reporting to board our cruise beginning at 12:00PM, Jan. 5fth. Then, the night before, I received an e-mail indicating the ship was late arriving on port and we should report beginning at 4:00PM. As we arrived at the terminal, our taxi driver noted the main gate was closed and a worker was ...
