Chose this cruise because we wanted to see Fall Colors in Canada/New England and had had favorable experiences on Princess in the past.
However, this is an OLD ship (2004 refurbished 2019) and shows its age as well as lack of modern amenities. Although we didn't pay the most for our oceanview cabin we did not expect it to have bunk beds which protruded from the wall on either side of the queen ...
We had booked this cruise hoping to see fall colors but much of the trees had not yet turned. We booked an overnight stay in Montreal with Princess before embarking on the cruise. Montreal accommodations were nice but the transfer process was lacking. The busses picked us up so late that we didn’t reach the ship until 4:00 pm which caused us to miss out on several hours in Quebec City. The ...
We choose this cruise because it travelled to places in Canada we have never been..... and still haven't been to. We did encounter the pre bits of Hurricane Lee and the Captain made the decision to skip Charlestown, PEI, Halifax, NS and Bar Harbor, MN and shelter for 3 days in Boston. So we missed over 60% of our cruise and spent 3 calm days in Boston for a Hurricane that never came... beyond ...
I wanted to visit the British Isles and after an exceptional cruies to Alaska, was ready to experience the same here. Unfortunately that was not the case. I was totally disappointed. The ship was in dire need of renovations, my cabin has shredded carpet, poor plumbing, ( bathroom flooded, toilet clogged). I understand maintenance issues happen, but when I have to wait in excess of 2 hours to get ...
Oh my so many things to say. I will start positive by saying that the staff in the coral dining room are amazing but the rest are quite inattentive and either not knowledgeable or not helpful.
This cruise is not what I thought it would be.
They have an app that you have to use constantly on board and it is super glitchy. It’s supposed to work do that you can order things and they find you ...
This cruise was quite telling about the degree of cutbacks Princess is implementing trying to regain financial stability at the expense of decreasing the quality of goods and services provided. At first, it did not make too much of a difference in not having any stationary or writing instrument in the cabin but then the soap bars disappeared. Now with the new medallions for the medallion class ...
We chose this cruise purely because of the itinerary, and the hope of seeing the Canadian fall. We had traveled on two previous Princess cruises, which we enjoyed. Unfortunately, this cruise was a big disappointment.
There were some things that we liked:
The cabin was clean and nicely decorated, with a comfortable bed. Missing, however, were items such as a pen and paper, a bottle of water, ...
This was a back to back cruise on the Majestic Princess both leaving from Southhampton in September and then disembarking in New York starting in October of 2022. On this 22 day cruise the crew were always polite and tried to help. Problem was, that for most of them, this was their first cruise and had very little information of areas of the ship or even what was located where. Also, the public ...
We chose this cruise to go to Bar Harbor, Ma. but did not get to port there. Hurricane Fiona decided to come to Canada. We missed three of our five ports. That, though, was due to weather which I can see. Our problems started at the LaGuardia Airport in NYC. We had bought transfers to the ship, but there was a problem with the buses. The busses were nonexistent, and we were told by Princess staff ...
Normally, we do not write reviews and on this transatlantic cruise we enjoyed our Cabin Steward and some of the entertainment staff. As I read some of the reviews I fully agree with the negatives concerning The World Market Place, and the poor WI-FI. We felt for one young woman who is a remote worker and she could not connect. And yes the Cruise Director made a joke of this. The main dining was ok ...
