"I’d much prefer a larger cabin then balcony so next time I might opt out of the upgrade.The coffee and cones concession was run by Max and Pavlo and they were always good for a few laughs...."Read More

Would be a solid 5 if Princess could get creative with their entertainment

This was our 5 Princess cruise (3 around 2015 and 1 this past April on the Majestic). This cruise ended up being covered with all the COVID credits we received. As with the cruise in April the entertainment is just lack luster, boring and with little creativity. Don't get me wrong, the performers themselves are quite talented but when you have a ventriloquist 2 nights (out of a 5 night cruise) ...

The food was good during the day and evening. At Late night, not so mush. After 10 PM the only places to get food was at the "International Cafe," (mostly sweet rolls or Coffee), or room Service. You want entertainment? When you go to the Theater you better like Musicals. Five out 0f 7 was Musicians. The other 2 nights was the same comedian. He never did anything at any of the night clubs on ...

It was our first time cruising with Princess and it won't be our last. our stateroom steward Fernandes Benil made sure our room was nice and tidy, very polite and friendly. I am glad our friends invited us to travel with them. The lido food was always fresh. I must mentioned the pizza was amazing. The only thing I had a problem was with the creamer for the coffee was always short, they would ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

First time on Caribbean Princess will be my last. Ship is past retirement date and it shows (rust is everywhere, hallways are visibly worn/dented). Staff seemed poorly trained and most were unable to communicate understandably (aside from "Good Morning"). Dining room food was satisfactory but other offerings were not edible ("grilled" chicken sandwich was tough as shoe leather; the "handcrafted" ...

The Caribbean Princess needs to be remodeled or taken out of service. It is dated and subpar. The pools did not get cleaned with a filter (as standard on land) and by the 3rd day all pools were murky and had a sheen of body oil and sunscreen. The service was good with exceptional staff at the Wheelhouse Bar and Lotus Spa. The cruise was very short staffed but the crew that was present did a ...

I was hesitant about going on a cruise during this pandemic. But being vaccinated and boosted I felt safe. Also, knowing the entire staff was vaccinated and masked the whole time was comforting. The entire staff was wonderful, the ship was clean and met all our needs. The ship was constantly being cleaned. The entertainment was just wonderful. The food was exquisite and the portions were ...

I was ready for another cruise post-pandemic. Couldn't get anyone to go with me, so I went solo, biting the bullet and paying the single supplement. I booked the cruise through [an agency]. I guess that there was something of a discount but I found out that a couple of other solo passengers didn't pay as much as I did, so maybe next time I will try another agency or book directly with Princess. I ...

Understaffed Ship - Almost Full Capacity Sailing

This was cruise number 4 of 2022 for me as I continue to use up credits from past COVID related cancellations. I did this same itinerary back in February 2022. Back then, the ship sailed at about 25% capacity and I really enjoyed it. This most recent cruise on the same ship and itinerary was a completely different animal. It sailed at almost full passenger capacity with a reduced ...

This ship is filled to capacity & it’s clear they are under staffed. Tables are not cleared & reset in the buffet & outdoor eateries. Princess still serves a condensed, liquid coffee that is mixed with hot water, so basically it’s instant coffee. Fresh brewed is only available for purchase In Coffee & Cones or International Cafe. Every other cruise line (Celebrity, Holland America, Royal ...

My husband and I cruise very often and we enjoy the Princess Cruise service. On this cruise, we had a balcony cabin on the Riviera deck towards the back of the ship. There was a sewage blockage somewhere in the ship and the cabins became flooded. The staff did their best to clean it up but I requested to change cabins. As you walk on that particular area of the ship, you can see the moldy residue ...
