Asia Coral Princess Asia Cruise Reviews

We had friends going on this cruise and joined them. We are getting more and more disappointed in the nickel-and-diming done by Princess. Everything seems to cost more every time we cruise. They have taken away "Happy hour". The Elite Lounge used to have $5 for any drink, now its over $6 for crappy syrupy drinks. No more coffee cards, so they don't roll over - use them or lose them. If you ...

The itinerary sounded so good. Alaska, Asia and South Pacific. Unfortunately we missed the first port in Japan due to weather. A second port was missed because of lack of fuel in the second biggest port in Japan - Yokohama. What an excuse! The ship left the pier as scheduled only to drop anchor 45 min. later where we remained overnight ( no commend or explanation from the bridge ) only to return ...

After 20 cruises on Princess chips, this cruise was such an awful experience that I cannot recommend Princess to anyone anymore. This was a 60 day cruise around the north Pacific. It was round trip from Los Angeles, so it was very convenient for west coast travelers. We were able to stop at the following ports: Ketchikan, Juneau, Hoonah, Kodiak, Yokohama, Hiroshima, Tianjin, Incheon, ...

We chose the Coral Princess Circle-the-North-Pacific cruise because it offered us the opportunity to visit several countries that were still on our Bucket List: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines. We enjoyed it despite two cancellations---Kushiro (weather-related) and Osaka (logistical issues). The itinerary would have benefited from fewer Alaskan ports, Icy Strait Point being the ...

This was our 30th cruise on Princess and the worst we’ve been on.☹️ The itinerary was 60 days round trip from LA to Asia. The ship itself was poor. On the embarkation day there were fewer than 50 books in the library! Not acceptable! The entertainment director told me it was because people hadn’t returned the books. That is not true. There were none to begin with. The food was relatively ...

Earlier this year we did the 94-day World Cruise on the Pacific Princess and expected that since this was a 60-day cruise the onboard activities, food and entertainment would be similar. Unfortunately Princess treated it like a 14-day cruise. Choose this cruise for the itinerary which was very good except that Beijing should have been an overnight. Rough weather between Alaska and Japan ...

The itinerary of 60 days from LA to LA, beginning in Alaska, going through Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Guam , and finishing up in Hawaii before heading back to LA was the big draw. However, the many operational calamities that befell the ship took away much of the shine of the trip. Two skipped ports, one from not having ordered a fuel barge, very poor ...

I chose this cruise for the ports in Asia that were offered. One port in Japan was missed because of weatherr, another port in Japan was missed due to the poor organization of fuel delivery causing us to sit at anchor for a full day. The crew seemed to try to accommodate us, but their leadership was sorely lacking. Little things like the wine prices suddenly hiked when the menu prices were still ...

WHO WE ARE We are Charles and Judy from Colorado Springs. Flew in two days early because I could not stand one more day staring at a pile, and I mean a big pile, of suitcases. We stayed at the Doubletree in San Pedro. I am a HHonors members and try to stay at Hiltons because I use points. The last time we stayed here I was disappointed. Not this time. The remodel is over with and its very nice. ...

Princess Cruise Lines markets this type of a cruise as a "Grand Adventure." The problem was that there was nothing "grand" about it what-so-ever. Aside from the amazing ports of call the on board experience was mediocre at best. There was nothing innovative or unique at all, just a 7 day Caribbean or Mexican Riviera cruise recycled week after week. Every sea day at 10 a.m. (there were 39!) the ...
