With this being our 11th cruise, I think it's safe to say we have become addicts. Unpack once, a lot pampering (the wife loves that part), meeting new people and just relaxing!
So we are some of those people who prefer to book an interior. In part because we prefer to spend on more cruises than on the room itself. We have read the arguments but for us, interior is fine. I did notice that the ...
We wanted to celebrate our 48th anniversary and we've always enjoyed Princess. Our experience on the Island Princess and now the Crown means we'll only use Princess if it is a newer ship.
We had fun on the cruise. We did any time dining and shared tables and every meal we met great folks, had good conversations and decent, sometimes great food. Our room was a mini suite and while old, it was ...
We joined six other family members on this cruise. This was our second time sailing on a princess ship. Boarding took a bit of time and we had to wait quite awhile, but disembarkment was extremely smooth. We had an aft cabin, unfortunately it was located next to a noisy vent. Making it hard to sleep. We enjoyed the trivia games, but did not care for the musical productions. Our whole group ...
We have been exclusive to Princess the past few years in our cruising. I feel compelled to share my experience. Things happen but this was too much...
The ship and the itinerary: We are not fans of days at sea, we chose this cruise because there would be only 3 days at sea. The generator issue is a bigger problem than they admit to. Princess cancelled the day at their private island which ...
I was with a group of over 50 from our neighborhood. We did this two years ago on another princess cruise ship with much better results. By the time we left over 15 of us were sick. The gym area is ground zero for passing germs and not only were you it of wipes one day but there was NEVER any attendant in the area to make sure those machines were wiped down after use. Yet you couldn’t walk ...
The itinerary, 10 days southern Caribbean, but we had to skip one port of call, because of the generator the ship couldn't go full speed and two other port of calls the times where shortened. All in all it was a nice cruise, friendly staff, good food, the entertainment had a lot to be desired. The cruise Director was great. the pizza and ice cream were good. We were always able to find chairs at ...
The Southern Caribbean itinerary was very attractive, but we should have done more research on the ship, which was launched in 2006 and badly needs a complete overhaul and refurbishing. The engines are seriously in need of repair, as other reviewers have noted. The engines' poor performance slowed the ship so that one scheduled stop was cancelled, and we have been late in arriving at others, ...
Like the Crown Princess - gym is excellent - many cardio machines, weight machines and free weights.
I had never been to some of the ports.
Queen Sea Poker tournament
Leaves from and returns to Fort Lauderdale.
Love the Medallion- love the “ on demand movies” in the room. - great variety and new ones daily !
I was SO disappointed with the food choices- but on the “ up ...
We picked this cruise for the itinerary and length of cruise. My initial thought was that Princess and Celebrity are about on par, which really is not the case.

Ship and Entertainment: There are lots of little hidden spots to find a place to sit and relax. The entertainment is really good on Princess and there are lots of little venues to see the entertainment. Lots of music ...
The good:
Princess Medallion system is excellent, fast embarkation, easy room access, order stuff right from your phone app.
Ship based internet is now reliable and has good speed.
Caribbean in February is awesome. 85f and sunny every day is just what we were looking for.
Crew workers as always are giving it their best.
Loved Ford vs Ferrari movie on the big outside screen.
And ...
