It's probably been about 20 years since I've taken a Princess Cruise, so I had a lot to review on this cruise. The first thing is that all Princess Cruises Ships now use the Medallion instead of a cabin key card and that process works well. As soon as you get close to your door, you can hear it unlock and it allows you easy entry. The Medallion Class app that is downloaded on your cell phone is a ...
We choose. this cruise because of the price, we had been on the Princess in November 2021 and on Holland America in February 2022 and felt very secured in not getting COVID 19 everyone was required to wear masks when indoors, ,and you had to be fully vaccinated. So when we saw the price for this cruise we decided to take it.This cruise you had to be fully vaccinated but where not required to wear ...
Never had been to the Eastern Caribbean and had been on the Caribbean Princess on 3 previous cruises. We had enjoyed cruising on the Caribbean Princess on our previous cruises. Accommodations were good, food and entertainment were good, and staff was excellent. Our only other cruise on a different Princess ship was a cruise to Alaska on the Island Princess, and the cruise was excellent, our ...
I hope this review is helpful.
For some reference - We are avid cruisers (+30) sailing on various lines including Princess. Our past cruise experience includes Princess competitors as well as some luxury lines. Our future sailings are guided by world destinations we're marking off our list, but also a few cruises from our home state of Florida each year. So here is our unabridged ...
I had a wonderful time on this cruise aboard the Caribbean Princess. The staff was awesome and the voyage was fun. The food was great. The drinks were good. Had fun at some of the events like the Marriage Game, Read My Lips, and Trivia. The one show called Bravo was excellent. Only drawback I had was not having enough outlets to charge my portable devices.
Just to be able to relax when we ...
I truly enjoyed not having to wear a mask onboard. I spent most of my time in The Sanctuary and loved it!
The food was good with a few exceptions (too rare Prime Rib--it was almost mooing!) The World Fresh Marketplace food was delicious but the lines were long. The crowd of people blocked the view of some of the items on offer. But everything I had was great. Try the curried lamb!
As ...
The ship was clean and service was good. Not enough staff, however for the full ship. Had trouble being served at some of the bars and lounges. Coffee at breakfast in the dining room was delicious. Best I’ve ever had on a ship. Food was terrible, even in the specialty restaurants. Didn’t care for the wine selection. Nothing from the states. Big miss: Not enough shaded space. We have ...
We had toilet issues, calling 3 times for issues ongoing with flushing and noise.
The Medillion didn’t work well and it was the topic of several crew members, including the cruise director and the comedians. We were paying for this service.
Food was just ok nothing special. Only 2 of the specialty restaurants were open all cruise and were booked solid so no reservations could be made. ...
Wow, has Princess changed. Smoking is now allowed in the Casino. The result is a stale smoke smell throughout the midship area on level 5,6 and 7, and in the midship elevators. Unhappy staff and I think that was due to a full ship with insufficient staff members. Restaurant and bar service was lacking. As far as food in the buffet....it was the same every day. I felt like I was being served ...
This was our first cruise post Covid. My wife and who are both Elite status with Princess were traveling with two other couples. Having cruised with Princess before I had certain expectations about service and the quality of the Princess product.
Embarkation was well organized and we were on the ship within 30 minutes of arrival at the terminal. Providing all of the required documents prior to ...
