We picked this cruise originally as it was to be the 3rd cruise on Sun Princess as it turned out it was the inaugural cruise which was more expensive at the time of booking but we felt by the 3rd cruise all would be working what a mistake!!!
Princess should have let us know before we travelled that the theatre and park 19 would be unavailable to us instead just giving 60$ each when we on board ...
Imagine this scenario: Princess Cruiseline sends out an email to booked passengers for the 2/28 Inaugural (by default after 2/8 and 2/18 were canceled) cruise. The email discloses that, despite their best efforts, the ship just isn't quite ready yet. Never the less, they have decided to sail as planned vs canceling outright. This fantasy email gave passengers the option of rescheduling to a ...
1) No production shows. The arena isn’t ready and actors need to rehearse. Everyone was given a $60 credit.
2) Santorini port visit was cancelled. Something about the cable car in town was undergoing maintenance. Crete was substituted.
3) I’d suggest making dinner reservations each night in horizons level 6 or 7. Then if you want to go to a speciality restaurant jsut cancel the horizons ...
Staff is great and they out of their way to please customers.
Food is below average and repeats every day.
Ship layout is amazing and provides feeling of a smaller ship. Nothing is ever crowded.
Reserve balconies are good for one person. However the room a spacious.
Spa wasn't fully ready.
Onboarding was smooth even for a large ship.
Cost management is very obvious. Big shows ...
I was advised that being on the inaugural cruise is like being the guinea pig. Therefore, I purposely chose the third sailing of the new Sun Princess cruise. However, due to the cancellation of the first two sailings, we ended up on the inaugural cruise. I was excited, thinking that everything on the cruise would be brand new, and I hoped the advice I got wasn't true. As it turns out, my friend ...
Free balcony casino player offer. Cabin lovely - glass shower enclosure, sofa, comfy twin beds, adequate closet and drawers. Still winter in Europe so balcony not used. Shows with guest performers in atrium seen on three levels. A few standouts but no theater experiences in arena. Area 19 closed. Buffet extra crowded and noisy at B&L. 7:30 deck 6/7 dining rooms had long lines waiting to be seated ...
Booked on 3rd cruise, ended up on 1st cruise. Feb 14 cancelled with four day’s notice. No communication from Princess. Would have cancelled if we could but they had our money. Ended up on a ship that was not ready to sail. Obvious cash grab by Princess. It was a bait and switch. All large performance venues closed. Many on deck amenities closed or broken. They did work tirelessly to fix stuff and ...
Having crossed the Atlantic last year from Southampton on the disappointed Sky Princess, our travel companions persuaded us to try again this year on the Enchanted Princess. This year was far better than last. We were disappointed to skip Funchal on the island of Madeira due to a strike by the Portugese harbor pilots and the substituted stop of Gran Canary was not nearly as good.
Overall the ...
This was my first cruise since the pandemic.I noticed a real decline in the food and noticed soiled upholstery on much of the fabric furniture.Soiled carpets along our hallway to our cabin.This is the last ship to be built in its class.I sailed the Royal Princess in 2015 and there was no comparison!Some of the furniture seems more cheaply constructed like the sofa bed in our stateroom L216.The ...
I wanted to try a royal class ship and picked the enchanted princess for the European ports. But as luck will have it . They had to cancel Madeira due to a naval pilot strike. The ship is beautiful, clean but is showing wear in the cabin and hallway carpets, and lumpy beds. The only annoying things are the cost cutting measures put in place. Note cost cutting words were used by Princess staff. ...
