This was the worst travel experience of my life. It was our first time on a cruise and certainly the last with Grand Princess. This cruise is suitable for 60 year olds and above only. The cruise itself is extremely outdated! I wouldn’t even say it could pass as a family cruise. 1 of the 3 stops they made over the 2 weeks was an industrial area. We even did a tour and didn’t even see much at all. ...
Positives: (1) we were on board within a half hour of arrival to the the pier. (2) my dh and i won 2 trivia contests which had actual prizes-bottles of champagne (3) the princess app on the phone was easy to navigate. (4) dravuni, fiji cruise port is outstanding and saved this cruise from being a zero.
Negatives: (1) no ac in our cabin for 3 days in the hot south pacific. Impossible to have a ...
Embarking on this cruise I was surprised there was no covid screening requested or available prior to embarkation. Given the majority of passengers were seniors and there were 3500 people sharing what amounted to a sealed tin can, I found this a little odd.
After 7 days our cruise turned to rubbish: My wife contracted covid and was isolated to our room. Despite sharing the same room but ...
We have traveled on over 20 cruise over time and we have never been treated or had such a bad room / service from management ever. First the room flooded around 7.30 pm after being told they will vacuum and change the bedding with water still leaking from the roof i requested for the fifth time to be moved to another room they agread at 11.30 pm that was was not fun. Next day no contact from any ...
We chose this cruise so that we could travel from Adelaide and to experience the East side of Australia with the highlight being the Great Barrier Reef excursion in Cairns.
Our cabin on arrival was very cold and noisy from the air conditioner which had no option to turn off, only adjust the heat. We made the necessary adjustments to the basic control however many hours later it was still very ...
Friends anniversary
Appalling service, waited 1.5 hrs for every drink and food ordered some were never delivered but charged on app. App medallion did not work. No staff. This is with Princess plus package.
The whole ship was a disgrace.
Severe toxic fuel smell and sewerage smell down corridors.
Paid top money for 2 days - would never travel with this liner.
Went to speak with ...
We chose this as our bucket list cruise around the world. First the two items that were positive about this cruise:
1.The cabin stewards and the personnel in the Horizon Cafe were terrific when it came to service
2.The Horizon Cafe Buffet had a great selection of food which was well prepared and had a tremendous variety.
Unfortunately those are the only god things I can report about this ...
A World Cruise (WC) was on my bucket list and Princess is our preferred Cruise Line (4 of us). This was NOT a cruise I would repeat nor recommend. The Island Princess is old and needs A LOT of repairs - rust, mildew, mold, water leaks, cabin entry doors not opening and more. All major safety issues - I worked in Transportation Safety for over 20 years and Island is NOT a safe ship unless it has ...
We booked our World Cruise while on Antartica cruise 2020 on the Coral Princess. We had such a good time we decided to book the World Cruise 2021. The cruise was pushed to 2023 due to covid. Island Princess was rusty from the day we boarded Jan05. The entire ship was rusty. The sea witch logo was crying rust tears. The menu in the dining for 111 days never changed. We never had a hot meal. The ...
Post Covid we missed cruising after 30 plus cruises with a bit more than half with our preferred cruise company Princess. We did a short cruise in Queensland on the Coral in late June and making allowances for post-Covid adjustments the cruise was overall a good enjoyable experience. We also had credits from Covid cancellations to use.
Now the Grand (far-from-grand) experience.
Pre ...
