We went on this cruise so that we could see the Panama Canal. Overall, I guess it was a good cruise. The captain and leadership staff was not nearly as informative of situations and concerns on the ship as in other cruises taken during Covid times. 4 hour delay from leaving Ft. Lauderdale (no reason provided or announcement made). 4 hour delay leaving Panama (no reason provided or announcement ...
Panama Canal was the reason we chose this cruise.
Overall the cruise was great but we all got COVID. They did not enforce the mask rule and ignored my complaints when I reminded them that people were sitting in the lounge unmasked for hours. I took pictures.
Jamaica and Bahamas refused to let us dock because we had passengers/staff onboard with covid. Luckily we already docked at the ...
We chose this Cruise because we did not have to fly to the Port. We have cruised with Princess many times ( Elite ).
Our group of 6 hired a private driver for door to door service. The embarking went smooth. The passenger count was less then the Crew. The staff worked very very hard to welcome the passengers. The food quality was not very good. The entertainment on board was exceptional. We ...
We were previously on the B2B of the previous two 10-night sailings - see below for the comprehensive reviews. My husband and I were full of holiday cheer and craft cocktails when I looked at the forecast at home, considered how much fun we’d had on the previous two sailings, and threw caution to the wind, booking this voyage while onboard. While we wanted sun and fun, let’s be clear - it was ...
I used to cruise quite often, when cruising was a relatively new travel option. I took an hiatus for a while and discovered what this travel form has mutated into is not for anyone who has expectations a beyond Motel 6 level of service and food on par with a mediocre, local diner. All of this is presented in smart uniforms, making a great show to encourage generous tipping.
If this is what ...
We always sailed Princess. I was excited for this sunny adventure. Princess truly let us down in their overbooking, understaffing and purchasing the lowest quality food. I don’t know what to say as I am normally raving about this line! We even hold stock in their owning company, Carnival and have done so for nearly a decade. No more. Time to sell as this line has dropped service standards as ...
The timing of this cruise between Christmas and New Year's, including a shipboard New Years Eve celebration was a primary driver for selecting this cruise. The ports of call to St. Thomas and St. Kitts were also excellent destinations. The weather and seas were simply spectacular! The cruise staff were outstanding. After one trip to a bar, the server would remember your name and your drink of ...
Went with a group. Time with group was great. The new medallion tool and app caused me way to much stress. Only worked to open door and charge purchases on ship. Absolutely no internet, email or phone use. Missed a prepaid land trip as I didn’t get notice. My email and credit were hacked upon boarding. Couldn’t address while onboard, even on their computers. Cruises are to be stress free! We were ...
Besides being only the 4th cruise back for this ship, it went very well. The dining room was obviously understaffed however the previous two cruises only had about 1400 passengers and the next cruise was only going to have about 1200. Our cruise had 2400. Embarkation was a bit of a pain because we had numerous problems with the app during the pre-cruise experience and had to do some things at the ...
I was eager to go on a Christmas cruise. I booked one on the Carnival Horizon but it had to go into drydock so I signed up for the Regal Princess. After this cruise I believe it is a bad time to sail. The ship was at 60% capacity, which may seem like a good thing, but fewer people meant compromise. The food was terrible and repetitive. An interesting thing was that we were told there would be ...
