Princess Family Cruises Reviews

Greetings from aboard the Crown Princess! We are on a 16-day cruise to Hawaii, RT San Francisco. I boarded the ship with great trepidation. The Cruise Critic comments about the ship and the itinerary caused me to think that perhaps we'd made a grave error in booking this cruise. However, that angst was put to rest the first day. While more traditional (vs. glitzy) in appearance, the ship ...

I chose this cruise because it was a good value for the money I paid for it. It was my 2nd time on Princess. I would cruise with this line again but it is not my favorite. The shore excursion to the Waimea Canyon in Kaua'i was awesome, as was the one to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in Hilo which included a stop at the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory. There were too many nights in which I ...

I just got off the Regal a few days ago and here are my thoughts. Me: 61 years young, active, not quite retired, Midwesterner. I traveled with my brother and sister-in-law. I chose this itinerary for the ports that included Roatan and Belize, because I wanted to snorkel. Also, this cruise offered a reasonable fare for a solo balcony, my first time for that. This cruise is my last as a Platinum ...

This was our 6th Princess cruise. The last one we were on was one of the first after covid, 700 passengers We has our flights arranged through ez air. We were among last to board, but we did board! First time of rain in Ft Lauderdale, first port in Cays was cancelled so we were at sea til Wednesday. First 2 days it seemed staff was discombobulated. Food was ok but nothing special. We ...

This was a family trip that I was told I would attend. I only ever went on a cruise one other time(carnival) really didn't like that one as I felt it was for much younger folks than myself. This cruise was a little different. I liked most of the shows and on board entertainment. The food was ok, only used the buffet so rarely had actually hot food. The cabin I was in was pretty small. It was okay ...

This was our 4th Princess cruise and we really wanted to see the Panama Canal. The Ruby was a good choice, not too big. We know that it will always be a struggle to get a pool deck lounge chair or a table on the pool deck. The deck above the pool usually had lounge chairs available. The Panama Canal passengers were mostly over 50, many with walkers or scooters. This time we chose a mini-suite ...

We sailed on the Regal Princess out of Galveston last week in a BW obstructed extended balcony. there was no obstruction looking straight out. The room was clean, comfortable and the cabin steward did a fine job. We made all 3 port stops and had beautiful weather. Smooth sailing the entire week. The MDR food continues to disappoint. The quality in meats, butter, cheesecake etc is so much ...

Words to describe our first time on Princess: average, uninspired, meh, just ok. We usually cruise on Royal Caribbean or Norwegian, but since Crown Princess had a sailing out of SF during our ski week, we decided to try it. Going in, I knew it would be a smaller ship without the activities of an Oasis class RC ship. What I didn't expect was how average it all was. Nothing blew us away. We ...

We chose this sailing for an 80th birthday celebration for my mother. We wanted to leave from Galveston and were hoping for a more premium experience than the other lines sailing from there. I don’t think Princess delivered though. First, the Regal Princess is a beautiful ship. Most of the crew were friendly and thoughtful. However, before I even arrived at the terminal, I expected the worst. ...

We had so much fun! Our room steward was amazing! The food in the main dining room was very good. The breakfast buffet was also very good. The International Cafe was delicious and very easy to grab a quick bite. We went late to the dinner buffet, and it was not so great - but it was late and to be expected. The ports were a lot of fun, and this cruise seemed to be a nice mix of sea days and ...
