This was my 19th cruise. It all began with plumbing problems on my 2022 cruise on Island Princess. I had received a good will discount that had to be applied within a year. I decided to book a 14 night B2B cruise (from 1/28 - 2/11/2024) on this ship because I liked the itinerary and the ports would be new for me. This review is about the second week.

DINING: This was our second Princess Cruise and the experience that impressed us the most was the elevated cuisine in the main dining room (Botticelli). Having previously sailed on Celebrity (Millenium), Holland America (Zuiderdam), Cunard (Queen Elizabeth), and Princess (Ruby), I would have rated Princess at the bottom of the list for dining. After this cruise on the Crown Princess, I would now ...
Overall rating - around 3.5 / 5

Seems like Princess are skimping on staff. Distinct lack of drinks waiters. Having to wait up to 20 minutes for a waiter to come by. Cost of drinks very expensive. Basic glass of wine $15.one would think that it would pay to have extra staff as this is where a lot of money is made.
Food was great. Entertainment excellent. We only took x1 Princess excursion as they were ridiculously expensive, a ...
We were travelling with friends from a previous cruise. There
The ship is dated. The external appearance is worn. The interior fittings in looked dark and out of style but
The cabin decks carpets looked worn.
The ship layout was confusing having travel up and down decks to reach the rear restaurant. ,,,
The medallion app was great and easy to use, streamlining drink orders etc. ...
Buenos Aries. Embarkation was a nightmare. The cruise terminal was destroyed by a storm 4 weeks ago. Princess has not adequately responded. If you have a Princess transfer you will be taken care of. Everyone Else waited in long line in the sun. I was in a wheelchair and line took 3 hours and 20 minutes. No English speaking Princess employees to even explain what was happening. No signs to ...
Our weeklong cruise on the Regal Princess to Mahahual (Costa Maya), Mexico; Roatan, Honduras; and Cozumel, Mexico was a mixed experience.
The new Princess app and the website were both frustratingly difficult to navigate.
The public areas of the ship were spacious and beautiful, living up to the ship’s name. However, throughout the cruise there was poor sanitation in the public restrooms, ...
I went solo on this cruise and there was a great group of people who organized several activities such as a gift exchange, duck painting and a slot pull. Cabin steward was good and there were plenty of activities. The Retreat pool was the best and I enjoyed the Enclave. Also had speed painting which was a fun idea. There were 4 different comedians on a 7 day cruise and the production shows were ...
The service was great and the crew were very attentive. Lots of people work on the ship and they tried very hard to please. The cabin steward kept our room clean. The waiters were very nice and did a good job. The food and entertainment were not that great. The dinner food was better than the food available in the buffet and room service, but none of it was that tasty. The specialty restaurants ...
The last time we cruised on Princess was a wonderful Panama cruise in 2017. After that, we decided we were done with cruising for a while until last fall when I saw a cruise leaving Galveston, 7 nights, Western Caribbean. It was in our budget, so we reserved a balcony cabin.
The ship is very beautiful inside, but overall the cruise was quite disappointing, mostly due to the poor quality of ...
