We went on a miniAlaska cruise from Vancouver, ending in Seattle. The checkin process in Vancouverwas poorly organized. We ended up standing in line for over an hour. The ship itself is OK but in need of upgrading. Staff for the most part were friendly and helpful. We disembarked to have lunch in Ketchikan. When we returned there was a very long line to get back on the ship. Only one ...
We just returned from a cruise on the Caribbean Princes.
We departed Quebec City and ended in NY.
Overall, the cruise was very disappointing.
Pre-covid we had traveled on two cruises with Princes.
These were much better and based on these experiences we booked the cruise in late Sept. of this year.
The difference is noticeable.
The cruise lines took on huge new debt during the ...
We loved the crew. Everyone was very helpful and very pleasant. The ship was average but it does need some work. Very limited outlets in the rooms. Our bathroom stunk from floor drains that are never cleaned. These should be cleaned and sanitized regularly. We had to keep the bathroom door closed so we could sleep at night and it wasn’t odor from human waste. The sill on our sliding door to the ...
Embarkation: arrived at the port at 11:45. Baggage handlers were ready at the curb. We were in the green lane and proceeded quickly thru security and onto the ship.
The ship was in great condition. We had an unexpected sea day at the start of our journey because tropical storm Ophelia caused us to leave New York Harbor a day late. The ship anchored for our first night near the Verrazano ...
I booked this cruise with two other couples I met on a previous cruise, and we wanted to get together again and decided on this one. Embarkation was very speedy being in the green lane. There was a long line for the blue lane. The food service was good onboard regarding lido deck dining such as Salty Dog or Slices. Dining room was always lengthy. The three times I went to the dining room, it was ...
This cruise was VERY hard to rate. The layout of the ship, the food, the service and the comedy and magic entertainment were all very good. The itinerary was good in Newport, Boston, St. John and Quebec -- otherwise there wasn't a lot more to see. Unfortunately there were numerous sour notes.
The ship was old but mostly well maintained. In our cabin, however, the mattress was nearly worn ...
I will start out with we are not hard to please. Fifteen cruises in, all different lines and our age probably has something to do with that.
Our cabin on Caribe deck and balcony were fine. Once the toilet didn't work and someone was there immediately to fix it.
Our cabin stew and all the crew were so very pleasant and helpful and they were all so very personable.
Our ports and time in ...
We chose this itinerary as we wanted to do London (5 days prior) and the British isles. We had a standard balcony. It worked for us but I think I prefer the deluxe balcony with a bit more room. Our room steward, Romy, was excellent. The September weather, although pleasantly cool, didn’t lend itself to sitting out on a balcony nor sunbathing. No big deal. We enjoyed the ports especially Cork, ...
We cruised on this same ship - Regal about 4 yrs ago on the Baltic Cruise. The quality of the food and service since then has improved. The dining room dinners were very good - better than 4 yrs ago. The service seemed better too. Our attendants were on the ball. The first cruise on Regal we had mini suite and this time we had mini suite one level higher and one room further forward. The cabin ...
I chose this cruise for the itinerary. I love going to New England and Canada, and I liked that we would be in port every day except the last day. I live close to Brooklyn and my friend lives in Brooklyn, so I suggested we go on this cruise together. She has cruised on Princess before and I haven't, and she told me I'd be in for a treat. Well, not so much in this case.
Embarkation in Brooklyn ...
