Princess Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Cruise Reviews

Just off the Ruby Princess. Here is what I can share with you. My 6th cruise, but first with Princess. We are casual people and have been mostly on Carnival because of that but we wanted to try and avoid kids on this trip. We over-corrected, this was definitely an older crowd. We are not overly social or heavy partiers so it didn't really bother us, though. But we did the Anytime dining and ...

We have been long time cruisers with Princess and other Cruise lines. Our trip on the Ruby Princess just last week was where we found the little things that we had experienced with Princess in the past were now missing or were seen as extras. Embarkation was controlled chaos, as the PA system was garbled and the noise level so high so the staff had to resort to yelling out instructions as ...

Although my husband and I have cruised twice before, this was our first cruise without the kids. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary - more on that later. Embarkation - We were in a mini-suite, so no priority boarding. But we ignored Princess's recommendation to arrive late and arrived early instead, around 10 AM. We were able to walk right in and through security quickly. We waited in ...

We took advantage of previous cruiser discount promotion and booked in January for March 3 departure to Eastern Caribbean. Previous Alaska cruise on Princess which we enjoyed very much. Previous trip to Caribbean, but not in many years so interested to relax and revisit. We booked with room guarantee and were happy with the nice upgrade to Riviera deck and the cabin location, mid-ship. Never ...

Just back from (10) night cruise on the Coral Princess which included a partial transit of the Panama Canal. This was our 11th cruise (3rd on Princess ships)Prior to booking, I read lots of Cruise Critic Member reviews of this ship and I have to wonder if I was on the same Coral Princes ship as some of the other reviewers. We were more than pleased with the condition of the ship and the service ...

The night before our cruise our cruise critic roll call enjoyed a great meet and greet dinner at Bimini Boatyard. It was a wonderful way to start the week! After dinner we walked down to Total Wine and Publix to load up on wine and munchies (yes I needed chips for the drunken munchies -- and I must say I'm thankful I had them after days of sipping rum by the pool!). Embarkation -- Arrived at ...

The initial trip by cab into the cruise port was long and congested. Don't think that's Princess' fault but they ought to look at that as other lines don't have huge lines for cabs or cars to drop off. Once out of the cab the staff that greets you (and I use that term lightly) did not direct anyone. You just followed the crowd and hoped it was going to the right ship. I kid you not! The ...

We just returned from our 10 day cruise aboard the Island Princess. Below is my overall review: 1. Pre-cruise: We flew to Fort Lauderdale 4 days early and stayed at the Universal Palms in Fort Lauderdale. We arrived at about 2am and I was honestly hesitant to check in. The hotel lobby was very well maintained and the front desk attendant was quite helpful however the outside of the hotel ...

We were on the "cruise to nowhere" last year (2012), when the Crown Princess was brought back to Ft Lauderdale due to a large percentage of passengers coming down with Norovirus. So really, any cruise that went on without illness would be better. That said, I'm beginning to think that I'm not really a "cruise person". The good things about this vacation: the weather was warm and wonderful. ...

Our family chose a Southern Caribbean cruise for February, 2013, with the Princess Cruise line. Our ship was the Caribbean Princess. A week with family was fabulous, and we had so many lovely hours of visiting and laughing. Our visit with them could not have been better. Embarkation was smooth and without issue. We were greeted by our cabin steward with a smile and enthusiasm. Not once ...
