We didn't have to walk far to find a table while dining on the Lido deck. We didn't have to fore-go sitting by the pool because of lack of loungers. We didn't have to stroll long on the walking deck to locate comfortable chairs to rest in. In the Workout Room, we didn't have to stand around waiting to use equipment. Approaching the dining room, the waiting was at a minimal. Most nights we just ...
This was our first cruise with Princess and we were very impressed with the Caribbean Princess which to date is the largest ship we've sailed. We had an aft mini suite which was well laid out and very comfortable, the bed was comfortable although I don't believe it was pillow top. The balcony was extra large and open to the sky which we liked. We had many a breakfast out there and didn't really ...
We have been on 12 cruises and this is only the second time on Princess. I will start with the beginning and go from there. We arrived early in Ft.Lauderdale on November 25th and knew we might have to wait. We were given a number after checking in and was rudely told to find a seat in the terminal waiting area. There was confusion and a very hard to understand Princess person announcing who ...
Background - We started our trip by staying with people we met on our Princess Alaskan trip 3 years ago in Fort Lauderdale.
Embarkation - Did not go smoothly since Island was not in its usual berth and Princess reps had no clue also how to handle passengers. We took our friend to do the Bon Voyage experience and a little disappointing. Short tour and waiters had no idea what our friend was ...
Having cruised from Ft Lauderdale with Princess before the transfer to and from our pre cruise Miami hotel was exactly as we expected, just excellent.
Embarkation was quick and the ship looked in very good condition considering its age. Its layout was similar to the "Grand" class ships except the Horizon Court was at the front. Handy for us as our cabin was on Aloha deck right underneath. Each ...
In June 2012, we took the Emerald Princess Baltic cruise. We loved the ship then, and were not disappointing when we booked our Eastern Caribbean cruise on the same ship!
The sad part was, many of the employees we got to know so well on our Baltic cruise were gone for this trip. However, our waiter extraordinaire, Miguel was still on board. Even though he was now in charge of the Room ...
Mom and daughter - ages 67/42 in a mini suite on deck 8. We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn and parked at the pier. We arrived at 12:30 and were not on the ship until close to 3:00. It was absolutely chaotic as a last minute location change had really caused a lot of issues. This was definitely the worst part of the cruise. Our suite was great, not crazy about our steward on a personal level, very ...
We are a family of 4 (2 adults early 40's 2 kids 9 & 11) who love to cruise, we try to cruise a least once a year, this year we were lucky, this was our second cruise! We hadn't sailed Princess since 2005 and really enjoyed it back then so when looking for a Thanksgiving cruise we looked into Princess. The week of Thanksgiving 2012 the Grand Princess and the Caribbean Princess both sailed a 7 ...
People can always find fault with things if they want to. I choose not to and had a great time on the Caribbean Princess. Princess runs like a well oiled machine.
We were in our cabin by 12:15. A balcony mid-ship, was just perfect. The room was spotless - as was the balcony. In fact, I was impressed with the whole ship.
We liked the NON production shows. I think its time Princess shakes up ...
We flew to FLL from IAH on Tues. before the cruise left on Wed. and stayed at the Comfort Inn Airport Cruise Port South in Hollywood. They offered free shuttle service from the airport to the hotel as well as from the hotel to the cruise port. This hotel was in a very convenient location. We walked several blocks that night to eat dinner at the neatest place called the Moonlight Diner. The ...
