Wanted full passage Panama canal cruise and Emerald Princess delivered. I found this to be a mostly wonderfully cruise with fabulous entertainment and games galore. While it was his last assignment on Emerald, Fernando the cruise director was everywhere helping to entertaining guests with games and contests. The shows were great,, especially the premiere of ROCK OPERA. Balcony cabin on Baja 11 ...
Overall, this was my third cruise with Princess. While it was my second time post-pandemic, I'm observing Princess' evolution in the wake of losses sustained during the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Princess has definitely implemented many small changes across the spectrum. It probably still is a "premium" line because all of the other cruise lines have faced the same realities and have made ...
We had a good time and got to see and go places that we haven't been to yet. Going through the Panama Canal was the highlight of the trip, but we enjoyed all of the ports.
The ship was nice and the more mature crowd was what we were looking for. The food was good and the selections from the menu were nice. The various specialty restaurants were all nice, as well.
Generally, the service was ...
The only "obstruction" was the normal glass wall was solid. Balcony was normal width but 3 times deeper than the normal Princess balcony room. The AC in the room was awesome! We'd leave it around 50% during the day. Leave for dinner, close the curtains, turn down the AC and by bed time, it was 68ish. Kid's club is fantastic, only 8 kids on this cruise (our kid's 7th Princess trip). ...
We chose this Cruise because it went to different destinations in the Caribbean. We flew from London to Miami and transported across to Fort Lauderdale because we wanted to be with Americans.
We have done many cruises from our home in the UK ,but they are always full of Brits and if we want to holiday with Brits then why travel all the way to the Caribbean? Might as well stay home.

My high-ish rating was the experience I shared with my family (Mother-in-law, Brother & Sister-in-law another supposes). The company as a whole has some things to work on. This was probably our 15th or so cruise. But it was our first with Princess Cruise Lines. We are in our late 50s early 60s.
We started our experience with their new "Concierge, Suite Experience. This get's a 5-star rating ...
I had never been to some of the ports on the Western Caribbean, including Roatan, and Costa Maya, so booked this cruise. The Sky Princess is a fabulous ship! It never seemed crowded, even with 3500 passengers on board. The crew and staff were wonderful for the most part. The room steward I had did not stop by to introduce himself, so I used the Crew Chat and he came by finally....he was very ...
Just returned from my NYE cruise. The Enchanted is a lovely ship. The largest I have sailed. I liked the multiple venues and the additional seating. However, it is very spread out. The crew is very hardworking but you can see the lack of staff. Long waits for drinks and food. Again, this is not a crew issue but a staffing issue. The shows were nice. I especially liked the Enrichment ...
The hubbs and I enjoyed 10 days on the Enchanted Princess recently. Here’s my thoughts! For context, We’re in our early and late 50’s respectively and this was our 14th Princess cruise. We did the 10 day Mexican Riviera on Discovery these exact same dates last year and it was probably the best cruise we had ever taken and we were excited to have a similar experience being that Enchanted and ...
We have always booked exclusively for itinerary and not the ship, but now we are going to change that to both. The itinerary was Princess Cays, St. Thomas, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Guadeloupe, and Antigua.
Antigua was such a pleasant surprise and it really stole the show for us! Such a breathtakingly beautiful island with super friendly locals. We took an excursion ...
