It was a 15 days cruise to some places we'd never been. We traveled with another couple and we all decided this would be a nice cruise.
We will never take the Island Princess again, it is quite old, has added too many rooms for the facilities (gym, all dining rooms, loungers, pool), everything is overwhelmed by the number of guests. I've never been on a ship that had an old cabbage (or worse) ...
Just back from a week long Western Caribbean cruise with the Regal Princess. Had a great week because of the company, there were six of us all there for Spring Break from California. Great times and memories with the girls, but some not so happy thoughts about the ship.
Embarkation was delayed due to Coast Guard inspection and we had been given notification of that. The employees both at the ...
The Panama canal was on our bucket list and there are not a lot of cruise lines that offer this cruise. The canal is awesome and such a marvel to see and go through, and the ship was nice, but nothing special. We were very disappointed that during our early morning hours (7am) venture through the canal we were standing at the back of the ship in the Sanctuary to take pictures of the canal and even ...
I chose this cruise for the ports visited and the slightly longer length than my usual week.
As a solo traveller who will not cruise without the luxury of a balcony it is an expensive holiday due to the 100% surcharge for single occupancy. However , that is my choice.
I loved the fact that this cruise departed on a Tuesday - no crowds at the port for embarkation and this aso made a ...
Getting on and off of the ship was easy with little delay or confusion.
Itinerary was the prime motivator along with a relatively recent renovation. Renovation did not mean that the storage drawer tracks were in good working order however. The wear and tear was evident though overall service, Princess Entertainment, the International Cafe (food and service) and the dining room service were ...
Response from TaylorW, Social Team, Princess Cruises
Hi RussAL, thank you for your feedback regarding your recent Caribbean Princess voyage. We will share your concerns with our team. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you aboard again!...
This was our third cruise (with Princess or any other line). The other two cruises were in 2011 and 2012, on the Ruby and the Crown. We didn’t enjoy this one as much as we’d hoped, and I’m not sure why.
Embarkation and disembarkation went very well. We purchased airport transfers both ways, through Princess, and it went seamlessly. Our flight landed in Fort Lauderdale at just after 10am and we ...
I chose the cruise because we wanted to go to Trinidad. It was pretty much normal/average for a cruise. Didn't see anything REAL special. It was short on entertainment in the evenings. Only 3 production shows in 14 days - the other nights it was karaoke, comedians, etc. Not bad, just not above average. Their production numbers were AWESOME, they just needed more of them. They also ...
Activities are very dull. Many did not even happen. Very limited sport activities. This is a cruise for people content with doing nothing for a week. Example of an activity= virtual shooting gallery- Shoot a rifle at a video screen several times, up to 5 passengers one at a time= extremely dull and can have more fun at a video arcade for a quarter! OR A make-up seminar where they attempt to ...
Ports of call. Included places we had not been. Overall length of stays in some of these ports was inadequate. We may be somewhat biased, but we consider the ports of call our destinations as opposed to the ship as a destination. Our trip was better than our last Princess cruise which had over 5000 passengers, with crowding, long lines and waits for everything including elevators. This ship had ...
We always wanted to try a 14 day cruise as well as see the Caribbean. The ship was clean and well appointed. Vines was a favorite meeting place for our group. The Tapas and Sushi were fresh and the Wine choices were spectacular. The service staff were awesome and always friendly and smiling. They could not have done any better to make our trip special. The food on the ship was mediocre at best. We ...
