Well to begin with I had the Plus package and still had to pay extra for my wine. Princess is nickel and dimming everyone, it is supposed to be about the experience and there wasn't any. The wine I had to pay more for is not a premium wine. In Canada Cloudy Bay is $21.95 a bottle on sale for $19.95. They charged me 2.75 more after buying a Plus drink package. They said I could buy a bottle for ...
Wanted a two week cruise in warm weather. This was back to back 7 days each Eastern then Western Carribean. A number of cruisers did this on the ship. Sailed from FLL Eastbound and returned to FLL. Got off the ship and got right back on - just turnaround, no unpacking (for those wondering.) Then Westbound and back to FLL. No issues with embarkation or disembarkation.

It has been several years since we sailed with Princess and the changes are significant. The food quality used to be outstanding and now very average. Cold potatoes on the breakfast buffet and dried out lasagna in the dining room. Menu options just don't seem to go together -- at least for us. I will say the Alfredo was as delicious as ever. What annoyed us most is the free style dining which ...
This was my first and most likely last Princess cruise. They did not honor the items in Princess Plus package I purchased when booking the cruise through a travel agent a year ago. Guest service staff response was “that was the old package”. How was I supposed to know it changed? Guess they never heard of “grandfathering”!
The room steward was wonderful as was the Amalfi dining room staff. My ...
This is a newer beautiful ship with a great crew and well laid out entertainment areas. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the production shows. This is a cruise that appeals to mature passengers. There are no water slides…
Unfortunately, we had to skip 2 ports. That makes for more at sea days and a disappointment in terms of missing planned shore excursions. I get it - safety first. ...
Onboarding process over 2 hours due to security breach. Many of us older folks had no place to sit and both standing and making it to the floor were both bad choices. Prior to the cruise I booked dinner reservations at specific times, specific days, and specific locations using the Princess app. On our first night's dinner we were scolded by the receptionist for being late. I asked her, what do ...
This was our 2nd cruise with Princess. Princess Sky and Caribbean Princess cruise ships are very simmular Feb 2024 we cruised to islands we haven't been to yet. Boarding was a breeze with information we were able to do ahead of time. The on board entertainment was great. Especially enjoyed Ashley-Amber's performace. Really like the medallions vs room keys. We enjoy the smaller ships as it is ...
Went on this cruise as my sister-in-law lives in the area and wanted us to go on another cruse with them. Unfortunately we have really only had marginal to poor success with Princess Cruises. First let me start that we were both gold medallion suite guests as well as having purchased the Premier Package. We arrived at the port at our assigned times yet had a 45 min wait to get into the terminal. ...
Had to skip two out of four ports due to dangerous winds in the area. Oh well! We took this cruise mainly to enjoy the ship as we have seen most of the Caribbean islands in the past. And we did have a good time, considering.
Embarkation was smooth and we were in the buffet to start the overeating tour once again. This was our 26th. cruise and we feel we know the ropes. We have sailed ...
This was my 19th cruise. It all began with plumbing problems on my 2022 cruise on Island Princess. I had received a good will discount that had to be applied within a year. I decided to book a 14 night B2B cruise (from 1/28 - 2/11/2024) on this ship because I liked the itinerary and the ports would be new for me. This review is about the second week.

• Given that the Caribbean ...
