With so many older and smaller ships falling victim to the swinging axe during and after the pandemic, I wanted to fulfil a lifetime wish to see the original Panama Canal before the cruise ships all got too big to fit. This was the opportunity.
It was actually the final leg of the annual Round-the-World cruise, and so the ship was only about half full (if that). I could see that many of the ...
Gave high marks for the ship and the cruise in general. The service was great, I always found the crew friendly, smiling and helpful. My cabin steward was outstanding and I also found my favorite bar steward. In the main dining room they were mostly great.... there will always be some who are better than others, but I was always aware of how hard these people work and long days. It's pretty ...
Overall I had a wonderful cruise. The weather was perfect except for one really hot day. The ports were as expected. Nice and relaxing with no major sites to see but good places to just enjoy. The ship is definitely showing some age but the smaller size is wonderful. I stayed in C2**. I loved staying on the 10th floor. Perfect location for anything I wanted to do. The gym opened at 6 am ...
Back in the early 2000s, I got hooked on cruising like a fish on a line. But then I took a break for a while. Fast forward to April 2023, and I'm back at it again with my third cruise in the last two years, this time aboard the Regal Princess - my very first trip with Princess Cruises. As a solo cruiser, I sailed with Virgin Voyages in December 2021, and then again in December 2022 on HAL's Nieuw ...
We chose this ship due to the high prices on cruises these days. Princess was reasonable not the cheapest but okay for the ports.
Ship is older but clean. Many areas of deferred Maintenace while it listed as being refurbed it needs another one soon and much updating. I did enjoy my cruise mostly because the crew was so fun to be around. The entertainment seemed board with their jobs. the ...
I planned this cruise when I was 14 and he was 15. When he asked me to go steady…I said “Yes” and if we are still together at 50 years we are going on “The Love Boat”. Just back from the Regal Princess! Dreams do come true!
Embarkation was a breeze. Our cabin L2** on the Lido deck was ideal! Just around the corner from the buffet, pools and activities! Our steward Shanal kept everything in top ...
I have been on several cruises in the Caribbean but I chose this one for the itinerary of Panama Canal and South America.
I was pleasantly surprised how fast embarkation process was, no wonder since I spent hours downloading all necessary documents and photos on the Princess App beforehand. My only complaint there was no wi-fi at the Terminal at Ft. Lauderdale so I could not open the App. I ...
We sailed the Grand Princess in October 2022 and it was a pretty poor cruise. When we discovered that another Princess cruise, aboard the Enchanted, was the only one that fit our timeline this spring, I didn’t expect much out of it. I am happy to say that I was wrong.
The Grand had that ‘Motel 6,’ tired look and feeling, Enchanted was one of the better looking ships I have sailed. There were ...
We chose this ship to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We booked a penthouse suite.
Overall, the cruise ship is beautiful and the staff are well trained, vey polite, and seem to be really happy to bon the ship and provide a great customer service. When you book a suite you also get a concierge lounge which was a game changer for us. Kevin, Alexandria, Fiorella were all amazing and truly made our ...
We are Elite members having sailed with Princess many, many times. The layout of the new ship was familiar. The staff attentive. Our suite in the Penthouse category was comfortable enough but could have been much larger in the balcony space. The 2 attendants were wonderful: never missed a beat. The concierge in the Suite Concierge Lounge was also extremely helpful. What was most disappointing ...
