We chose this cruise as it was doing 2 weeks without a trip back to Florida, it wasn't a bad choice. We travelled as a group of 9 which we do every couple of years.
I know the Emerald Princess is one of the older ships and it is showing its age but we had a nice time.
Cabin
We had an inside cabin on Baja deck and was looked after by Christina. I think we had 1 of the refurbished cabins ...
We’ve been on several Princess cruises and we can see things are on the decline. Service was not as good as what it was before. Most times while eating in the buffet we had to get our own beverages, rarely did anyone ever offer and when they did we waited 15-20 minutes for the drinks to arrive.
The food selection and quality has declined. The buffet also closes and hour earlier than what ...
This was our first Princess Cruise, a 14 day Circle the Caribbean from Ft. Lauderdale in March, 2023. The Emerald Princess and crew were great. But Princess Cruises is so poor and irresponsible with their accounting we won't be sailing with Princess again. Just too risky and they have proven untrustworthy with out money even when they put things in writing. (Details below).
The cruise itself ...
This was a trip for a family group of nine, brothers and sisters and partners in 50's / 60's.
Previously, we have sailed with both P&O and more with Celebrity. All past experience was pre-covid.
Generally, we enjoyed the trip, which isn't exactly surprising as it's no hardship being on a cruise around the Caribbean. However, this, our first experience of Princess, left a little to be ...
I'm an Elite passenger with Princess and have been a strong supporter of the line for many years. I chose the cruise mainly due to the dates as it was one of only a few offerings in March for 10+ days.
Though the staff couldn't have been nicer, nor more professional, the ship itself suffers from some areas of neglect and Princess would be wise to make the needed upgrades. Just to name a few, ...
We chose this cruise because it was a fairly new ship and we liked the itinerary. I had not been on a Princess cruise since 2013 and it was a little disappointing to me. First of all the shows were few and far between. Some of the other talent on the ship was not good. The cruise director was great and kept things running smoothly.
We were unable to dock in Aruba and Bonaire , but enjoyed ...
We just returned from a wk long eastern Caribbean on Sky Feb 10th sailing. This ship was a full ship and from what we heard was over sold.
We sailed on the Ruby Princess last year and loved our holiday so much that we convinced our family to sail with Princess vs Celebrity to celebrate my dads big birthday. One couple has sailed with Celebrity. One couple were new to cruising and we have only ...
Hi going on a Panama Cruise is quite limiting in the choice of ships you can take.
We did chose a mini balcony suite on the Port side of the Carribbean Princess to see the best views of the canal crossing. They said the boat was renovated but it certainly could use another renovation, its just not modern or have any notable modern rooms or artwork. The balcony advertised to be much larger is ...
This was a B-B and is our 16 Princess cruise since the “Pause” (we were also on the Sky for three weeks in November/December 2022). We have also taken four other cruises on other cruise lines post pandemic and many more prior to the pandemic.
The staff is very friendly and accommodating, but still not enough of them. This is causing the staff to be spread thinly across all departments, ...
My wife and I have taken 35 plus cruises, the majority of which have been in the Caribbean region, but several in Europe too. We are Seniors who usually choose to travel alone. This was only our second cruise with Princess. The majority of our cruises have been with Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, and HAL. We took two back to back cruises, starting on 2/18/2023 for the Western and Eastern ...
