My wife and I had done Alaska about 15 years before and loved it so we decided to return. We flew in the night before and stayed at the Blue Horizon on Robison St. It was one of the more reasonable places to stay and there are lots of restaurants nearby and a nice walk to Stanley Park or lots of shops. We took an Uber to the ship and the embarkation took some time but the line never stopped ...
We have done UK cruises before on Princess (and have also cruised Ireland on Princess and Holland America) and this time we tried to take in some new ports and took excursions to places we hadn't seen. I was especially interested in Portland, UK where we saw the "Rude Man" and beautiful Athelhampton House and Newcastle where we visited Hadrian's Wall and a Roman fort (really interesting). I was ...
Fabulous food, amazing service, friendly staff, and good price.
Daily announcements to update what‘a happening through live DJs with important and fun news. The impressive entertainment with a great variety of performances from solo musicians, singers to team performances can meet the needs of passengers whom mostly were older seniors.
The daily itinerary was well-planned. Unfortunately ...
The staff were very friendly and willing to assist me and other guests lot during the trip. Especially the dinning hall staff (Pascaline, Kenya) was very friendly and assisted me when I needed directions.
The entertainment on the ship was inclusive.
The facilities were all very clean.
The food onboard was very diverse and delicious.
The shops carried a verity of different items. ...
I wanted to do another UK cruise go to places like Shetland and Newcastle as I’m a fan of the TV shows and also Liverpool as I had not been there. I’m just about through with long haul flights so I tried to book on the Iceland/Greenland tour but at the time (Feb), I was told all the solo cabins had been sold. I waited about 5 weeks and cabins became available again and I was able to book that tour ...
What started on an innocent sunny day in August turned out to be an adventure we will always remember. Despite being impacted by (2) Hurricanes, the fires in Maui, and multiple medical emergencies, the Princess Staff and Officers rallied to help us all make the best experiences possible. The weather to Hawaii was hot and sunny, which was really nice. The last minute decision to reroute to Kona ...
My wife and I have cruised to Hawaii four times but always in the fall or winter. We wanted to try a cruise to Hawaii in the summer. We booked a one-bedroom suite about a year before the cruise which was 16 night round-trip from Port of Los Angeles. We like round-trip from LA because it is about 45 minutes from our home. We have cruised Princess 11 times prior to this cruise and have always ...
We recently came back from a 10-day Canada/New England cruise from Quebec City to NYC aboard the Caribbean Princess. While the ship-related aspects were quite good—at times excellent—the itinerary itself made it perhaps our favorite cruises thus far and should be on everyone’s cruise bucket list. Plenty of details about both the ship and the ports in this long review.
Background: My wife ...
We had a great cruise on this ship. I’d been really concerned after reading lots of negative/neutral reviews but our experience was overall great. The crew make this ship, they are all so friendly and helpful and genuinely want to make your cruise great. The kids club programme for 8-12s was excellent, the staff were high energy and fun. Lots of interesting content that my daughter dipped in and ...
Chose this cruise for overview of British Isles. Port call at Le Havre France was a plus as it allowed for excursions to Normandy Beaches or Giverny to see Monet's Garden.
Crew was superb. Excellent Cabin Steward, Bar and Restaurant Staff. Service was always friendly and timely.
Bars were enjoyable spaces and nice places to hang out. Especially liked the Good Spirits bar at atrium ...
