Princess Hawaii Cruise Reviews

This cruise was simply outstanding. There are always a few caveats, and I will detail these below. I will categorise the review into several headings. Partially obstructed balcony Deck 15. Very forward facing sea at front. No obstruction. Delightful. Clean, modern, large and quiet. Food: excellent in MDR and Wold Buffet. Occasionally, a bit cold in MDR but always tasty and fresh but ...

My third time sailing on the Discovery- I absolutely adore this ship and its crew is absolutely amazing. The crew remains above excellent- they remembered me from previous sailings and made me feel incredibly welcome and at home-and my stateroom- a premium ocean view- was beyond amazing! However, although my overall experience was amazing, there were a few items that detracted from my overall ...

We bid on an upgrade and were successful. Initially we were in a penthouse suite on Riviera deck. Room was too noisy to sleep so we requested a move. We were moved to Aloha deck at the back of the ship and unfortunately it was actually worse than the previous room. The guest service supervisor was rude and dismissive and told us we expected too much and should have spent more money on a better ...

I chose this cruise because it was a good value for the money I paid for it. It was my 2nd time on Princess. I would cruise with this line again but it is not my favorite. The shore excursion to the Waimea Canyon in Kaua'i was awesome, as was the one to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in Hilo which included a stop at the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory. There were too many nights in which I ...

Greetings from aboard the Crown Princess! We are on a 16-day cruise to Hawaii, RT San Francisco. I boarded the ship with great trepidation. The Cruise Critic comments about the ship and the itinerary caused me to think that perhaps we'd made a grave error in booking this cruise. However, that angst was put to rest the first day. While more traditional (vs. glitzy) in appearance, the ship ...

We chose the Half World cruise as a way to escape winter and to get to the Arab countries where we wanted to tour. Cruising is always pleasant and so my rating is relative to other cruises we've done. Generally the food was ok (what you might expect at Denny's) and the ride not to bad (for us) even when the seas were rough. But nothing was impressive and the entertainment was VERY lame. You can ...

Friends were traveling on this cruise ship and I was invited to go with them. They had a balcony room on 14. I had to pay double for a room because I was considered "traveling solo!" Public restrooms were horrible! Water was leaking from a light fixture in the ceiling while we were waiting for our room. That was a sign of things to come. Several leaks throughout the ship. Don't ...

We were on the Discovery for 15 days. A wonderful time. The cruise director Cole was the very best So friendly and funny. His boss the entertainment officer was so nice. His hole entertainment people were nice and funny The food was plentiful and good/ Great lemon cookies. Cabin was nice and had balcony door open all the time.The fellow passengers seemed also to to be having great ...

As a cruiser who has cruised with Princess for years now, I was not happy with recent changes they have made to their cruises which downgrade the experience (like turning the excellent casual restaurant Gigis/Alfredos into a added cost venue) so I was bracing myself on my recent cruise to Hawaii, thinking that I might have to find another go-to cruise line. I was happy to find that although there ...

We thought this would be a wonderful, relaxing cruise. Embarcation took hours, even with a designated time to arrive. I had expected that it might be a little cold or rough going out of the Golden Gate, which it was, but it only got worse. I had tried to find out what a Pacific crossing would be like, but I couldn't find any information. It was cold and very rough, day after day. The ship ...
