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 ...
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 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 ...
First cruise post Covid. Normally I cruise regularly on both Holland America and Princess. I deliberately kept my expectations low and given the large numbers of negative comments and complaints I noted prior to departure I wasn't expecting a really great cruise....
I was very pleasantly surprised. Embarkation in Honolulu was the quickest ever.... I arrived at the pier at 11am picked up my ...
I love the Pacific Ocean, the islands and the Pacific People. I like a lot of sea days as shore visits take a toll of my damaged feet. I'm a loyal Princess cruiser and also have been on the Coral Princess before and love the smaller ship with the amazing quirky decor.
In terms of the staff - they were all so lovely and friendly. I've added a photo to show that we are not the average couple, ...
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 ...
I've been sailing for 22 years mostly on Carnival and Royal. The trip was outstanding in all categories from ship to cabin Stewart. Food was actually a little better than Royal and Carnival. Ship center was way to small, the Piaza. The excursion were very good and met our needs. It must be noted that there were many elderly and handy cap on this ship. Not many youth. At time the elderly had ...
I wanted to cross the Pacific Ocean, and this was a wonderful way to do it! The ship was only 1/3 full most of the way, so it was very laid back and relaxed, with plenty of room and no queues for anything. The food was great - even the buffet was better than I was expecting. The main dining room meals were beautiful, and the specialty dining meals in the Crown Grill were also good, but not a ...
We embarked in the World Cruise Port in San Pedro, California. It was very fast and easy which was great. We had received our Medallions by mail, so it made it quick. I had bought 4 airtag wristbands online and they fit the Medallions perfectly.
The Crown is not one of the new Princess ships, but she is wonderful just the same. Everything was kept clean and polished, and I enjoyed the wood and ...
