Not Too Much Fire With the Ice
"Princess changed manning policy as William worked solo the entire trip, have never seen this on a cruise before had always had two room attendants.Don’t know if old ship equals old passengers but we were on the younger side at early 60’s, almost felt like we on an assisted living cruise ship, lots of walkers, scooters, and canes, median age I would estimate at 80...."Read More

This cruise visited Greece,Spain ,Portugal ,Italy and 7 perfect days crossing the Atlantic. Based on reviews here we were both lowering our expectations. It was a GREAT experience! The island P is in fine shape. We love the old school classic look and feel....Yea, like me, showing her age a little but spotlessly maintained (unlike me!) The covered pool area is great and comfortable to ...

Princess cutbacks hurt

This cruise was quite telling about the degree of cutbacks Princess is implementing trying to regain financial stability at the expense of decreasing the quality of goods and services provided. At first, it did not make too much of a difference in not having any stationary or writing instrument in the cabin but then the soap bars disappeared. Now with the new medallions for the medallion class ...

Worst Cruise I've Ever Been On - Do Not Book This Ship

I booked this cruise because it went to Iceland. Little did I know that it was an "old" ship that had a myriad of problems and a staff that was clearly not putting the guest first. I've never been under house arrest, but I expect this was pretty close - wearing the tracking device, having no say in anything and having to just shut up and put up. From noise that kept me up at night (got my ...

My husband and I went on the 28 day Grand Israel/Mediterranean/Trans-Atlantic cruise last November/December. We met amazing people and had a fantastic time. Our favorites? We loved the twice-daily trivia competitions as well as the evening musical trivia. We also loved the crew-led games/entertainment. (The cruise director for our first segment was fantastic!) The food was good-to-great ...

Total chaos in dining room every nite. Reservation app didn’t work- reservations changed on us with no notice- total mess! Food mediocre at best. Room service hit & miss on whether you would actually get orders. No safe in room for valuables, broken down bed had to be replaced. New carpet shedded horribly all over clothes ea day. No vacuuming allowed to keep it under control due to hundreds ...

We chose this cruise to get from Florida to Europe. We knew the weather would be lousy and it lived up to expectations. What we didn’t expect was so much Covid on board that the masking rules were reimposed after our second port. As a result we avoided public areas and dining rooms thereafter. The food in the main dining room was ok. The food in the cafeteria was made of extremely cheap ...

Low energy cruise director, good food, lots of crowding

I had never done a transatlantic cruise before. Thought I would love the sea days. Plus side the food was at the usual high standard of Princess. I make it a practice to avoid buffet, too hard to manage my own portion control and good place to get sick. So I mostly ate in dining rooms, for was good. But the timing was. Always off. Using tne medallion to make a reservation was useless. I was. ...

Everything was cut back & the food turned the cruise into a flop

Someone in corporate decided to cut back on the food quality & menu options. The Dining Room menu was changed and striped of the better options, i.e., steak, sea bass., etc., and replaced with pasta & salmon. Dining Room was poor, and we could not hack it even three times, of our 33 days on the ship - all were flops and had to be sent back or a changed order. BOTH specially dinning, steak & ...

We thought Iceland would be impressive. It was. I wanted to see Cork. It was canceled. Ship was old, service was haphazard, crew didn’t understand or ignored requests. Club Class dining was worth it, but didn’t like condescending attitude of wait staff, their inability to pronounce names, their insincere fawning. I am not “Lady” anyone; don’t call me that. Pepper routine ridiculous, should ...

I spent a total of 34 days on this ship. 18 transatlantic to Canada, 3 stops in Iceland, Scotland, and England, then 16 days in Norway. I am an Elite Captain’s Circle Member on Princess with 27 cruises and over 250 days cruising with them. I have sailed on the Island Princess on 3 other occasions. It is old and many decks had mold or sewage smells. I was in a port side extended balcony on ...
