Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

Loved the Regal Princess with some qualifications. The ship is beautiful and very well kept. I don’t know when they did all the maintenance but it was never intrusive and everything sparkled. Our room steward kept our cabin in good order all the time. Embarkation was swift however we embarked at 10:30 and I understand that later there was a fire alarm that held embarkation up. We couldn’t ...

Our British Isle Cruise ranged from the good to very good, and in important ways, excellent. This was our first cruise on a Princess ship in over a decade, due to prior frustrations and disappointments with service. We disembarked from this cruise having had a thoroughly positive travel experience. Embarkation at Southampton was interesting because just after we completed our check-in, a ...

After looking at a few options for Iceland land tours, this cruise stood out for the 4 Iceland ports. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to 3 of them which put this cruise in the very disappointing category. It was tough to keep up with the changes... 1. Isafjordur was cancelled and we were going to Seydisfjordur - all excursions for Isafjordur cancelled. No excursions booked for ...

The start of the process for booking the cruise went really well, moreover to be able to book the excursion with Princess on line was a great help. The new Ocean app makes it so much easier, I was able to register all my details, book the medallion which you could have posted or pick it up at port. On the app you are able to add all of your details to board the ship, also allows you to start ...

It was my dream to see the dancing lights of Norway and Iceland. Therefore, this was my birthday and anniversary trip. The first week was wonderful. Sky Princess is well maintained and a lovely ship with great service, friendly and efficient staff. We had a full suite which was perfect for a two-week cruise. Having free laundry and pressing service was a real plus so it is not necessary to ...

We drove from Ickenham to Southampton and parked our car in Triangle car park from where we took a taxi to the Mayflower terminal. The cost of the car park including return taxi transfer to terminal was half the price Princess approved car parking was charging. We were at the terminal by 11.30am. Check in was very swift and once we got our medallions, we were onboard the beautiful Sky Princess ...

I had sailed on the Sky Princess last June and found the service to be poor to average only - short staffed and some lack of training was evident. But this time, although the ship was at capacity, service much improved, and the food better quality (and, at last, hotter!). Only saw one show and spent all my time in the evenings in the jazz club, Take 5. Jazz trio out of this world, you would pay a ...

14 Day Cruise ended up with 8 days at sea unable to get into 3 ports out of 4. The ship was so crowded trying to find somewhere to sit was impossible as the upper deck was closed due very cold temperatures and high winds. These new ships are a joke all about creating small cabins to get more people on board this was my 12th cruise with Princess and probably my last. In future I will cruise on ...

The itinerary was the main reason for choosing this ship but, due to potential storms in the north Atlantic, our itinerary was totally changed and we missed the 3 main ports in Iceland which was a major disappointment. We enjoyed the Norwegian fjords but felt Alaska was much more scenic. We only got to visit Isafjordur and Seydisfjordur in Iceland; nice little ports to have a wander around but ...

I initially chose this cruise because of Reykjavik and a possibility of a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Because of bad weather, the Itinerary changed and we cannot go to that port. Ports visited in Iceland really had nothing much to see and do, felt like it was a waste of my time visiting the two ports in Iceland. Dining room service and food is great however the Buffet is scary, many ...
