Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

I had been on two previous cruises with Princess and despite getting the norovirus on the first cruise I still enjoyed it and had a great time on the second cruise. So we decided to go on sky princess in September in a junior suite. We were very excited and looking forward to it. I've only just had chance to do this review as I've been extremely ill and in hospital so please excuse the ...

This cruise was a long time in planning, then a 3 year delay due to COVID to be a bit of a disappointment. This ship needs to be refreshed, stained mirrors, broken lamps.in lounges and worn upholstery. Dining rooms are chaotic at best, most night we were seated at tables that were not set. Several time what was listed on the menu and what was served were not the same: Roast pork came as ...

I have already reviewed the Sky Princess previously. For this review I wanted to concentrate on any differences we noticed since we last cruised on her in 2022. Sadly, it was obvious that a number of further cutbacks and / or new charges had been introduced. We are Brits, in our 60's and are Elite members of the Captains circle. Many of the associated loyalty benefits have simply disappeared or ...

Timing and a great itinerary leaving from Southampton made me choose The Island Princess. I came on it solo and am a ballroom dancer and was hoping to meet other like-minded people. Sadly I have to say I have been very very disappointed and what could have been a great cruise has come out, in my opinion, below all the other four cruise lines, Cunard, Fred Olsen, MSC and P&O, I have travelled ...

t I travel with my partner Janet. We chose this cruise for the itinerary. 33 days with ports in Iceland and Norway. The Island Princess seemed to be the perfect way to visit the northern ports and June the perfect season to do so. This is not the review I had hoped to write when we made the reservations. The disappointment was not with the itinerary, but the ship. No, not even the ship, but ...

Several things were done well on this cruise but the worn out bed and the flavorless, poorly cooked food spoiled the experience. Embarkation in Southampton was a breeze. The ship public spaces are lovely and kept spotless. The crew were are quite polite. The bed was very poor, so a good night's sleep was not to be had. The food in the main dining room was undercooked (pasta), overcooked ...

We’ve done 4 Princess cruises in the past year with very good results, but this was an odd exception. We chose the cruise because of its attractive British Isles itinerary, and the itinerary was indeed very good. But unlike other Princess cruises, the food in the main dining rooms were of poor quality with very limited selection. The service was slow and sloppy, and the maitre d’s seldom smiled or ...

This review is for the 33 day cruise, not just the part the CC system would recognize. I chose this cruise because it went to a much desired destination: Longyearbyen (Svalbard), an island north of the Arctic Circle belonging to Norway. I booked in February when I saw I could book a 33 day cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale to Southhampton to Norway and back to Southhampton. Not long after final ...

While the Princess Regal is a beautiful clean ship with above standard cabin rooms, it completely crashes on guest services. The Medallion feature is the best feature. It makes travel on and off quick, it makes paying for specialty drinks quick and makes finding your group onboard simple. However I purchased the bracelet at an extra fee for my daughter but at check in her bag was empty, The ...

We were not pleased with our cruise and thought maybe we had a one-off experience but after reading through some of the other reviews it seems others expressed similarities on how we felt about our cruise experience. Others had a different sail date and location so appears the experience is not limited to our specific cruise. I have been on 5 cruises (including the one i am writing the review ...
