Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

We booked this cruise as an excellent late deal price as we had never been to five of the ports of call in the British Isles despite having cruised worldwide for many years. We were pleasantly surprised that Princess has managed to maintain their usual high standards apart from allowing people in shorts into the dining rooms on casual night dining! As Captains Circle Elite passengers we also ...

Just returned from a two week cruise on the Crown Princess visiting Norway, the North cape and Longyearbyen. The land of the midnight sun, we had daylight for 8 continual days We had state room L209 on deck 15. A good location for the pools and the front viewing area, the buffet restaurant etc. The downside is you need to use the lift as the stairs are exhausting also being at the front of the ...

We were on the July 8-23, 2013 British Isles trip on board the beautiful Caribbean Princess. This was our third time on this ship and it is my favorite. We had absolutely no problems on this cruise with the ship or crew. The weather for our trip was incredible. It was very warm for almost the entire trip. Cobb, Dublin and Paris use Euros and all other places use the British Pound. I hope you find ...

After 4 days in London with constant sightseeing, we transferred via a Princess bus to Southampton. Bus transfer a bit chaotic but passable. Embarkation and later disembarkation at terminal good. We have been on this very ship 4 times now and each time we very very satisfied. The food was very good, if not excellent, although we have seen the more expensive items disappear from the menu over the ...

Background: We arrived in London on 2 June for a little sightseeing before our cruise set sail on 5 June 2013. There were eight of us in our group and we took the opportunity to visit London, Windsor Castle, and Stonehenge. We had pre-arranged transportation for pick-up at Heathrow and at our Hotel for the trip to Southampton. Transportation requirements took place without a hitch Southampton ...

Joined the ship on Friday the day after Kate, the Princess of Cambridge had named the ship and many of the crew were happy to share their excitement of seeing her on-board.The public spaces are certainly a well thought out and a definite improvement on the rest of the fleet, we particularly liked the Seafood Bar, good value and a real treat. The entertainment is better planned than previously on ...

This was our sixth Princess Cruise. Booking last minute we found an incredible bargain ($1329 for a $3799 balcony; interior cabins were sold for $599). We are Platinum members, and hence boarding was very easy, as was disembarkation. Our Cabin was R718, aft on the ship, but perfectly comfortable and convenient. Good things: We've always had pleasant experiences with crew, dining hall staff, ...

This was a last minute cruise purchase. We had and have so many various commitments that any holiday had to be taken within a short three week window so, quite honestly, we would have gone anywhere (well, nearly anywhere) if there was immediate availability and an acceptable price. Find, agree, book, pack and arrive at Southampton for embarkation, all within five days. It was the best deal we ...

I felt that after reading the reviews given so far it didn't paint a proper image of the Royal Princess for future cruisers, so I will give an accurate overview from an experienced cruiser who normally travels with Princess, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. Overview:-Stunning ship from outside and interior. The atrium must be the the most impressive centre point of any ship I have seen and princess ...

This was our second cruise with Princess. Two years ago we were on the "Ruby" in the Mediterranean. We are two young active senior citizens 62, and 65 from CT. Caribbean Princess is Ruby's sister ship, only a bit older. So we had no surprises when we booked. The ship is beautiful, but some of the furniture is worn and faded. Some carpeting has been replaced while some has not. Some bathroom tile ...
