Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

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 ...

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 ...

This was an impromptu cruise for a few nights away. We booked an inside cabin for three people for a good price we felt and were surprised two weeks before sailing to receive a balcony upgrade for free (very nice). As a result, we upgraded our onboard package to the promoted Premier Package (gratuities incl, free wifi up to four devices, two speciality dining evenings, drinks up to $20). We ...

My wife and I love the Transatlantic cruises. After a half dozen ports at the beginning of the cruise, you have almost a week to sit back and relax. The Emerald Princess was just refurbished and everything was in tip top shape. All of the staff was extremely friendly and did a great job. Princess continues to make improvements every time we cruise with them, this cruise was no exception as the ...

The biggest reason I chose this 16-day cruise from Southampton to Fort Lauderdale was the list of 6 intermediate ports of call -- I had never been to any of them! The ports were Cherbourg, Le Verdon, Bilbao, A Coruna, Lisbon, and Ponta Delgada. I was very grateful that I had booked a Princess transfer from London Heathrow Airport to the ship, as the few days before the cruise was sailing it ...

We were on the Sky Princess Inaugural Cruise in October 2019 from Athens to Barcelona, so we felt like we were coming back home. The Ship looks just as new as the first trip. We arrived at London Heathrow about 8 A.M. on Saturday, the day of departure. We had purchased a Princess transfer to the Ship. The Princess representatives gathered a group of us, and we had a wait of about 40 minutes. ...

in regards to the review some of it is from me , some is from my husband Cabin C 426 Mini Suite ( MA) Sky 10/29-11/12 Southampton UK - Cherbourg FR - Lisbon PT - Azores - Ft Lauderdale USA We arrived in London to find that our pre-cruise transfer was not there. We approached the lovely people from another line. They were kind enough to reach out to the known contact for Princess. ...

Island Princess provided us with the classic experience we look for in a ship. No waterslides, bumper cars, or go-kart tracks. Of course, this itinerary attracted quite an elderly group of guests anxious to complete their bucket list by searching for the Northern Lights. The weather was what we were prepared for as it was mostly overcast, rainy, and windy. The scenery was spectacular in the ...

This is the 2nd time we have been on the Sky Princess. This cruise was amazing. The easiest and fastest embarkation we've ever done and this was our 21st cruise. Superb cabin and cabin steward. Food was excellant, in the buffet, in the dining rooms and in the speciality dining venues. Ports of call were stunning. Getting on and off the ship for these ports of calls was so well organised. Never had ...

A transatlantic has always been on my bucket list, and after two cancellations, finally it happened. The ship is beautiful in subdued pale blue and tan. This crossing was 2/3 full so never crowded anywhere. We ate at one of the main dining rooms every night except one night when we had the Ultimate Balcony Dinner. Although we had reservations at the Amalfi, staff was always accommodating when and ...
