Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

We are Elite passengers with Princess having completed nearly 20 cruises. Princess do go that bit extra that's for sure, rarely have we had a grumpy crew member, all have been helpful, polite and cheerful. The Medalion worked faultlessly for us and it was great to order a drink from ANYWHERE on the ship and hey presto, it comes direct to you. Pre cruising Covid Testing at Southampton was very ...

Our room was beautiful and very comfortable albeit a little small. The bathroom was also small but the shower was powerful. We were midship A441, near the lifts. No noise at all and very convenient. We tried the specialty restaurants Crown Grill and Sabatini’s. The service in both was outstanding. We particularly like Sabatini’s. The steaks in Crown Grill were very tasty. The food in the MDR ...

Testing and embarkation were well organized, but for the wait for me to get my negative result. My wife’s came through quickly, but 20 mins later I still didn’t have mine (I never got it) and had to ask the staff to check. I was given a paper pass to allow me to board. When we booked in March, only 1000 passengers were allowed, but come departure 2500+ made it a lively ship, with a lot of ...

If you want to get cruising again - do it. Its a safe way to cruise There was a small amount or doubt, its not the Caribbean (our usual choice for cruising) and the weather in the UK can be questionable. However the sun shone - a lot. At times you could have been anywhere in the world. Its clear the ship can chase the sun. There are no ports of call and no real agenda so I guess they can go ...

This was our first cruise in 22 years, and our first time on Princess. We only booked this about 3 weeks ago when one of those tempting emails came through from that “top 20 deals of the week” company. Our drive from Northamptonshire to Southampton was uneventful, bar a detour through Winchester to avoid a nasty accident on the M3. With the SatNav armed with the postcode for dock 4/5, it was ...

After reading some of the reviews rergarding Regal Princess was not sure what to expect What a surprise eveything went like a dream From arrival to have Covid test 50 min later we were in cabin no problem Getting a drink in any bar was no problem as was getting a table for dinner never more than a 2-3 min wait Entertainment was very good with a wide range of venues I fact a very ...

This was our 3rd Cruise, two of which were only 7 days each.Our last one being with Princess in Alaska. We were happy then so tried them again. This time it was 37 days at sea on the Sapphire Princess ship from Southampton to Singapore. Before we booked we wondered if it was too long a cruise and also could we cope with the 6 days in a row at sea? This cruise was AMAZING!! its itinerary ...

The highlight of this cruise was seeing the northern lights above the Arctic circle in Alta Norway. Spectacular show on our second day of port stay so we were fortunate to see the northern lights. Our other stops in Norway were Alesund, Tromoso and Stavanger. This was the last cruise ship to all these ports for the season and we were the only ship in port. As a result shore offerings were ...

The main purpose of this cruise....the Northern Lights. Spoiler alert.....we saw them! Having spent a couple of nights in London and Southampton pre cruise the day finally arrived to board the Sapphire. Embarkation was delayed due to a satellite needing replacing on the ship but after a few hours waiting in relative comfort we were onboard. I had an obstructed window E212, a step up from ...

We have sailed with Princess several times, and this year tried a longer cruise (we normally do 14 nights). We haven't been on Sapphire before, but we knew we would love the whole experience since we had two fantastic cruises on both Emerald and Crown Princess. Embarkation was quick and easy as usual. We had a little wait at Southampton as we arrived at the port slightly too early. Security ...
