Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

Embarkation was the quickest we have ever had at Southampton, just 30 mins from dropping the car off till we got in the cabin.Ours was a normal balcony cabin, but only had one chair in the cabin. The ship itself needs a lot of paint work done outside, and inside feels dark and dated. Some areas are taken up by a large picture gallery and photo displays, which would be better used for passenger ...

I have actually sailed on the Sky Princess twice this year, and waited until after the second cruise to write a review. I wasn't sure if I was just getting a poor experience due to my first time being in the Easter holiday, or if it was just this particular ship! I've sailed with Princess several times over the years, and have always found them to be excellent in terms of service, food, ...

My wife and I have hither- to been loyal (Platinum level) Princess Cruisers and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience from both the UK and The USA. This ship is both comfortable and beautiful - the biggest we have sailed on in over 15 years cruising. Embarkation was relatively smooth at 12.30pm but we missed lunch in the Club Class Dining Room as nobody told us it was open on boarding and we ...

Ship launched end of last year. It looked like it had not been finished. The atrium was bare, no decorations or flowers. The sun areas had no statues or fountains, no ornamental features. Unlike other ships it didn’t have any nice paintings around the ship. Basically it looked bare and unfinished. Staff shortages everywhere, trying to get a drink in a bar was impossible, the staff serving food in ...

We chose this cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary and visit Ireland and Scotland for the first time. Our anniversary was never recognized. We told our Cruise consultant and put it in the medallion app. Our dining experience was less than favorable. We dined in the main dining room the first two nights. Dinner took two and a half hours each time. We then decided to stop dining here after ...

We chose this cruise for the destinations. However, we barely had time to experience the larger ports. We missed Dublin entirely, because bad weather curtailed the tender operations. There were only a few hours in Edinburgh. It would be better to skip some of the smaller ports entirely (Saint Peter Port, and Kirkwall), and instead, spend two days in the larger destinations. There were many ...

The ship has returned to full capacity without the trained crew to cope. Many guests reported major problems in securing a table in the restaurants on the first night. Room service is a joke, If you like cold coffee delivered over an hour after you ordered it, then this is a perfect service. If you want hot food or drink then forget it. The medallion app is hit and miss. If you order ...

Ship and staff fantastic Food excellent Room excellent However - Not sure what "PLANK" runs customer services. I had the broadband, tips, drinks etc package x 2, although my partner doesn't drink and I only had a few wines each evening. That's an extra - Upgrade to Princess Plus for £40 per person per day and receive below Plus Beverage Package Wi-Fi ...

My family and I originally booked this cruise in 2019 to sail in 2020. Due to the pandemic, we kept getting pushed back. Finally, in 2022 we were able to sail! We chose the Crown because it was going to Alaska and seemed to be a more intimate ship. Before the pandemic, the Crown was supposed to receive repairs in dry-dock but it does not appear that it happened. Even before our embarkation, ...

We chose this cruise based on the ports of call, excursions and cruise line reputation. Our travel group had multiple excursions planned with the hope of being off the boat a significant amount of the time. We were so disappointed. The Crown Princess is a very sick ship - the vessel was running at a reduced speed so we missed two ports (with excursions) and only had a few hours in a third ...
