Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise for the itinerary following a princess land tour of Ireland (which was fabulous). Overall, the ports were excellent but there were too many water shuttle ports which created issues for those with disabilities. Several of the water shuttles broke down so we spent one to two hours waiting In the public areas to board one. The shore excursions we took were excellent and ...

The internet was awful. We need the internet to be able to log into our business, iMessage, and call over IP. The service was so poor that we weren't able to connect to our business and the messaging quit working after a few days. We sailed on this ship a few years ago and didn't have this problem. We've also been on many other ships on several cruise lines and not had this problem. The ...

In the past we have used P&O and Cunard and have always been happy with our cruises. Princess we were told were a cut above so we decided to give them a try. We chose this British Isles cruise as a tester post pandemic. For that purpose it worked out fine. As for the cruise itself it was okish. The medallion app was a pain from start to finish. Almost everything was done via the app so you couldnt ...

This was my first cruise with princess and overall we really enjoyed it. Cabin - we were upgraded from an inside to a balcony prior to the sail date. This was also an accessible cabins so a really good size with a wet room, no complaints about the cabin. Cabin steward was lovely. Food - Again no complaints plenty of choice, especially limestone in the buffet staff put portions out. ...

This was our 7th Cruise since June 2021, we are Elite Loyalty with Princess and were staying in a top suite, so we expected to embark very smoothly and thats when some problems commenced. We have sailed to the Norwegian Fijords quite a few times before, it is one of the most beautiful cruises you can experience, but we had always cruised previously in June, when it is a bit warmer. The ...

Embarkation was delayed due to several cases of coronavirus on the previous transatlantic cruise so they had a deep clean. We arrived early and had seats in the terminal but once the lounge was full they stopped checking passengers in and some waited 3 hours outside the terminal building! We were fast tracked as soon as embarkation started and enjoying lunch at the International café at 1.30pm. ...

Finally back to cruising I was interested in seeing what changes would be made for covid. First of all everyone onboard was double vaccinated therefore there were no children. We felt completely safe with all the protocols in place. We were surprised with an upgrade to minisuite. Self laundry was also free including detergent. The ship was at 1/3 capacity. No problem getting into diningroom at ...

My first ever cruise and I loved it. Boarding was easier than expected and I was in my cabin by 1pm or so, did some work on my laptop before we sailed. The ship was far larger than I expected as the last ship I'd been on was a Baltic ferry so this was something else. My cabin grade had been upgraded (as Trailfinders said it would) and I was on quite a high deck with a lovely balcony. I'd chose ...

Two hours to Southampton and no airport . Must say the check in and covid test was very well organised. Once on the ship I could see that it was going to be hard to get served . The staff work very hard but there isn't enough of them . To be expected during the pandemic but my other half is not very patient . Bags were waiting at our cabin , had a quick look around the balcony had other ...

We sailed on this ship for a seacation in August 2021, everything worked well, so we thought lets go again. Thats where we were mistaken as things didn't go anywhere near as well as they should have. 1. On the August cruise we had liked our Medallions so much we decided to order specla ones. Apparently these come from USA and have a 30 days battery life. Well after 2 days on board first one ...
