Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

t I travel with my partner Janet. We chose this cruise for the itinerary. 33 days with ports in Iceland and Norway. The Island Princess seemed to be the perfect way to visit the northern ports and June the perfect season to do so. This is not the review I had hoped to write when we made the reservations. The disappointment was not with the itinerary, but the ship. No, not even the ship, but ...

5 Stars – Embarkation/Disembarkation in Port of South Hampton and Transfer to Heathrow Airport. 4 Stars – Crew. Most were friendly and accommodating with a few exceptions. (5 Stars to the International Café Staff) (2 Stars to the Cruise Director. Cruise Director at the end of each Theater Show would tell a Long/Old Joke that she probably found on YouTube. 4 Stars – Bar Drinks and ...

The itinerary was the reason for booking this trip with both our families. The ship and service exceeded our expectations. The ship was full an felt like it. We did not get to enjoy the entertainment as every show was full before we could arrive after dinner. The meals were average at best, but the service was excellent. We learned to send someone ahead to save spaces in the lounges and games ...

Several things were done well on this cruise but the worn out bed and the flavorless, poorly cooked food spoiled the experience. Embarkation in Southampton was a breeze. The ship public spaces are lovely and kept spotless. The crew were are quite polite. The bed was very poor, so a good night's sleep was not to be had. The food in the main dining room was undercooked (pasta), overcooked ...

I wanted to go to Iceland. I booked this trip thinking I was going there only to find out at the last minute that I was actually going to Norway. I could not pronounce the names of the cities that we were going to and as you can see with the title it does not say Iceland in it. I, also, thought I was in a room with a partial view, and I had a full tender with the lowering device right in front ...

We had FCC to use up after COVID, and this cruise was on one of our bucket lists. We have been on more than 25 Princess cruises, but they have changed too much for us, They seem to be going for a younger market, and they are denigrating the traditional cruises we used to enjoy in pursuit of first-time cruisers. Considering their loyal customers tend to be senior citizens, one has to wonder if ...

This cruise had been on our bucket list for quite some time and a similar booking was cancelled in 2020 due to covid. Pre-Cruise Comments The necessary admin and check-in processes were confusing because some things are now in the new medallion app and others in the online personaliser where everything used to be. It was also frustrating because the app was often slow and sometimes ...

What a lovely ship,food entertainment , bar service,the staff could not do enough for you , cabin clean , Buffett enough choice and had themed nights each night to go along with the Rest of the normal Buffett food, we dined in one of the main restaurants at 7.20 which we booked before our cruise , thus gave us enough time to come back on ship from a excursion and chill and watch sail aways from ...

We’ve done 4 Princess cruises in the past year with very good results, but this was an odd exception. We chose the cruise because of its attractive British Isles itinerary, and the itinerary was indeed very good. But unlike other Princess cruises, the food in the main dining rooms were of poor quality with very limited selection. The service was slow and sloppy, and the maitre d’s seldom smiled or ...

This review is for the 33 day cruise, not just the part the CC system would recognize. I chose this cruise because it went to a much desired destination: Longyearbyen (Svalbard), an island north of the Arctic Circle belonging to Norway. I booked in February when I saw I could book a 33 day cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale to Southhampton to Norway and back to Southhampton. Not long after final ...
