Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

Last time we were on Princess was in the 1990’s. We usually do not travel Princess but could not miss the chance to see Ireland and Scotland. Have never seen so many intact castles and forts in my life. Food was fair. Meat was not of high quality. Buffet desserts were bland. Choices in buffet and dining room were limited. Each night they offered filet mignon for $19. I waited till last formal ...

My wife and I have just returned from a 12 British Isles cruise on Regal Princess. We chose Princess because they were the only ones to offer the itinerary we were looking for which allowed us to arrange our own pre and post-cruise land tours. To be fully transparent, our last Princess cruise was a 12-day East Coast trip pre-Covid in 2019. We had a mid-ship deluxe balcony on Dolphin deck, ...

We cruised the British Isles on the Regal Princess during July 2023. Our Embarkation was the easiest we’ve ever experienced. We had done pre-cruise days in London and on departure day our bus left right on time from the hotel and got us to the port by 11. Staterooms were ready by 1:30. At the terminal it took like 2 seconds to get our medallions. They were extremely efficient. Our room ...

I had a solo full suite S6, aft-facing. A decent enough cabin, in need of some cleaning. Like all Princess ships, overall service quality has fallen over the years. I've sailed some others (Majestic and Enchanted) that seem to have recovered post-COVID; this one has not. Overall service is uneven, some crew really care, while others are excited about how soon their contract ends. It's not ...

Chose cruise for itinerary ( it does not stop in Russia) and after cruise scheduling- so far service excellent, cabin horrible constant noise ( they moved us last night to port side), quite a bit of Horizon Court food very chewy Mexican, pork; fruit very fresh, good variety but question quality- does not seem to be quality level of Discovery, Regal, or Enchanted ships;casino is very small, ...

We booked this as a "drop and go" back to backs more for the destinations than the ship. Some places in Norway we had been to before. We were very limited in cabins available and were in an ocean view cabin. It was acceptable once we got the room properly cleaned, aired and supplied. The window needed a good clean and it was more like being in an inside cabin as window was so filthy with scum ...

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 ...

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 ...

We booked the cruise on the strength of the itinerary, which held up very well apart from two key changes. The changes are based on the fact that one of the engines on the ship is not at full strength, so speed is limited. This meant we were quite late getting to Bergen (one of my bucket list ticks...) and we wouldn't be having an overnight in Reykjavic (something we had planned for to be able to ...

Great itinerary, 4 Norway ports and 4 Iceland ports. Even though weather predictions were not so good. It turned our great, no rain, winds do-able so ship made it to all the ports. Relatively clear skies so saw tops of all mountains, graciers and waterfalls. DW and I are elite with Princess so are very experience cruisers as well as sailed with other cruiselines. But the quality has gone ...
