Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

Last minute booking for an inside room to Canaries, Madeira and Vigo from Southampton. Premium package taken. In general pleased with the 10 day trip. Food was good. The MDR food was good, we took several evening meals and a couple of lunches. Service was generally good but the wine did take an age to arrive eg. ordered before a starter arriving with main 30 mins later. Formal night was ...

Ship is very clean and comfortable but the, much promoted, medallion app is useless. The ship's WiFi is not capable of supplying a good enough connection for it to be used by the number of passengers on board. I needs resetting and then is always "loading" even though we were using newish iphone and Samsung. Entertainment is standard Princess shows, good but nothing overly special. The atrium ...

We are on the final day of a 7 day northern European cruise on the Enchanted Princess and thought I would provide a brief overview as we head back to Southampton. This is our first cruise on Princess, but we have been on NCL pre-Pandemic. We chose Princess as we thought this would be a level up from NCL. The ship itself is beautiful and well designed. The bars and restaurants are ...

This was our 3rd attempt for this British Isles cruise as we had booked it pre pandemic. We were very much looking forward to it. Embarkation was relatively quick & straightforward. We were surprised however that we were required to wear face masks in all communal areas due to a covid outbreak on the previous cruise. Our first night in the De Vinci main dining room was not a pleasant ...

Once again we chose to cruise on Princess Cruises due to previous amazing experiences. The itinerary was great, the staff super friendly but I must say that the food this cruise on the Emerald Princess sorely missed the mark on options, taste and food quality. Having been on previous Princess boats we had very much enjoyed the freshness, and flavour of the meals provided. This trip was a flop. ...

We selected this cruise back in late 2020 and were hoping after the cruise pause, that Princess would have worked out the bugs in the cruises and got supply chains functioning and staffing back to what was normal for their ships. This I can report is not up to the standards for Princess cruises in the past. This cruise was nearly packed at over 3,500 passengers and I will tell you, it felt like ...

We wanted to tour the British Isles and Princess does a good job with this itinerary. Blarney castle was a real dud because the time there was way too short. The Blarney stone is at the top of the castle, there is only one line in and that is all you get to do in 90 minutes. The grounds and Blarney house have so much more to offer as do the Woolen Mills but there is not enough time. Now on ...

This new ship is very poorly designed. Very chopped up spaces and only small outdoor walking areas, Everything on this cruise reeked of cheapness. What in the past was always great food and service, has been replaced with lackluster offerings and dull boring food. (99% of staff are 5 star stellar service, , happy, helpful, and so congenial. But for the first time in 15 cruises, I ...

We chose the Cruise as it had a great Itinery and also to get back to normality after 2 years of Covid restrictions, boarding in Southampton was a breeze and we liked the Ship overall, our Cabin was nicely laid out and was a decent size for an inside with plenty of Coat hangers, the food was very good in the Capri Restaurant however the Desserts were a bit repetitive, the staff were very polite ...

We are season cruisers and have no loyalty to any particular cruise line, saying that we are platinum members on Princess. Have not sailed on Princess for a few years mainly due to the pandemic, in my opinion the whole Princess brand / experience has declined. Southampton, Spain, France, Italy Southampton, ship as new clean, tidy. Paid the $60 pp to be tested at the port very quick and ...
