Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

Firstly, this ship is too big with far too many people onboard and not enough staff. Unfortunately this cruise was during half term so the pools were taken over by children who even had their own blow-up toys in the water. Not enough seating in the public areas. Sunbeds on the decks are almost touching each other. Poor service in the dining room. Wine is served to you already in a glass and not by ...

Avoid E504 like the plague. The noise in this cabin was like a trapped poltergeist trying to escape from inside of the cabin walls. The banging noise was frightening. This only happened at sea. It took loads of complaints and after 8 days we moved to a quiet cabin. This problem affected quite a number of passengers in the lower/middle ship area. Disembarkation was terrible, its was running over ...

Overall I was very disappointed with my experience on the Sky Princess. In comparison to my past experiences on Princess, it was very lacking. Firstly, I found the entertainment to be mediorce. For a transatlantic cruise, there were not many activities to engage in, especially at night. Also, the front desk staff lacked conflict resolution and customer service skills. The sprinkler system in my ...

We sailed on Sky Princess for a Transatlantic crossing, our third time on princess but we have taken many cruises with different lines and destinations. Dimond Plus on RC, We love cruising. We traveled with my sister and brother in law and were very excited to take this trip together.. Our cabin ( mini suite) was nice but the bathroom had lots of hair around the bath and floor and my husband made ...

In case you are new to Princess and have been influenced by the channel 5 series where smiling guest services staff personally escort passengers to cabins that are packed with more free canapés and complimentary champagne than you can shake a stick at.... well you'll be disappointed. Its a little different in practice. In reality there are no ' frills" and zero added value. We quickly dubbed ...

Chose this cruise as for 12 nights there were 8 ports of call so not many sea days. Sadly a massive storm started on the day of embarkation and messed up the whole trip. Delayed departure and then two ports were cancelled which couldn't be helped. Weather was atrocious throughout. Ship was packed and there was no "quiet space". All public areas were too small and you were continually on top of ...

The cruise was a fairly typical cruise until the final night of the cruise. I was standing on my room's balcony observing the departure from the port of Le Havre, France. Now remember that every cruise line you have ever sailed on repeatedly lectures you on not throwing anything overboard. I was standing there enjoying the departure when I was deluged with an unknown liquid from the deck above. I ...

Princess came highly recommended however we were extremely disappointed. It did not start well. We queued for more than two and a half hours just to get into the terminal and then found that they had lost our medallions and had a photograph of someone completely different on their database. All told it was more than three hours from entering the port to reach our cabin. The system of ...

Booked to try out Princess for the first time, had good expectations and the cruise was competitive from IGLU. Overall a very mixed back, the ship is lovely, modern clean and well maintained and it creates a great first impression. But it doesn't last long, the ship is so overcrowded and understaffed that it is impossible to get a seat, a sunbed, or a table unless you get there early and reserve ...

Tried Royal Caribbean (outstanding) and MSC (very good) and although you receive loyalty benefits it seemed tragic not to sample more of what’s on offer out there so here I am on a princess ship , it will be the last time . Nothing terribly wrong with it if you like Butlins, but not one thing I could say was terrific. Embarkation was the worse cruising experience I’ve ever had , Princess you ...
