Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

We wanted a change from the Med, so Norway seemed like a pretty different cruise with something genuinely new to see. The fjords did not disappoint, everywhere you turn there is another stunning view. As for the ship, it's mostly well laid out with a beautiful piazza and it feels premium thoughout. The Take Five lounge is a bit of a waste, as Jazz isn't nearly as popular as someone seems to think ...

About us: We are a married couple in our late 50's early 60's. We have experienced over 20+ ocean cruises, and this was our first post Covid. Our experiences have been with Princess, Celebrity, RCCL, NCL and Carnival. We travel for the destinations and the ease of which cruising allows. I will cover the pre cruise travel, ship, ports, excursions and food. Pre Cruise: We booked our own ...

This was our first cruise on Princess, although we have cruised many times on NCL and RCCL. The itinerary and price is what attracted us to this particular cruise of the Norwegian fjords. Overall, we were not disappointed. We took care of our flights, hotel and transportation ourselves. We flew into LHR and took the excellent BlackBerry Car service (a private car with driver). We stayed at the ...

We haven’t cruised with Princess for the best part of 10 years, and never on the Island Princess. Shes a classic style cruise liner and on the larger size of what we have been used to recently. Embarking was quick and flawless at Southampton and we were in our cabin before 1pm. An inside cabin to the rear of deck B, not far from the rear lifts and stairs. The “stateroom” was a good size ...

We were looking for a way to see as much of the British Isles as possible and this itinerary delivered. This was our second time on Princess, (Majestic in Alaska being the other). Otherwise we have done Disney cruises. We thought service was on par with Disney and our prior experience with Princess. We were a little nervous based on recent reviews of the Regal indicating it was short ...

This was our second Princess cruise this year after spending 2 weeks on Sky Princess 2 months prior to this cruise. We decided to do the British Isles 12 night cruise around UK & Ireland in July thanks to the excellent 50% off offer we were given when we were on Sky. We drove to Southampton from Ickenham and set out after 8.30am. We were at port at 10.15am. After emptying our luggage and ...

Sky Princess, boat built and inaugurated in 2019, therefore quite recent. Same size as the Royal, Regal, Majestic… The boat has more windows, more modern restaurant spaces. Food and restaurants At Market Place, buffet restaurant for all meals is fine. Traditional dishes for all dinners with, in addition, a different theme each evening! In the dining room, the menus were varied and the food ...

This was a bonus week away for us after a long trip in February so we just wanted to relax and explore some new places. Was a bit concerned as we have never been on a ship this big and favour Celebrity smaller ships and Cunard though we did do a short sailcation on the Regal Princess during Covid. The ship is great, lovely decor, lots of differents bars and restaurants meaning that it has a ...

7night cruise to Scandinavian cities. Southampton round trip. We had an Aft balcony. Pros. .Loved this ship. Very attractive layout and even though sailing full, plenty of places to sit. Great Aft balcony. Good service in dining room but pretty poor in bars Princess in my opinion,is extremely well organized in organising their trips(had a bad experience with Celebrity). Enjoyed all ...

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 ...
