Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

My husband won over 1000 US dollars on the slot machines, when do they actually pay out? We have been home 6 weeks now and nothing. The cruise itself was good but the SKY Princess is lacking in seating in all the venues. Had to wait to enter some, with doors locked and then when it (quiz) was over ,hurriedly told to leave. Could never get a seat in the Spirits of the Sea. Didn't seem to ...

Being laid up during covid hasn't done this ship any favours. Generous rust and flaking paint on the balcony, with unvarnished hand rail. Internally OK, if a bit dated, and due for dry Dock soon for renovation. Comfortable cabin, with the newer Comfortable mattresses and pillows. Food in MDRs generally good, and pre booking with the medallion app meant no waiting in line. Entertainment ...

We wanted to try a newer ship like Enchanted Princess, off peak season to avoid problems at the airports. We uploaded the medallion app on my cell phone and filled out all the information as required with some getting used to initially. We bought the Princess' transfer to Southampton terminal from London Heathrow. There were personals to take our luggage but we had to wait for about an hour ...

We’ve just come back from a fabulous cruise on Island Princess. We had so much fun and made lots of new friends. There were a few niggles, which I’ve highlighted here but nothing that spoiled our enjoyment. Embarkation was really easy and fast. Having used the Medallion app to upload all our details, we sailed through check-in and was on board within 15 mins. Two days before the cruise, ...

We've cruised all of the Caribbean, New England/Canada, Alaska, Mexico, Bahamas (Costa) and I've cruised the Med on HAL. This itinerary was a natural progression. We arrived a few weeks after Queen's Platinum Jubilee and so many decorations were still visible. We wish Princessair would have flown us in to alternate airports other than Heathrow with all the trouble they caused themselves. ...

My wife and I had been want to tour Great Britain and Ireland but were limited on time. When we saw this cruise went around Great Britain with stops in Ireland and other unique locales we decided this was the trip. This was our third cruise and our second on Princess. Our cabin was adequate, although a little cozier than we had anticipated. Our cabin steward was outstanding. We were ...

We've sailed on over a dozen cruise lines, but never on Princess. The smaller the cruise ship, the better, from our point of view, and the prospect of being on a ship with over 3000 passengers gave us pause. Nevertheless, we chose this cruise on the Emerald Princess because of its distinctive itinerary (Guernsey; Cobh/Cork; Dublin; Belfast; Glasgow; Orkney; Invergordon; Edinburgh and LeHavre), ...

We started out on 30 July but due to re-introduction of cancelled Covid cruises, we ended up doing back to back and stayed on for 5 weeks. First time back on Princess for us since the Covid shutdown and first impression is that there are very noticeable cutbacks and a significant increase in on board charges. I appreciate the cruiselines lost a bit over the past couple of years but if they try to ...

Felt three day prior to embarkation witnessed lateral flow test total waste of time and money...test at embarkation far better. Happy Princess stated masks should be worn walking around ship, on tenders and on coach tours but disappointed not fully implemented... about 10 per cent not wearing masks anytime! Very good cabin D421, spacious and comfortable but beverage tray not standard as ...

After a 2 year break for COVID, we finally joined Island Princess for a 14 night circular trip from Southampton. The Ports we visited were all familiar but we had arranged to meet friends in Inverness and Dover and cruising was an easy way to get there. We chose Island Princess based on our previous experience and because it was a smaller ship. Overall, there were no major issues but everything ...
