Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

We have sailed with Princess in the past and our only issue then was the substandard entertainment, everything seemed very short and lacking. Happy to say we've just had 2 weeks on Sky Princess in a full suite (wedding anniversary treat) and it was brilliant. The suite is an experience in itself, with lots of added extras, extra get togethers and activities that you wouldn't know about before ...

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 ...

I had been on two previous cruises with Princess and despite getting the norovirus on the first cruise I still enjoyed it and had a great time on the second cruise. So we decided to go on sky princess in September in a junior suite. We were very excited and looking forward to it. I've only just had chance to do this review as I've been extremely ill and in hospital so please excuse the ...

We were excited about the itinerary, since it included Shetland and Orkney. Also, we got to see friends in Newcastle, and Wales. The ship was lovely, despite depressing prior reviews. Painting, carpeting upgrades, new balcony chairs and pool chairs were being added. There were serious lines at the restaurants. It was difficult to pre-book consistent dining without the app. The MaitreD did ...

Our journey on the Island Princess was very enjoyable. Although we were disappointed in the declining quality of food, we found the service, friendliness of the staff, food presentation, & entertainment to be excellent. The itinerary was excellent as well. We did an independent tour with Tours of Guernsey which was outstanding. Our guide was very knowledgable, friendly, & professional. We ...

Ocean view cabin Fiesta deck next to gym at back, above the propeller which meant no sleep from 4am every morning as loud noise and vibration. Full sailing so unable to move Cabins. Mattress uncomfortable as dipped to the side. Many passengers with Covid or as I and 50% had a hacking cough which could be heard everywhere and I still have it. Too many passengers for size of ship. Explorers ...

We have done UK cruises before on Princess (and have also cruised Ireland on Princess and Holland America) and this time we tried to take in some new ports and took excursions to places we hadn't seen. I was especially interested in Portland, UK where we saw the "Rude Man" and beautiful Athelhampton House and Newcastle where we visited Hadrian's Wall and a Roman fort (really interesting). I was ...

My wife & I are from Ottawa, Canada and are Platinum members when cruising with Princess. As the itinerary is important to us, we are not exclusive to Princess and have sailed with other cruise lines including Norwegian, Costa, MSC and Holland America. I should also add that, although, I did not initiate the Roll Call for this particular cruise, I provided the spreadsheets to keep track of Cruise ...

This cruise was excellent. Our Personal Cruise Specialist at Princess gave us excellent support before the cruise which was so helpful. Although the cruise was at over capacity, the service was impeccable from start to finish. Embarkation was terrific, we never had to queue or wait ages for drinks, service in the MDRs and the Specialty restaurants was fabulous. We had the most wonderful experience ...

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 ...
