Princess Southampton Cruise Reviews

Age 20-30, cruised with Royal Caribbean 15+ times so sought to try another cruise liner, and we were recommended Princess Cruises. Whilst we wasn't at all disappointed with the recommendation, as the service, food and ship itself could not be faulted, there is absolutely nothing to do for fun unless you like endless quizzing, bingo or forced game shows. Of an evening, after dinner, there is no ...

We selected this cruise as we wanted to see London. Good price and high obc. Princess continues to go downhill. Main dining room is bland. Desserts are repetitive. Buffet sausages taste like cardboard. Liquid eggs are used. The head waiter said he’d get me omelet made with fresh eggs. Shouldn’t have be like that . Pastries are frozen, some hadn’t been thawed out. The other head waiter told me it ...

This was probably our once in a lifetime United Kingdom cruise -- 7 ports in 10 days -- England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. From the British Museum in London to war museums and, oh so many, castles, the overall trip ticked many boxes. Because this trip was port heavy, time and experience on the ship were more limited than usual. But, this was our 3rd trip on the Regal ...

32 day Back to Back Cruise on the Sky Princess from Sept 16th to Oct 17th 2023. We also did this Cruise last year on the Sky Princess and how things have now gone way downhill. Penny Pinching Princess- Less Staff/Waiters around means very long wait times to get served both in the bars and dining rooms High percentage of Waiters are Training and therefore the quality of service is very ...

Never having cruised previously with Princess, we booked this cruise for the itinerary and sailing date. Embarkation in Southampton was hassle free, even for 3500 passengers, and first impressions of the ship were positive, as we experienced a well presented and polished interior. The 6 day crossing to Boston was rough with bad weather and a huge swell for most of the time. It was here that ...

We have never cruised before but as my mother is getting on in years, it's getting to the stage where we can't do independent travel any more and we were keen to try a cruise where everything is on hand in one place. After much deliberation and deciding not to fly, with limited options we settled on the Princess Sky culinary cruise from Southampton to Guernsey, La Rochelle, Bilbao and La ...

We chose the cruise because of the itinerary and convenience of UK departure point. Had assumed service would be similar to P&O and Royal Caribbean but sadly it was not. The ship was cold and lacked atmosphere, restaurant service varied from poor to average and whilst the food was good with reasonable portions, the dining experience lacked class. No control over so called Smart Casual, often ...

Staff are amazing.food is amazing.ship is amazing. Entertainment is lacking i'm afraid..if you are 4 yrs old or if you are 80 plus then fine..but inbetween that then early to bed..i love a pianist and a violinest..but not every night all night..daytime entertainment was ok.but evenings became extremely tiresome. Found ourselves eating out.a few drinks then after 2 to 3 hrs of listening to the same ...

I enjoyed my cruise even though the excursions were very expensive. Since arriving home I have tried to contact Princess three times to ask them to refund the money they took from my account for a bar bill that is incorrect because I did not order any drinks. Their online form does not work and when I rang them I was told to call the USA. I think this is a shocking way to treat customers. ...

Travelled as a family of 3 including a 12yr old, we are platinum members with Princess and have completed over 15 cruises as a family with various different cruise lines. CPS Parking at Southampton port was very quick and efficient. I would definitely recommend. The embarkation process was effortless and we was through security and on the ship in no time at all, less than 45 mins. The ...
