Princess Los Angeles Cruise Reviews

Hotel: Doubletree San Pedro - the hotel is nice, and beautifully located right on the marina, but the first room they gave me was so noisy that I and to request a change. They have two or three rooms whose front doors give onto a balcony right above the reception desk. You hear everything - music, luggage, front desk clerks, telephones - I mean everything. Of course, the room the replaced it with ...

As a solo traveler, I got a really good deal, which is rare obviously. I just wanted to get away and try and build up my next tier for cruising on Princess. Additionally, I wanted to check out the ship and try and relax and have a good time, which I did. As a previous passenger on the Pacific Princess last month, I really enjoyed the Island Princess even more. It was bigger in scale scale, the ...

Cruise 4/19/14 through 4/26/14. My Mom and I took this cruise as a short getaway from the San Francisco Bay Area. We flew from San Jose, to LAX via Southwest, then boarded a Super Shuttle shared van to take us to the Pier at San Pedro. Upon arrival at the port we were surprised to see a huge mob of passengers waiting to board the ship, and another large group waiting for pick-up to leave the ...

I have been on two previous Carnival Cruises. A three night interior cabin to Bahamas on Sensation and a 6 night balcony to Western Caribbean on Freedom. I feel I got a better bargain on Princess. First, they were lax with their beach towels, unlike Carnival you didn't have to worrk about constantly exchanging your towel to get a dry one. You could take your towel out on a lounger and come back to ...

We booked this cruise because it worked for our schedule after a work trip was cancelled. We have cruised the West Coast before and it was our 2nd Princess cruise overall. We drove in and arrived at the port around 11:15AM. Getting through the initial check in was seamless, very quick and efficient. Once we were through security, they had us wait in a holding area before we could board the ship. ...

We had spent a glorious 28 days on Sapphire Princess last Oct/Nov cruising to Hawaii and the South Pacific R/T, so when we got a good deal on the 10 day Mexico Baja/Riviera cruise along with some friends, we jumped on it. We found this voyage to be much less impressive than our previous. Noticeable differences: Stateroom tv had been transformed from a smaller 21" flat screen to a large 36" (I ...

My first time on princess but have cruised several times before. We are 64 and 68. We feared it would be an all geratric crowd but it was mixed...definitely an older group but there were a surprising number of younger people. We tried in vain using the princess website to get more information about services and option on the cruises. Several places said, check with your travel agent. We couldn't ...

On NCL three times, first on Princess. Next time I will speak up when we first arrive on the ship. Our short four night cruise on the Sapphire Princess could have been more comfortable. I booked a BC cabin on Aloha deck in January but when the prices dropped, we were upgraded to midship, Caribe. They did provide the waffle mattress that I requested during booking but not the twin beds. I feel like ...

Short cruise Coastal California to Ensenada Food was as expected, somewhat better than Royal Carribbean, more choices especially at breakfast Hated German Night in the Buffet, so did our friends, have no idea why on earth they offer that The hot dogs and pizza were always a saving grace...very well done Absolutely hated the beds...hard as a rock...even after asking for extra padding But we ...

No animal towels. No singing waiter. Pools area are small. First night my daughter came back early than usual from other cruise. She said where are all the humans on this cruise. As time goes by, we never encounter any major congestions on this fully booked cruise and realized why breaking down public areas in to smaller venues. My daughter came back later and later as she stay out all night on ...
