The destinations were what inspired us to take this cruise. Entertainment was excellent. The Princess musical group was top rate and thoroughly enjoyed. Excite and others were terrific. Magician was not of the same caliber as the other entertainers. The DJ made the volume unbearable and played the same play list repeatedly. I think he controlled the
volume of the movies during the day. Again the ...
We did R/T Barcelona for 3 weeks or 3 cycles. This ship had people boarding at Barcelona, Rome, Athens (and some at Crete). The cruise had wonderful ports (maybe too many!) and we had a beautiful Eastern and Western Mediterranean trip. Ship was new, clean, lots of amenities, nice staff, little ship movement (even sailing in lots of wind) and generally a wonderful floating hotel from great port to ...
Ship launched end of last year. It looked like it had not been finished. The atrium was bare, no decorations or flowers. The sun areas had no statues or fountains, no ornamental features. Unlike other ships it didn’t have any nice paintings around the ship. Basically it looked bare and unfinished. Staff shortages everywhere, trying to get a drink in a bar was impossible, the staff serving food in ...
We chose this cruise and cruise line believing it to be one of the best !!
At port large line for embarking - massive ship so delay expected- but no big issue, thankfully not raining.
Welcomed on board by mixed crew - very impressed throughout with them all .
Arrived at balcony cabin and impressed at cleanliness within . Met our steward Maurice Fernandez whom throughout provided ...
Destinations were excellent. Crew very nice. Food ok but not spectacular. Technical staff not qualified to change a cabin light bulb in my opinion. Waited 45 minutes at 11 pm to have someone open our cabin door. Only one person on the ship had a mechanical key. Next day, they decided to change the battery. That lasted 24 hours. Tried again next day as door would not open again. Supervisor ...
Review of Princes Regal cruise, May 28 - June 4, Rome to Athens
This is my feedback regarding our cruise on the Princess Regal from Rome to Athens, May 28 through June 4, 2022.
Stateroom:
The stateroom was very clean and functional. LOTS of storage space under the bed. The closet was VERY spacious, with LOTS of hangers. All storage for clothes was exceptional.
Bathroom:

Last cruise pre-pandemic was on the Regal (for us) in December 2019 and first Princess cruise since the pandemic was also on the Regal. Sailed from Rome to Athens (May 28 - June 4) and from Athens to Barcelona (June 4 - 11). First back to back cruise for us. Used Princess' suggested hotels and transfers at both Rome and Barcelona ports. Arrived at port in Rome, had to take a covid test since I ...
21 day Cruise (3 back to backs) Booked flights through EZ Air Flew directly from San Francisco - Barcelona on LEVEL Airlines. After multiple last moment airline changes Princess put us on Level and Princess rep had never heard of LEVEL airline was and sadly is not a good airline, filthy toilets, lazy sullen crew who did not care. There is no food, no water, no cushion, no headphone or blanket ...
I choose this cruise because of its unique itinerary and the promise of Princess Cruise to have the most enjoyable vacation of all. The embarkation in Barcelona could have been handled differently and more seamlessly if crew are well trained in what they are supposed to do. Instead, we have section of the embarkation that let us in to the next section only to be redirected to go back where we have ...
This was our 7th Princess cruise, but our most disappointing.
We typically love Princess but this cruise was not the best. The cleaning protocols were not as good as prior cruises. Alfredo’s was terrible, all the pizzas were just cheese pizza on a cracker. Alfredo’s is my favorite place on the ships so this was incredibly disappointing. The margherita pizza did not have tomato or ...
