This was our 14th cruise crossing mulitple cruise lines (Viking, Royal, Azamara, HAL) and now Princess for the first time. Our trip was going to be the 4th cruise of the Sun Princess, but it turned out to be the second I believe. I still have high expectations for Princess as they didnt communicate any issues with the boat prior to departure. We did upgrade to a balcony room. We had another room ...
This was my 15th Princess cruise and the best yet in terms of the ship itself. The ports of Azores, Madeira, Casablanca, Cadiz and Lisbon were fine but not trip highlights for me. Note: if one of your main concerns is the main dining room or the specialty restaurants, look elsewhere as I no longer go there on any cruise.
The ship is beautiful. The whole boarding process from being bused ...
Writing as I go, so the review might seem choppy.
I enjoyed my sun princess cruise very much. The workers were fantastic. I would recommend it for my family if they want to sail.
There were some negatives that I will mention in the review. I write them out not as a complaint, but I am hoping Princess media team will be able to see it and make improvement. I also hope to provide future ...

I’ll keep these comments about the ship, rather than ports or other things.
Stateroom
Reserve Minisuite
We loved the minisuite - with one exception covered ...
They advertise and promised a vacation that wasn't what we paid for... Loss of most important stop, Santorini, and the replacement wasn't even close in comparison! So much of the entertainment wasn't up and running, and won't be for quite a while! There is no Spellbound, no Love by Britto, no shows in the Dome, reduced replacement shows in the arena and Piazza. It not even close to what is ...
We took this cruise to see Portugal again and get to Uk. We chose an inside cabin to save some money . I booked thru princess because it was our first time on them and I wanted a good cabin. I said I wanted stateroom ubove and below. Our room was over the piazza. We had music blasting in our room until 12:15 am. We called nightly and no one did a thing. We were told there were no rooms to move ...
Our Island Princess Cruise was scheduled with an itinerary from Dubai to the Red Sea / Suez Canal to the Greek Islands to Italy. Due to world events, Princess deleted the itinerary and substituted a new segment from Cape Town to Rome through the eastern Mediterranean.
This was our 45th wedding anniversary trip and we had targeted the Greek Isles as a bucket list item to check-off. Princess ...
Looked forward to sailing on what was promoted as a fantastic ship. However. venues too closed in a nowhere for a quiet drink before dinner as everything took place in the piazza. On Plus package and ket getting charges fro drinks I never had. No shows, No Park 19, No Dome events. this list could go on. Even paid a supplement for speciality and was charged service charge on top of that.
Do not ...
We picked this cruise originally as it was to be the 3rd cruise on Sun Princess as it turned out it was the inaugural cruise which was more expensive at the time of booking but we felt by the 3rd cruise all would be working what a mistake!!!
Princess should have let us know before we travelled that the theatre and park 19 would be unavailable to us instead just giving 60$ each when we on board ...
Imagine this scenario: Princess Cruiseline sends out an email to booked passengers for the 2/28 Inaugural (by default after 2/8 and 2/18 were canceled) cruise. The email discloses that, despite their best efforts, the ship just isn't quite ready yet. Never the less, they have decided to sail as planned vs canceling outright. This fantasy email gave passengers the option of rescheduling to a ...
