This cruise was simply outstanding. There are always a few caveats, and I will detail these below. I will categorise the review into several headings. Partially obstructed balcony Deck 15. Very forward facing sea at front. No obstruction. Delightful. Clean, modern, large and quiet.
Food: excellent in MDR and Wold Buffet. Occasionally, a bit cold in MDR but always tasty and fresh but ...
My wife and I just got back from a 7 day Mexican cruise on the Discovery Princess . We have done this itinerary several times and our goal for this trip was to enjoy the ship, not the ports. I have been reading comments on varioujs boards for several months and noticed that some folks think that Princess is going to hell in a handbasket and some folks think it is better than ever. I will give you ...
Greetings from aboard the Crown Princess! We are on a 16-day cruise to Hawaii, RT San Francisco.
I boarded the ship with great trepidation. The Cruise Critic comments about the ship and the itinerary caused me to think that perhaps we'd made a grave error in booking this cruise. However, that angst was put to rest the first day. While more traditional (vs. glitzy) in appearance, the ship ...
Eight of us including my 87-yr-old mother just got off the Discovery Princess after 7 fun days. This was my 12th cruise (3rd with Princess); one will never get all of your favorite things on one cruise. Many things that others complained about were not a problem for us. Being Canadian, we spent hours in the hot tubs even on the cool days and enjoyed watching movies from there. The ratio of deck ...
We were on the Discovery for 15 days. A wonderful time. The cruise director Cole was the very best So friendly and funny. His boss the entertainment officer was so nice. His hole entertainment people were nice and funny The food was plentiful and good/ Great lemon cookies. Cabin was nice and had balcony door open all the time.The fellow passengers seemed also to to be having great ...
I had no intent of booking this cruise which sailed roundtrip from San Pedro (LA) to San Francisco to San Diego to Ensenada and then back to San Pedro. But when it was announced about five weeks before sailing that it would be branded as being a "Magic Castle" cruise, I jumped at it. Fortunately there were still enough staterooms (and good ones at that) to make it that much more attractive. ...
What started on an innocent sunny day in August turned out to be an adventure we will always remember. Despite being impacted by (2) Hurricanes, the fires in Maui, and multiple medical emergencies, the Princess Staff and Officers rallied to help us all make the best experiences possible. The weather to Hawaii was hot and sunny, which was really nice. The last minute decision to reroute to Kona ...
My wife and I have cruised to Hawaii four times but always in the fall or winter. We wanted to try a cruise to Hawaii in the summer. We booked a one-bedroom suite about a year before the cruise which was 16 night round-trip from Port of Los Angeles. We like round-trip from LA because it is about 45 minutes from our home. We have cruised Princess 11 times prior to this cruise and have always ...
[First, I should mention that we are not alcohol drinkers, and therefore our commentary will not reflect at all on that particular aspect that is admittedly quite important for some readers to know about.]
The crew was excellent beyond expectation whether we are speaking about cruise director Fer-r-r-nando, the instrumental musicians (special shout-out to the trumpeter), dancers, singers, ...
I've been sailing for 22 years mostly on Carnival and Royal. The trip was outstanding in all categories from ship to cabin Stewart. Food was actually a little better than Royal and Carnival. Ship center was way to small, the Piaza. The excursion were very good and met our needs. It must be noted that there were many elderly and handy cap on this ship. Not many youth. At time the elderly had ...
