Princess Pacific Coastal Cruise Reviews

We decided to give Princess a try for the short 3-day cruise and opted fora mini-suite with the plus package. We started out our first day with lunch in the Skagway didning room so we could try the orance souffle. Service was very odd and our waiter seemed like he really was not having a good morning. When the food did finally arrive it was lukewarm and a little bland. It was just okay. The room ...

I recently embarked on a voyage with Princess Cruise Line on the Discovery Princess. While the ship itself was beautiful, my overall experience was disappointing and didn’t meet my expectations. The ship lacked a variety of activities for children. They had a multi-purpose court and two ping pong tables, but the equipment was worn down and in need of repair. They didn’t organize many outdoor ...

Hi, Everyone! I've already posted a LIVE from Discovery Princess topic, so I'll just stick to a summary here. My wife and I have cruised extensively on many cruise lines -- Platinum on Princess, so getting close to 15 cruises on their line. We live in Phoenix, so we prefer to sail out of one of the SoCal ports, which greatly limits the possibilities. We were looking for a 7-day cruise to ...

Words to describe our first time on Princess: average, uninspired, meh, just ok. We usually cruise on Royal Caribbean or Norwegian, but since Crown Princess had a sailing out of SF during our ski week, we decided to try it. Going in, I knew it would be a smaller ship without the activities of an Oasis class RC ship. What I didn't expect was how average it all was. Nothing blew us away. We ...

DINING: This was our second Princess Cruise and the experience that impressed us the most was the elevated cuisine in the main dining room (Botticelli). Having previously sailed on Celebrity (Millenium), Holland America (Zuiderdam), Cunard (Queen Elizabeth), and Princess (Ruby), I would have rated Princess at the bottom of the list for dining. After this cruise on the Crown Princess, I would now ...

We had never cruised before this trip. We have many friends that cruise regularly, some with over 30 cruises. Several of our friends cruised on this ship in the past year and a half. They convinced us this was the ship for us. Why this ship? We love live music. This cruise had 2 piano players, 2 bands, one solo guitarist, 2 violinists, and a jazz trio. The music was great. The jazz trio, ...

This was our first Princess cruise and I have to say it was not up to the standard I was expecting. We have cruised with many other cruise lines, P & O, NCL, Marella, Celebrity and MSC. Pros * Lovely ship, kept beautifully clean * Many/Most of the staff were helpful and friendly * Theatre shows were very good *. Guest speaker throughout the cruise was excellent - also enjoyed the ...

We chose this cruise, California Coastal, so we didn't have to fly. I called the 800 line at Princess directly to get all the details for the cruise. The trouble began with the first call. I first inquired about the need for a passport since mine recently expired and I was concerned if one was needed. They told me no passport needed just a valid i.d. Driver's license would work fine. I called back ...

Crown Princess Cruise, October 22, 2023 We had transfers from SFO to the ship. On the way to the ship, all went well until we arrived at the pier. There was a long line to get into the building and it seemed to be held up for no apparent reason. When we finally were allowed to proceed, we went to the check in area and looked for the priority line for Elite passengers. We could not find one ...

We honeymooned on the Crown in 2007. Had a great time sailing from NYC to the Caribbean and back. That trip kick started our love of cruising. So this trip was a homecoming of sorts. How was it 16 years later? While the ship has obviously aged and shows some wear here and there, overall it seems to be actually improved. The tech added throughout the ship is brilliant. The medallions worked ...
