This was Plan C in terms of our preferred destinations due to covid. We are a younger couple and have cruised in the past.
The BAD:
Cancelled/changed itineraries: including Colombia, and grand cayman and both replaced with bahamas. (Colombia was the reason we booked so we were sorely disappointed i do give props to princess for trying to fix the situation!)
Cancelled our costa rica ...
This particular cruise was on my bucket list for a long time. I'm quite particular when it comes to cruising, because I think it can be a little too regimented for my taste, but going through the canal was something best experienced on a cruise ship.
There are certain issues that come up with all travel that are simply not in control of Princess. In this circumstance, we were delayed boarding ...
We choose this cruise because of its destinations. Panama Canal, Cartagena, Costa Rica, Grand Turk, Jamaica. I will applaud them for there covid enhancements, people wore their masks and everyone was respectful of this and of spacing.
We were disappointed that the ship although clean and kept up it is a bit outdated. The activities were mediocre to boring. Understandably, with Covid ...
We went on this cruise so that we could see the Panama Canal. Overall, I guess it was a good cruise. The captain and leadership staff was not nearly as informative of situations and concerns on the ship as in other cruises taken during Covid times. 4 hour delay from leaving Ft. Lauderdale (no reason provided or announcement made). 4 hour delay leaving Panama (no reason provided or announcement ...
Cruise was a replacement for 03/2020 cancellation. Some aspects were above average, some average and some poor.
Condition of ship was poor considering in was refurbished. lots of rust, decks on lido in poor condition. Our refridge had to be repaired, electrical current coming through metal base on beside lamp and only water options in shower` were Hot and Hotter no cold water control and ...
The port of calls was the main reason we chose this cruise. The ship didn't end up going to Columbia as planned because it had to divert course since there was a medical emergency on board. We were good with that as if one of us needed emergency care we would want the same.
The staff was so unbelievably friendly, so helpful. The crew really made this cruise, all of them were good, some were ...
We did a full transit in 2004 on the Coral Princess ,and wanted to see the NEW improved canal since the additional locks were added.
Over all it was a great crossing and neat to see the new canal and gates. the crowd was older and more scooters on this cruise than on previous Princess cruises.
The activities onboard were kind of lame and geared toward an older crowd , so a lot of trivia and ...
Wanted to visit Panama and Grand Carman but poor choice of time do to Covid-19. Even so. It was a nice cruise and appreciate the great service we received. Room was outstanding and kept that way the entire trip. Staff and all attendants were always friendly. Even under our serious situation the captain and his staff made this trip an enjoyable one. Never did we feel we were in trouble or under ...
I choose this cruise because wanted to do the Panama Canal it was our first time with Princess and will be the last time.
The food was terrible with no variety with lots of junk food deep fried
We like fine dining there were none
It’s started at the airport pick up 3 hrs late and 2 hrs to embark cruise we were supposed to leave at 4 pm and left at 8.30
Very disorganized.
They left ...
On the good side, the staff or crew was very friendly and courteous. Food was good as well as entertainment.
On the bad:
1) the wait to board the cruise was ridiculous
2) once in our room, hours later, we found a dirty bathroom and carpeting, beds not put together. We complained.
3) went to wait until the room was cleaned, beds put together, carpet vacuumed and were told the room was ...
