Princess Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

Princess Emerald is a great ship, the staff is wonderful ,the food is awesome and the excursions were great! My husband and I had a great time. The disembarkation was made easy, very organized which made life good. I will definitely book another cruise with Princess in the future. The ship was exceptionally clean , having everyone wash their hands before entering the eating areas. We were on the ...

I chose this cruise because I wanted to go through the Panama Canal, but I did not want to do the longer cruise that goes Florida to California. I also chose it because there were few days a see and interesting port. It is a great cruise. The entertainment was great. There was always something to do. The staff and service was wonderful. The Crooners Bar always had great service and musicians. ...

Princess Cruiselines never fails to impress! We’ve just finished our 4th cruise and the level of quality has been consistent both before and after COVID. The buffet changes were handled very well also. It was a pretty seamless transition from self-serving to being served, cafeteria-style. Hand washing was encouraged inside each entrance and I’m confidence these policy changes would also ...

We chose this cruise for our 35th anniversary 2 years ago. Covid had another vision. We were so relieved when they opened back up for cruising. All of the servers, room stewards, and the rest of the staff were so glad to be back cruising. I'm just not sure how they survived after not cruising for 22 months. I wanted to support them. Everything was so incredibly clean. The ports were very ...

I chose this cruise because of the dates, as well as the destinations. I enjoyed going to the spa, Ma Hernonette Lapira gave me a few great massages and information about how to take care of my muscles. Marc and his team at the Sanctuary helped me get extremely relaxed and feel pampered. Lyn and Christina provided excellent service at Crown Grill, and John at Crwn Grill put in extra work on some ...

My parents had planned a Panama Canal cruise shortly before they died ... at 68 years young ... so at 73, I fulfilled their dream. I needed a chance to get out of the house and out of all my obligations and thought a 15-day cruise with lots of days at sea would fill the bill and it did! The Princess crew is fantastic and the food divine. Small portions and my commitment to getting in 7000 steps a ...

This was our first cruise going thru the Panama Canal. What a wonder! Leaving San Francisco turned out to be very efficient. Princess crew waiting at baggage to direct you to waiting room and bus. First port was Cabo San Lucas where we took the whale watching excursion. Turned out to be our favorite! Large clean boat with great crew. Tip: best area to be is top front of boat to spot whales. ...

This was our 11th cruise overall, but our first Princess cruise. It was easily one of the best cruises we've ever been on. The service and food was outstanding, except for breakfast in the dining room. The service for breakfast was always very slow and I was surprised that they never adjusted their hours for when we were in port or on disembarkation day. However, despite that, the food we had ...

Had a great time on the emerald princess, wonderful weather, great food and service. Entertainment was enjoyable. Back to back cruises, Panama Canal LOs Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, followed by a 14 days Circle the Caribbean. If you like a great evening in a fun atmosphere I suggest the Wheelhouse bar on Deck 7 next to the Princess Theater. James Naldo acoustic guitar is a great way to ...

I did this cruise once before through the Old Locks and this was even a better experience. The entire passage through the locks was narrated by an experienced commentator and was also on the TV in my room so it was easy to appreciate it. I also was happy with all the ports selected. My balcony cabin on the port side was lovely. Ports tours that I enjoyed were San Sebastian above Puerto ...
