Let me just start by saying…. My first cruise experience was Carnival. I never went back due to the Loud, party, chaotic atmosphere that some may enjoy but was not my pleasure.
Safety and security on and off the boat is a joke. Tender cards are not monitored. First come first serve. We got kicked from our tender boat as other just hopped on when they wanted to go ashore. We waited 1.5hrs to ...
This was our third cruise with princess, after having a magnificent time on its sister ship, the Royal princess back in 2017 we thought we'd all get back together and try the regal! There were 10 of us ranging from 22-80 years old.
We were all very excited as we had all just loved our time on the Royal princess but I don't know if princess has changed post covid or cruising in general.
First ...
Service was sub-par compared to other cruise lines. Reservations are required for dining room & impossible to get. Waiting in line for meals is the norm. You don't have a set seating time, table, or server.so meals are anonymous. Cabibs were VERY small not well cleaned. Mold in showe, shower gel and shampoo, and toilet not cleaned once the entire week.Room service is SLOW; 90 minutes minimum ...
We chose this cruise based on a great casino offer. We had sailed on her in 2008 and 2009 when she was fresh and nearly new. Today the ship is in fairly decent shape. Worn areas show in the elevators, and some of the common areas. The crew in general were outstanding! Nice positive vibe from the people who make this party barge go!
Princess really had their act together on embarkation, ...
My wife and I chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary -- we had never been to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, or Cozumel -- and the timing, which fitted our schedule. (We forgot it was March break, our kids being long grown up). We had done one cruise on Princess years ago, and two each on Norwegian and Royal Caribbean since. Princess seems at least as good as Royal Caribbean, and better than Norwegian, ...
I booked this Spring Break 7 day cruise for 7 people. Synopsis: Irritated and sometimes rude crew staff, Hard sell around every corner, multiple charge errors (duplicate charges/over charges), dining room food was hit or miss, there was an overall lack of activities planned and there were either charges for or a hard sell included in the ones that were planned, the cabins were not set up for the ...
Not the princess I sailed on 6 years ago. Had a reserve suite and the only Benefit was the dining room where the food and staff were fantastic. As for the rest forget about it. No such thing as priority boarding. Same line for everyone. Forget the sanctuary. Went right to it and was told it sold out in minutes. Also had Premier package. Priority reservations for specialty restaurants is not a ...
We chose this cruise for three reasons. The first was a lifelong desire to see the Panama Canal. The second was how much we enjoyed our Alaska Cruise Tour with Princess before COVID. The third was - COVID was no longer a concern to us!
First of all, don't get me wrong - we LOVED the cruise. The staff and crew were amazing, cheerful and helpful (especially our cabin attendant Czar). The food was ...
Princess, what happened? I’ve been on close to 40 cruises, including over 100 days with princess, and this was by far the worst cruise I’ve ever taken. When I go on a cruise, I choose the itinerary, the food, and entertainment as reasons to cruise. Halfway through this trip to Panama Canal, I have been let down so much that for the first time, I am actually posting how disappointed I am on a ...
My college aged son and I did the Western Caribbean itinerary for his college term break. It was my 3rd and his 4th time on Regal Princess, and we are both Platinum Status. We flew into Houston Hobby on late Friday night and stayed at the nearby TownePlace Suites, which is a Marriott brand with a mini kitchen. They offered a free Lyft from the airport and were clean and modern. We ordered ...
