We were on the cursed ship and it was one of the worst experiences, especially considering we paid thousands.
#1) Plumbing issues
Booked a mini-suite. Toilet worked for half the day before stopping completely. No hot water. Had to stand at guest services with dozens of others with the same problem. We were moved to another room in a different part of the ship where the toilet stopped working ...
We wanted to return to Alaska after going there in 2010 on a Princess cruise. After saving and waiting 2 years to cruise due to Covid we were so excited to cruise again.
Not sure where to start… Disappointment started after we made our final payment and we received the first of many itinerary changes. One received the second itinerary charge while we were flying to Seattle. Then about one a ...
I have taken 10 cruises in my life, but had not had a vacation in over five years…due to caring for an elderly dad and working as a nurse through a pandemic.
My daughters wanted to see Alaska. Most importantly, visit Glacier Bay National park and whale watch. Chose Princess because I had heard good things about them and they go into the park.
They changed our ship with a couple of ...
I took my mother on an Alaska cruise as this was dream of hers. She is 82 years of age, and most likely will not be able to take another cruise. I booked the cruise and excursion based on her agility to get around. The Alaska trip offered the most for her to enjoy.
The Crown Princess should never have sailed. The ship was plagued with engine issues before we even left the port.
Our ports ...
Before I talk about disappointments, I would like share our appreciation for the wonderful Baltic cruise we took in 2019 on the Regal Princess. This cruise was in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary, and shore excursions were the most important part. Seeing, for the first time, Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo, Tallinn, and two days in St. Petersburg! WOW!! We had the best time of our lives ...
I did not enjoy the cruise due to all of the changes due to problems with the ship that should have been ready considering it was parked for 25 months. Here is the issue. I was on two other ships with the same issues ( Heavy Prop Vibration ) on their first trip out. The Crown also had plumbing issues the whole cruise and the medallion was iffy causing major billing issues like I have never ...
I have done 10 cruises prior to this round trip Seattle to Alaska, all with princess. This was the worst ever. Engine & other mechanical issues forced the ship to reduce speed to 15knts, causing the ship to bypass Juneau totally and reduce time in Skagway & Ketchikan. Even our stay in glacier bay was reduced. Princess offered us $100 onboard credit & 20% of the cruise cost in future ship ...
We purchased this Alaskan cruise for a retirement gift for my wife. We had waited 15 years to take this trip and were so excited to finally be leaving. Let’s start with the ship, it was in no way ready to sail! Once we were onboard we found knobs missing from cabinets in our suite. We received notice due to scheduled maintenance we couldn’t cruise at the speed necessary to complete our itinerary ...

1. No one was there to meet us at Seattle Airport as advertised after flying 2000 miles from Orlando.
2. After finding Princess setup were told to carry our 4 bags to the shuttle area and get in line to board a bus for transport to ship. We waited an hour in 45 degree temperatures with empty buses in front of us watching the staff bump into each other. we personally ...
IF YOU PLAN TO TAKE A CRUISE TO ALASKA READ THIS FIRST!!!
When you return home from a vacation you share your experience with everyone! It's one of the best parts of vacation. BUT when you are gone for 7 days and didn't get to do anything you had planned, it's a tough pill to swallow. It's like being ROBBED.
This is one of the hardest reviews I have ever written….
I have contemplated ...
