We chose this cruise because my husband is a scuba diver and we heard that Grand Turk was an amazing spot to dive. But there are limited cruise lines that sail to Grand Turk and we wanted a more upscale experience than what we'd heard Carnival offers. There was not a dive excursion offered through Princess, so we booked our own. That was all well and good, it worked out just fine.
The real ...
Too many issues starting with:
Cabin set up for 2 singles vs the double we booked--had to get steward to rectify.
No fruit or champagne waiting in room upon arrival--steward brought 2 glasses 3 hours after we got in our cabin!!!
Medallion app messed up some of our dining reservations.
Older ship with far fewer amenities vs. what is provided on there 3 newest ships (e.g. lack casual ...
Chose this cruise as for 12 nights there were 8 ports of call so not many sea days. Sadly a massive storm started on the day of embarkation and messed up the whole trip. Delayed departure and then two ports were cancelled which couldn't be helped. Weather was atrocious throughout. Ship was packed and there was no "quiet space". All public areas were too small and you were continually on top of ...
The cruise was a fairly typical cruise until the final night of the cruise. I was standing on my room's balcony observing the departure from the port of Le Havre, France. Now remember that every cruise line you have ever sailed on repeatedly lectures you on not throwing anything overboard. I was standing there enjoying the departure when I was deluged with an unknown liquid from the deck above. I ...
Chose this cruise because we wanted to see Fall Colors in Canada/New England and had had favorable experiences on Princess in the past.
However, this is an OLD ship (2004 refurbished 2019) and shows its age as well as lack of modern amenities. Although we didn't pay the most for our oceanview cabin we did not expect it to have bunk beds which protruded from the wall on either side of the queen ...
We had booked this cruise hoping to see fall colors but much of the trees had not yet turned. We booked an overnight stay in Montreal with Princess before embarking on the cruise. Montreal accommodations were nice but the transfer process was lacking. The busses picked us up so late that we didn’t reach the ship until 4:00 pm which caused us to miss out on several hours in Quebec City. The ...
We went on a miniAlaska cruise from Vancouver, ending in Seattle. The checkin process in Vancouverwas poorly organized. We ended up standing in line for over an hour. The ship itself is OK but in need of upgrading. Staff for the most part were friendly and helpful. We disembarked to have lunch in Ketchikan. When we returned there was a very long line to get back on the ship. Only one ...
My wife and I have sailed on 4 cruises to various places. We have sailed on Royal Carribean and Norwegian. The most recent was on Princess to Alaska. The boarding experience was lacking. Very long line and not very organized. We told the person to use the main credit card for the secondary passenger, but apparently that did not happen, so we were called back down to guest services during the ...
We are loyal Princess Cruise passengers, and this was our tenth cruise with Princess, first trip on the Crown Princess. While Alaska was absolutely amazing, we were really disappointed with the experience on the ship. The food was probably our number one issue, with very few choices on the boat and a very lackluster buffet. The variety wasn't there, and they often put out stale and old items. One ...
We choose this cruise because it travelled to places in Canada we have never been..... and still haven't been to. We did encounter the pre bits of Hurricane Lee and the Captain made the decision to skip Charlestown, PEI, Halifax, NS and Bar Harbor, MN and shelter for 3 days in Boston. So we missed over 60% of our cruise and spent 3 calm days in Boston for a Hurricane that never came... beyond ...
