We chose this cruise because we were planning to fly to Hawaii and stay in Lahaina at a hotel or an Airbnb.Instead we found this cruise at a very reasonable price and decided to do two things,going back to Hawaii again,and doing it at a cost less than previously planned.Pluse we really enjoy the cruise expierence.We had several problems from start to finish,however i will say that the ship was ...
This was an 80s themed cruise and that was very appealing. However, the only thing 80s was the nightly show at 7:30 or 9:00. Very little 80s anything other than some cheap paper signs and inflatable cell phones.
Ship is so old. Our balcony was rusted through on the front. The spa was a mess. Lockers were broken and you couldn’t lock them so we were told just stick your belongings in there it ...
Overall, a wonderful experience. The itinerary was great, and we enjoyed all of the ports and excursions. We felt blessed to see peak sakura blooms at Hirosaki Castle in Aomori, and wandering Kanazawa on our own was a highlight.
The send-offs and performances from the locals at each port during sailaways are not to be missed. Really, truly lovely and touching. You must make sure to be out on ...
We chose to sail out of Galveston to save air fare because we live in Texas and just drove in the day before. The time was perfect and the price was within our financial means. This was an 80's themed cruise which some people went all out, the theme to me was neither good nor bad though I did get tired of Cyndi Lauper. I watched a lot of You Tube video and prepared myself as best I could. The ...
We chose this cruise by date only, as we were celebrating my 60th birthday. We are most loyal to Princess with the caveat that cruising has changed since the pandemic started.
Embarkation was mostly quick and easy. We were blue lane, but it was short--we were second in line. The rep didn't seem too familiar with the program and struggled to enter the information in the system (it was literally ...
Back in the early 2000s, I got hooked on cruising like a fish on a line. But then I took a break for a while. Fast forward to April 2023, and I'm back at it again with my third cruise in the last two years, this time aboard the Regal Princess - my very first trip with Princess Cruises. As a solo cruiser, I sailed with Virgin Voyages in December 2021, and then again in December 2022 on HAL's Nieuw ...
This was our 18th Princess cruise, our last one being on Regal five years ago. We traveled in a Club Class mini-suite on deck 14. Here are some brief observations:
1. Embarkation in Ft. Lauderdale: Easy-peasy. We drove to the port, dropped off our luggage at curbside, parked in the Heron garage, and were checked in without any trouble at all. Using the Medallion along with facial ...
I have been on 11 cruises, not a lot but a fair amount. I have sailed on Carnival, MSC, Royal Caribbean, Holland America and Princess.
My past voyage on Princess was spectacular which is why we chose to use the line again.
As we planned our family vacation we knew we needed a ship that would appeal to my 80 year old parents and my 28 and 29 year old Daughters.
So we did our research and ...
I am appalled by the amount of negative reviews. We took 6 days California coast cruise and have nothing even slightly bad to say, maybe it’s because we don’t feel entitled. Let me break this down
1. Service - every crew member, and I mean every single one, greets you with smile. People who work their butts off 12 hours shifts for 6-9 months still keep a smile on their faces. Room gets cleaned ...
Unfortunately, this cruise was one disappointment after another. Our first issue was our dining experience. We had booked a nightly reservation for traditional dining, and during our 1st dinner, our waiter told us that traditional dining had been “abolished”. I told him I was sad to hear that, he mentioned that I could request him and ask to be sat in the same section each night, which we did, ...
