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, ...
This was my first Princess experience, and I was excited, because my understanding was that Princess was a "step up" in the cruise experience I'm used to.
This is my fourth cruise overall. The three previous with Royal Carribbean. All four cruises have departed out of Galveston. Also this is my first post-COVID cruise.
Overall, my experience was extremely underwhelming.
I was extremely ...
The ship was nice and the captain actually made time each day to walk around and speak to the passengers. I also liked the way the captain kept the ship informed each day with daily updates from the bridge on weather and port calls.
The ship does cater to travelers from Japan. The food on the buffet was around 40% Japanese food and about the same in the main dining room. I would say the food ...
Chose this ship because it had a Pickleball court and we wanted to play a lot on sea days. On the first day we headed to deck 19 to play only to discover that the plastic playing surface did not allow the ball to bounce at all. The net was in disrepair and everything was covered in soot from the smoke stack. Not possible to play and sure why the court even exists.
On day 2 I went to the Fitness ...
We chose this ship due to the high prices on cruises these days. Princess was reasonable not the cheapest but okay for the ports.
Ship is older but clean. Many areas of deferred Maintenace while it listed as being refurbed it needs another one soon and much updating. I did enjoy my cruise mostly because the crew was so fun to be around. The entertainment seemed board with their jobs. the ...
I never thought I would write this kind of review for a cruise vacation (and this was my 10th cruise), but Caribbean Princess made the impossible possible with a terrible experience in every aspect.
Found a good itinerary with Caribbean Princess? Better ignore it as the captain will make sure you skip as many ports as possible. In our case, 2 OUT 4 (!) ports got cancelled due to "strong" winds. ...
We chose princess cruises because we had an agent LIE to us from the start and made it seem like we were getting a great deal and all these amazing savings and packages, only to find out that it was all a lie and we never got anything we were told and weren’t refunded for anything the agent told us. 3rd and 4th guest sail free lie! Kids sail free lie. My 3 year old paid full price for a cruise ...
The Emerald Princess is a roomy ship with plenty of outdoor space. I was most impressed with all of the staff. Shows were great. I did notice some cutbacks in the choices of food in the MDR. Overall, it was a great trip. Plenty of daily actives and enjoyed the pool at the back of the ship. Our third trip on the Emerald, we had never gone thru the Panama Canal or been to the ports of Huatulco, ...
Choose this 3 day cruise from Melbourne to Sydney in order to use our cruise credit from a cancelled 2020 cruise. We were very happy that Princess had extended the period in which to use the credit. We chose a Club class Mini Suite with the Princess Plus package.
The Good
Embarkation was so quick & easy. We had already uploaded all required documents onto the Medallion App as requested. ...
My wife and I sailed on Royal Princess Cruise 15 Nights to Hawaii from San Francisco (27 Mar – 11 Apr) I am Elite Captain’s Circle Member.
Our Cabin Steward was excellent Elizalde. Also special praise for Mr Xavier (Guest Service Director) who was extremely helpful with a major issue I had with the Coffee Card/Elite Benefits.
Let me start by saying that Royal Princess Cruise Ship is ...
