We chose this cruise because of the dates it went out.
We forgot that it was school vacation and that there would be so many children on board.
Most of the children, the parents took very good care of them, but there were a few that the kids, especially two little girls kept running around the halls and bar area, dragging on the floor. The bartenders had to keep telling them to please not ...
Did our homework and considered several options for a "skipping Christmas Cruise" Chose this ship because of the ports -- particularly St Thomas as it gave us time to go to St John and visit family as well as the convenience to Ft Lauderdale.
Beautiful ship and lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. Would recommend the mini-suite over the balcony room because larger room and bathroom but ...
Our holiday cruise on the Regal Princess matches the reviews I read. It's a very pretty ship, super clean and well-maintained. The food is very good. The shows are really amazing, better than I thought they would be. The small cabins serve their purpose well enough. The attitude of the crew is pretty good, with a few odd or unpleasant incidences in our 7 night cruise. The daily activities, sports ...
Wonderful holiday cruise on the Regal. The holiday cruise had two formal dining nights. My group enjoyed the food and the atmosphere on the ship.
Just a touch about the average for service and care by the staff. The 7 day cruise to St Thomas and St Martin was a good trip. The people of the ship were friendly and in the holiday mood. I know carnival is cheaper but I would say you will be happy ...
We wanted to go to Antarctica for an affordable price and were excited when Princess started offering trips there again after 8 years. We took our 2 kids (ages 6 and 8) and my brother even brought his 1 year old daughter.
Pros:
1) Antarctica is truly beautiful and amazing.
2) The Falkland Islands were great and the tours are all in personal vehicles so you get a very small group as you ...
Short summary - My wife and I will cruise princess again, we have already started looking at options for late 2020. Cruising is quite different from the way we normally vacation, and that is okay. Cruising will not replace our long-haul flight jaunts but will add a much-needed supplement to our often exhausting vacations. We had an amazing time at our own pace.

Embarkation and Disembarkation
As Elite members, embarkation was a breeze. We did not obtain our Medallions in advance, because we figured the priority line wouldn’t be too long and we were right. On our last cruise, we did obtain our Medallions in advance and it was a lot of fiddling to get them done, plus we had to remember to pack them. The non-priority lines were much longer, so may be ...
After reading reviews for a few months ahead of our first cruise with Princess, I thought I would post about my personal experience.
Island Princess, Christmas in the Panama Canal . A bucket list tick cruise for many. One of the smaller princess ships, built in 2003, remodelled in 2015.
Boarding was flawless. We left our Fort Lauderdale hotel at 11am by cab. We were ordering coffee onboard ...
We recently returned from a 10-day cruise to the Panama Canal on the Island Princess. There were several things that made this cruise special – a Birthday celebration, getting together with over 38 family members/friends, and just the opportunity to spend Christmas on the high seas. However, without the overall excellent service provided by the staff the trip wouldn’t have been as wonderful as it ...
Wanted to experience the new locks of the Panama Canal and enjoy some sunshine over the Christmas Season.
We have cruised with Princess 5 times previously and agree with other reviewers that the atmosphere is slipping. Our room steward was fabulous but the Anytime dining servers are generally too rushed and the officers appeared stressed and were not friendly or helpful. In general all the ...
