We embarked in the World Cruise Port in San Pedro, California. It was very fast and easy which was great. We had received our Medallions by mail, so it made it quick. I had bought 4 airtag wristbands online and they fit the Medallions perfectly.
The Crown is not one of the new Princess ships, but she is wonderful just the same. Everything was kept clean and polished, and I enjoyed the wood and ...
We so looked forward to an epic journey all round Australia, but what was sold to us as a 28 day cruise all round Australia, turned out to be a number of cruises joined together which meant a lot of repeats . One of the highlights for us was to visit Hobart and this was cancelled as was the visit to Busselton and Margaret river. Brisbane is a problem as the cruise port has no public transport so a ...
Changes are noticeable on my first cruise after covid…
the personal attention is missing. All was good but not what it used to be.
1. State room attention limited(wanted to shampoo carpet while i was onshore)
no personal shampoos etc.
Daily room clean up limited
2. Room service - food was just not as good & limited.
3. Restaurant -i enjoyed most of my dinners ...
to start with our room carpet was dirty-and someone craped in toilet to leave us a gift ,apparently this was not cleaned prior to us getting room. the first port of call was there private island where they ran out of hamburger buns. The second night in dinning room the food was terrible and service almost as bad. The same thing the second visit dining room . I purchased a ring for my wife and ...
This was a bucket list trip for me. We embarked in Buenos Aires and took it all the way to Los Angeles, around Cape Horn. The scenery around Cape Horn is truly spectacular. The cruise was 32 days.
Even though my wife and I are in our early 70s, I think we were probably younger than the average passenger on the ship. There was one family that had two children. If there were other children ...
The embarkation process was fast, but then we had to wait because the ship was being sanitized due to a norovirus outbreak on the previous cruise. (We did not have an outbreak on our cruise.) Our room (B3** balcony room) was comfortable. The bathroom was small, but the shower was tiny. I don't know how a large person could take a shower comfortably. My 6'2" husband had difficulties. The ...

On March 30, 2022, we booked Princess cruise tour H304/ 19 days – from 1/30 to 2/20/2023 includes flight times, for (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile). Following is our personal experience with Princess. We choose Princess since we have journeyed with them before, with happy experience. This time it was unpleasant experience, and I rate them “C”.
Our reasons are ...
Never intended to fill out a review, but after calling and filling out Princess' official form repeatedly over the past two months to obtain a post-cruise survey... here we are. Sadly, my original intent was to give accolades to our dinner servers (in hopes that they would receive a day off), but it doesn't look like that will happen.
We decided to book a crew last minute after our house ...
We were on the 32 day "Andes and Cape Horn Grand Adventure" cruise around S. America. It was a very enjoyable cruise with a relaxed pace. Many of the port stops are at commercial ports/cities with not a lot to see; you have to travel to see the main cities/sites. Unfortunately, this was not communicated and understood.
The ship is due to go in to drydock for maintenance shortly after the cruise ...
We chose this cruise as it was doing 2 weeks without a trip back to Florida, it wasn't a bad choice. We travelled as a group of 9 which we do every couple of years.
I know the Emerald Princess is one of the older ships and it is showing its age but we had a nice time.
Cabin
We had an inside cabin on Baja deck and was looked after by Christina. I think we had 1 of the refurbished cabins ...
