Princess Romantic Cruises Reviews

Embarkation: Embarkation was a total nightmare. We arrived at the port to be directed to a line that took an hour literally only to drop our bags off with the porters/longshoreman. We had pre-ordered our medallions; so, from that point, the process was very smooth and fast... maybe 15 minutes. Cabin: The Crown OV cabins are smaller than OV cabins on other lines/ships we have sailed and ...

My family was looking for a good cruise line to take on a trip to Alaska and decided to use princess cruise line. My disappointment with this cruiseline began day one of our 7 day cruise. My boyfriend has a pacemaker, he can not have any magnetic or electromagnetic interference with his device. We went through security to get on the ship no problem, when boarding we were given a lanyard with a ...

We’ve done 4 Princess cruises in the past year with very good results, but this was an odd exception. We chose the cruise because of its attractive British Isles itinerary, and the itinerary was indeed very good. But unlike other Princess cruises, the food in the main dining rooms were of poor quality with very limited selection. The service was slow and sloppy, and the maitre d’s seldom smiled or ...

This review is for the 33 day cruise, not just the part the CC system would recognize. I chose this cruise because it went to a much desired destination: Longyearbyen (Svalbard), an island north of the Arctic Circle belonging to Norway. I booked in February when I saw I could book a 33 day cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale to Southhampton to Norway and back to Southhampton. Not long after final ...

I recently went on an Alaska cruise tour, 7 day cruise with a 4 day land tour, Princess is cutting corners, from the selection and quality of their food to adding bogus charges on your account. They have a big sign on your door to swipe your medallion and win prizes. What they fail to mention is if you swipe your medallion you get a $50 casino charge on your account. The food in the main dining ...

While the Princess Regal is a beautiful clean ship with above standard cabin rooms, it completely crashes on guest services. The Medallion feature is the best feature. It makes travel on and off quick, it makes paying for specialty drinks quick and makes finding your group onboard simple. However I purchased the bracelet at an extra fee for my daughter but at check in her bag was empty, The ...

We were not pleased with our cruise and thought maybe we had a one-off experience but after reading through some of the other reviews it seems others expressed similarities on how we felt about our cruise experience. Others had a different sail date and location so appears the experience is not limited to our specific cruise. I have been on 5 cruises (including the one i am writing the review ...

This is my third Princess cruise, second with the medallion app. Last October on the Discovery we thought we were just having bad luck with their technology, but its failure this time around can’t be a coincidence. Trying to upload documents before the cruise was a joke, and it took sitting on hold for TWO HOURS to speak to a live human being to resolve it. We finally got that taken care of, and ...

We had to use cruise credits and didn't want to fly anywhere so it was really easy (we thought) going out of San Francisco as it is only an hour from our house and we can take the Vallejo Ferry to San Francisco. Great Ferry ride over the bay and called Lyft to take us to the Pier which is just under a mile. Took 35 minutes in the car as traffic was so bad (great driver though). Finally got to ...

This cruise was quite telling about the degree of cutbacks Princess is implementing trying to regain financial stability at the expense of decreasing the quality of goods and services provided. At first, it did not make too much of a difference in not having any stationary or writing instrument in the cabin but then the soap bars disappeared. Now with the new medallions for the medallion class ...
