This was the third Alaska cruise that I have taken with Princess Cruises. We were on the Crown Princess on the Lido deck. We cruised with my parents and Adult children. My parents and my husband and I had no problems with our room but our kids room was ‘broken’. The a/c didn’t work, after 2 days of trying to fix it they gave them a fan. Carpet coming off of wall, gross stuff growing on the balcony ...
We chose this cruise because of the wonderful ports of call in AK and CAN. We ended up with fantastic weather which made the cruise even better. We had extended time in most of the ports of call. Our favorites were Juneau, Ketchikan, and Victoria. Icy Strait Point does not offer a lot if not doing an excursion. The town of Hoonah is close by, but transportation there and back was challenging (no ...
A second world cruise this one to celebrate retirement and selling my business at 73. Compared to 2011 the list of changes makes for a ho-hum experience. The major is that Princess has gone back on their Loyalty Programme that I joined 15 years ago, The major is that elite was promised free internet and now have to pay. That cost me 1000 dollars additional, Perhaps I would have reluctantly ...
Overall Princess knows how to visit Alaska and they do it well. The itinerary was wonderful, Sitka, Haines, Glacier Bay, Juneau and the not so wonderful Prince Rupert. The voyage was rough going but fortunately neither of us gets motion sickness, we enjoyed walking the empty outside decks and really blustery FRESH AIR. This was a full ship.
Embarkation in San Francisco was a breeze. We headed ...
This was a bucket list item for husband and I. It was our 3rd Princess cruise. The Royal Princess is a beautiful ship. But our cruise was a bit disappointing. First, the weather was bad. No one's fault and we did choose May. The scenery is very beautiful. We hardly saw any wildlife which is, again, no one's fault but disappointing. Our hike in Juneau was canceled; we weren't given a ...
I'm writing this review of my (very first non-Carnival!) cruise aboard the Emerald Princess. This was a 5 day cruise with 2 days (an overnight) in Cabo from 5/27/23 to 6/2/23.
I will preface this review by confessing that I am a regular cruiser on Carnival; I am not bougie and didn't really have any high expectations for this trip, although I've heard, of course, that Princess is classier and ...

Alaska was beautiful. As far as the cruise part of it, the food was not impressive at all. The flavor was just not there. Many items were not labeled. For people with food allergies or being vegetarian, that can be a problem. The things that were supposed to be in my parents stateroom were not provided ( toilet riser and hand held shower nozzle) The entertainment was just ok. The entertainment and ...
This was our 12th cruise on Princess. We were on the Royal Princess, a beautiful ship. We were booked in a mini-suite, mid-ship deck 10. Great location, close to everything. From the time we arrived at the pier we were onboard in about 40 minutes. There was some confusion about what to do with luggage but it was resolved and everyone was on there way to the ship.
We were onboard early but ...
We chose this cruise because it was a complete transit of the Panama Canal. The cruise had 5 stops plus a full day transiting the canal. Stops were Puerto Vallarta and Huatulco, Mexico; Puntarenas, Costa Rica; Panama City, Panama; and Cartagena, Columbia.
We booked local tours through Travel Advisor for all ports but Puntarenas which we booked through Princess. The Princess tour in ...
