We’ve been on several Princess cruises and we can see things are on the decline. Service was not as good as what it was before. Most times while eating in the buffet we had to get our own beverages, rarely did anyone ever offer and when they did we waited 15-20 minutes for the drinks to arrive.
The food selection and quality has declined. The buffet also closes and hour earlier than what ...
This was our first Princess Cruise, a 14 day Circle the Caribbean from Ft. Lauderdale in March, 2023. The Emerald Princess and crew were great. But Princess Cruises is so poor and irresponsible with their accounting we won't be sailing with Princess again. Just too risky and they have proven untrustworthy with out money even when they put things in writing. (Details below).
The cruise itself ...
This was a trip for a family group of nine, brothers and sisters and partners in 50's / 60's.
Previously, we have sailed with both P&O and more with Celebrity. All past experience was pre-covid.
Generally, we enjoyed the trip, which isn't exactly surprising as it's no hardship being on a cruise around the Caribbean. However, this, our first experience of Princess, left a little to be ...
Entertainment was hit and miss. More misses. The Hawaiian couple were very talented. Not only performing each day but even teaching ukulele and hula to passengers with a presentation at the end. The ship singers and dancers performed 2 shows over a 15 day cruise, really? The other nights were comedians, magicians, and game shows. The destination and subject matter speakers were good, even if ...
I'm an Elite passenger with Princess and have been a strong supporter of the line for many years. I chose the cruise mainly due to the dates as it was one of only a few offerings in March for 10+ days.
Though the staff couldn't have been nicer, nor more professional, the ship itself suffers from some areas of neglect and Princess would be wise to make the needed upgrades. Just to name a few, ...
Hi going on a Panama Cruise is quite limiting in the choice of ships you can take.
We did chose a mini balcony suite on the Port side of the Carribbean Princess to see the best views of the canal crossing. They said the boat was renovated but it certainly could use another renovation, its just not modern or have any notable modern rooms or artwork. The balcony advertised to be much larger is ...
First trip after Covid, shut down. Princess appeared to be quite genuine about trying to control Covid transmission on their ship. Easy to get to in Brisbane by driving and parking.
Their different graded lane embarkation method appeared to offer the prospect of a quick, easy and healthy (in these Covid days of not being 1.5m apart). But sadly this was not the case no GREEN lane for faster ...
Our review is based solely on our personal observation on this 15 day cruise. For us, never again will we take that long of a cruise. The main reason is that the guests are generally seniors,, We are 65 and 68 and we found most people considerably older than us and many have never heard the word restraint when using perfumes and other scented products. By day 10 my allergies were through ...
This was our 23rd cruise with princess. First time on the Crown. This is also the first time we were disappointed in a cruise.
Embarkation was smooth and efficient. My wife had wheelchair assist from the terminal door to our cabin door. We even got scanned for location of muster station on way to cabin, saving a trip later. Our balcony Baja deck cabin was all the way aft on the Starboard side. ...
We took our first cruise in 2009 and have done another 12 since then. Seven of them have been with Princess, and we would always recommend Princess to anyone who asked. Sadly, that isn't the case any more. We have done two Princess cruises since the pandemic ended, and on the previous cruise we were getting the impression that cutbacks had been made, however our views were coloured by the fact ...
