My husband had never been to Hawaii so we chose this cruise. His biggest complaint on this ship is that the casino had not poker table.
It mostly met our expectations. The food was good, but not outstanding. The service in our dining room was excellent. It was sometimes slow at breakfast. The size of the buffet was small so therefore there was very little variety.
The crowd was mostly older. ...
We chose this cruise because we have sailed to Hawaii five times previously and we love all the sea days. It is also a great way to get a taste of the islands: Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii. As an added bonus, our favorite Hawaiian ambassadors Brian and Rowena Vasquez were onboard, teaching ukulele, hula and a wide variety of Hawaiian-themed crafts. They embody the Spirit of Aloha and really ...
This was my first cruise ever. I decided to accompany my mother and sister as the price was reasonable. I have been somewhat of a skeptic of cruises, but after this experience I am somewhat of a convert.
The pre-cruise customer service was awful to put it mildly. We used a EU based distributor for the booking. In terms of flights and hotels they could only suggest Princess's offerings, which ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary. We liked the diverse ports. None really disappointed. Dubrovnik was a last minute substitution for Valletta. We really liked Croatia! Some ports I would like to return for a longer time, like Dubrovnik and Kotor. We were blessed with great weather. We did purchase the sanctuary for an at sea day. We liked the peaceful atmosphere and shade. It is an ...
We have sailed over 300 days on Princess ships and chose to take this as the Royal Princess is a "Royal Class Princess ship" sailing out of San Francisco. No question it is a beautiful ship, spotlessly clean. We had had earlier experience in 2022 on Regal Princess in Europe and expected the same standard on the ROYAL Princess. To our complete and utter dismay we were in for a huge disappointment ...
We saw this was available and matched up with our planned cruise so booked on the spur of the moment. We managed to get the same cabin however we were upgraded to a mini suite at the last minute for this short time. Getting onto the ship was easy in Sydney, the train takes you directly from the airport to Circular Quay where the ship docks. Smooth boarding. COVID safe, masks inside at all times ...
First cruise since Pandemic. First cruise with Princess. Boarding at OPT, Sydney extremely efficient. Despite being lowest level of loyalty, on board within 15mins and rooms were ready at 12.45. Guarantee balcony cabin. Assigned A632 AFT cabin on Aloha deck. Cabin very nice. Great view from balcony. Queen bed extremely comfy. Plenty of space. Desk & chair but no couch. Balcony had two ...
Round trip out of Vancouver with 4 ports. Embarkment was a nightmare 3 1/2 hrs of mostly standing in line. This was a perfect itinerary for a group of 12. The ship was scheduled for dry dock immediately after we returned so wasn’t sure what to expect. The Bottecelli DR was noisy due to engine issues but other than that, didn’t notice any issues that were serious enough to ruin a cruise. We had 2 ...
24/9 to 8/10/22. Barcelona to Athens 14 nights. This was the first time we had taken the cruise line flight & transfer package, it will also be our last. Flight landed at 14.20 hrs, still sitting on the bus waiting to leave the airport at 16.20 hrs. Told the bus driver (who not speak english) to remove our luggage from the coach and that we were going by taxi, he made a phone call and we left ...
Got home yesterday from our 10 day cruise to the California coast on the Crown. This was my second cruise with Princess. After the first one, I wasn't sure I would cruise with them again as I found the ship, the Emerald Princess that time, extremely crowded. However, I have to say this cruise was much more pleasant. We had a great time, lots of fun and met the most wonderful people.
It ...
