Princess Romantic Cruises Reviews

We took the 14 day New Zealand cruise from Brisbane on 4th December 2023. Worrying about reviews written about the age and state of the ship we were pleasantly surprised. As it is older the corridors are wider, and we weren’t packed in like sardines. The carpet is just like that in the RSL clubs. We took Aloha mini suite. Whilst it not as wide as others the rounded balcony has the best views by ...

My first thoughts were: 'Hey, maybe they're having an off week? Then I grudgingly and reluctantly agreed that it was more than just one or two or three things that were off. That being said, boarding in Galveston got started off late, with standing in line for 48 minutes outside before making into the building. This was accompanied by hollering porters, rental security agents, and third party ...

My wife and I and another couple who joined us, had New Zealand on our bucket list and found the cruise itinerary to be very interesting. I have to say the embarkation and debarkation process was outstanding, including going on port calls. Princess has that down pat. We only wish the amount of staff was available throughout the ship. We loved our room and our cabin steward. We have never been ...

We enjoyed the itinerary or ports of call visited. Cartagena and going through the Panama Canal were the highlights. I would suggest that the descriptions of the excursions include how long the bus rides are. We spent 3 hours in a bus going to the Rain forest in Costa Rica and saw only birds and lizards/frogs at the destination. We did see monkeys and a sloth during the ride there. The ...

The entertainment was good with a variety. Not lot of options for the mid aged crowd unless you wanted to go to the sky club at 11p. Food was average, I was not used to having to book each dinner meal ahead of time so ended up dining late when there was a free table. Princess Cays was beautiful! The medallions were convenient with hands free door unlock. There were many frequent sailors on this ...

Summary: Great Service. Shabby Ship. Mediocre Food. Awful "Premium" Desserts. "Casual Dining" impossible to get. We went on this cruise as part of a group of about 180 adults. 14th cruise overall. First cruise on Princess. Our package came with a mini-suite and the Princess Plus Package upgrade with unlimited beverages, pre-paid gratuities, and WiFi (but just the OLD version, before ...

Recently, my wife and I took the October 28 sailing to Canada and New England on EMERALD PRINCESS. Overall, it was a very nice, relaxing trip. Here’s the skinny: Embarkation in Brooklyn. We entered the Brooklyn cruise terminal at 12:28 in the afternoon, and because we had the “Green Lane” we stepped on board the ship 12 minutes later at 12:40. Without doubt, this was the easiest and quickest ...

I have done many cruises with Princess, and the Royal, which is now in Australia for the first time was a big disappointment. Not the crew, they were great as usual, but the cabin set up - no USB ports at all, two USA powerpoints and one European one. Everyone has a mobile phone - have to to use the Medallian app - but no where to charge it! Breakfast had the most choices in the buffet - ...

Balcony room was great, no issues at all. Though we did hear a few stories from other peoples cabins - no air conditioning, no hot water.. Bed was super comfortable, shower was great.. Food in the Horizon Court was always luke warm, and some surprsing omissions like plain biscuits. MDR menu was not vegetarian friendly, very limited options. Service throughout was excellent. Really ...

Ruby Princess needs a complete overhaul of her plumbing etc. There were extensive problems with toilets not working, flooding in some cabins and even the kitchen got flooded. There was a fire in the crew area on the last night as well as a sudden listing to one side. Several people were picked up by ambulances when we got to Ft Lauderdale in the morning. Don't know what that was related ...
