This was my 10th cruise, but my first on Princess, my first ever visit to Alaska and the first cruise that didn’t require air travel (which also typically requires a day or two of hotel on each side as well). It was also my first non-warm weather cruise. Seven of my previous nine cruises were on Carnival, one was on NCL and one was on Louis in Greece.
Overall, the cruise was very nice. Like ...
We chose this cruise because it was round trip from San Pedro, Ca - we did not have to fly to board the ship. Easy embarkation and debarkation.
The most positive experience of/on this cruise were the terrific crew members. They were all extremely friendly, helpful, and smiling all the time. They made you feel very welcome.
We were in a Club Class Mini Suite, Dolphin Deck. Our steward, ...
Let me say that this was not what I expected after all the money I spent to have a relaxing time. First, let me say that there should be a disclaimer to let people know that this line caters to senior citizens. I’m not knocking the elderly at all but less then 5% of the guest on this ship was under 50 years of age. For me and my opinion it was a nursing home at sea. Let me put it this way, the ...
I have always wanted to see the Islands, my daughter passed in December and her heritage is fraternal side is Hawaiian. The cruise started off at LA port we were with the wheelchairs as my sister has had 2 back surgery's and Knee replacement also can not feel her legs so anytime up slants is dangerous for her. While waiting were informed most people didn't need this help only used to get at front ...
This was my first cruise to Hawaii and the longest cruise I have been on. The ship was beautiful, the rooms spacious and comfortable. Some don’t care for the medallion, but I find it so convenient, you have your arms full and approach your door, it unlocks, it does everything and more than the card does.
The entertainment was sadly lacking both in variety and what they offered. They had only ...
We were in a mini suite on Dolphin deck …we had water ingress through the balcony after rain but Mr Fixit came with his trolley and repairs were done asap . Well done! Our stateroom steward Romella was delightful ….our room was attended to while we were at breakfast without fail ! The bed was so comfortable as were the pillows. Lots of storage and hanging space and the bathroom was quite spacious ...
*Princess contacted us as the previous cruise had been cancelled. (BNE to BNE)
They offered BNE to Syd, we declined. The first red flag was when we were given a 'personal cruise advisor, not in Australia but the US' What?
The time zone made it impossible for us to communicate at a suitable time. Messages constantly missed, therefore had to wait for the next opportunity to speak. This ...
I expected this to be "dated," but was pleasantly surprised with how beautifully appointed everything was. The artwork throughout the ship and in all restaurants and stairwells was beautiful and the piazza was a lovely place to enjoy the ambience. Lots of hot tub options, our favourite one was at the back on the top. The entertainment was top-notch, the food and drink incredible (we loved the 24K ...
We're Elite with Princess, Club/Reserve Mini Suite Level and sail with them 2-3 times a year and just returned from a 7 day Calif Costal Cruise. I have no problem rating Guest Service at 5 Stars throughout this cruise and our 2 previous cruises in 2022.
Despite having access to the Club/Reserve Dinning Room, we've noticed that since the Covid reopening Princess's food quality and variety has ...
This was our first cruise with Princess and the first embarking from San Francisco. What a nightmare that was, we were scheduled to leave from the regular Pier 27 but the night before was told we were at Pier 35 which is just an old Pier. We did all check ins ahead of time and were told to arrive at 12 for a 12 to 12:30 assigned time. We got there a bit early only to find out they still hadn't ...
