Took this cruise to get away from the hud-bub prior to Christmas and the non stop shopping and headaches.
Theatre movies on board are 1st run, good quality and throughout the day and evening on the outdoor screen. The late night movie has comfortable lounge chairs, blankets and popcorn.
Indoor movies also available in the Vista lounge....bring a blanket, they chill the room like a ...
One of our bucket list items was to visit New Zealand, overall the cruise was good and we visited some great places. Only downside is the excursions booking thru Princess are to expensive so l would suggest to anyone book once you go ashore at destinations and you will save a lot of money. Food and dining was good with great wait staff who where friendly and helpful. The Ruby Princess is a ship ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary.
Being in a suite, we received many on board perks which included having an extended room service menu which we utilised for breakfast on 3 occasions. We also ate breakfast in The Crown Grill 3 times, another suite advantage, the service there was excellent. However we opted to eat in Club Class Dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner most of the ...
We selected this cruise because of the destination (i.e., new Panama Canal) and timing (Winter). We have crossed the old Panama Canal in the Coral Princess some time ago. Adding the new Canal excursion to cross to the Pacific (in the Caribbean Princess) in a boat was great! We got both new and old experiences of passage, fortuitously. We left Syracuse just as Winter snows were upon us! Despite the ...
Reason for cruise was bucket list destination of the Panama Canal - Princess choice based on value with solid reputation for good food and entertainment which we have experienced on prior Princess Cruises, which did not disappoint on this one; however have noted a decline in food quality, type and variety in buffet since previous cruises with them - Elite status for this cruise. Was older ship ...
My husband and I wanted to see the Panama Canal. Overall the trip was satisfactory. The staff were wonderful. My only objection was that some of the ports were not much to visit unless you were going on a tour. We found that many of the tours were too expensive. The best port was Cartagena, Columbia. It had a small park with exotic birds and a free shuttle. I wanted to go on this cruise ...
First of all my loyalty level with Princess is Elite so I have sailed with them numerous times. I just retuned from a Dec. 10 - Dec. 20, 2019 cruise on Caribbean Princess. We had a great time. We had two mini suites next door to each other. We loved eating in the main dining room and find it much better food than the buffet. The buffet setup encourages people to overeat. We ate at the Crown ...
Chose this cruise to see Panama Canal. Had the opportunity to see some South American countries for the first time. Stops at ports were a great experience for the entire family. We will take Princess Cruise again in next two years. Shore excursions were set up in an orderly manner. Easy to get on and off ship unlike Carnival that is a free for all. Free movies to watch plus we watched the ...
With only the Royal in port, easy to go around loop and park. Check in only slow waiting for security. Once through, it was easy to get on board quickly. Our cabin was ready and all was clean as expected.
The ship is in very good shape, no problems with room or any place we went. Ate in dining room the first night, for some reason they had separated the table for four, so we ate alone. The ...
Great cruise for a short period.
One of the nicest Princess cruise ships I have been on so far. We have cruised 15 times and 5 different lines.
We had a Mini suite on the Riviera deck which was as depicted. However, the Princess line has gone to Mini Suites with balcony size equal to a standard balcony cabin. Overall the balcony was small. You could sit out there, but forget about ...
