We elected to go on a cruise as it seemed like the easiest way to experience Alaska. From that perspective, this cruise met our needs. The Alaskan ports offered good opportunities to experience the beautiful sights of Alaska. Still, the experience is downgraded by the touristy, completely overcrowded downtowns of the ports themselves. The downtowns seem to be mostly staffed by temporary summer ...
Terrible customer service on phone and many on ship. Older ship, needs updating. Room had an odor. Carpet, bedakirt and outlets outdated. It needs a good overhaul. Food subpar. Not much for gluten and dairy free options. They were not enthused about my food intolerances and ut ahowes. Karoke outdated. App disn't work half of my cruise. Wifi overall good but sometimes hard to connect to.. They ...
This was my third Princess cruise, and this boat should not have 4.5/5 stars. It’s really worn with marked up and beat up furniture, musty hallway carpet, and rusted railings.
We had a mini suite and I felt transported to season 10 of the original Love Boat—in the 80s.
The crew wasn’t as friendly as previous voyages, they all seemed exhausted. Many of the services I liked on previous ships ...
Currently sailing on the Sapphire Princess for a 7 day northbound sailing.
We have previously sailed with Holland America and Disney Cruise Line
Impressions so far:
Embarkation:
- we boarded at approximately 2:00pm. The process was swift and clear.
- Once on the ship, we were told to go to the incorrect deck for our cabin. We wandered around for approximately 20 minutes. No staff to ...
Timing and a great itinerary leaving from Southampton made me choose The Island Princess. I came on it solo and am a ballroom dancer and was hoping to meet other like-minded people. Sadly I have to say I have been very very disappointed and what could have been a great cruise has come out, in my opinion, below all the other four cruise lines, Cunard, Fred Olsen, MSC and P&O, I have travelled ...
t I travel with my partner Janet. We chose this cruise for the itinerary. 33 days with ports in Iceland and Norway. The Island Princess seemed to be the perfect way to visit the northern ports and June the perfect season to do so. This is not the review I had hoped to write when we made the reservations. The disappointment was not with the itinerary, but the ship. No, not even the ship, but ...
We have sailed the Ruby twice in the past year (two different itineraries) and are sad to report that it has continuously gotten worse. The other negative reviews you see below, for the Ruby, are not lying. The ship's condition, staff, and dining needs a major overhaul. We are Captain's Circle Platinum so I am not just being biased to another cruise line when I write this negative review. This ...
We were so very disappointed with this cruise from the outset to our return!
First, the princess app was the first disappointment. it oftentimes did not work and was ineffective. we tried doing everything right the first time to avoid any problems, but management of the app was just not on top of things. (a) i could not get my grandson into the green lane; i called several times, and we were ...
Several things were done well on this cruise but the worn out bed and the flavorless, poorly cooked food spoiled the experience. Embarkation in Southampton was a breeze. The ship public spaces are lovely and kept spotless. The crew were are quite polite. The bed was very poor, so a good night's sleep was not to be had.
The food in the main dining room was undercooked (pasta), overcooked ...
I had relatively low expectations having just gone on a Disney Cruise in March. However, Princess somehow found a way to make exceed the sadness of all my expectations.
The one thing I did enjoy was the excursions, but since they were not technically Princess Excursions, I'm not going to credit them for it.
First and foremost, a cruise should always be about the food. Unfortunately the food ...
