We chose this 10-day cruise because of the US and Canadian east coast itinerary.
We gave this cruise a “three” rating because of the entire cruise experience, from leaving our home, the cruise and the trip back to our home. To be fair to Princess cruise line, Hurricane Fiona decided to create havoc to the schedule. We were only able to visit three of our seven scheduled ports because of ...
I want to thank Princess Cruises for removing any desire I might have to go on future cruises after my experience on Emerald Princess. I was shocked at how bad the overall service was compared to the other dozen cruises we have been on.
One example of poor service was the dining and beverage service. My wife and I ordered the Soda Package and to get a soda while you dined you had to tell a ...
This was our first cruise with Princess, and my second cruise ever (the first cruise was with Carnival in 2005). Re traveled aboard the Ruby Princess, to the Pacific Northwest. The ship is extremely seaworthy and very beautiful.
I have read a lot of negative reviews prior to the cruise, and wanted to post a different review to ease concerns others reading these reviews may have.
My only ...
Took friends on a 12 day of Alaska to show them the advantages of ocean cruising and show off Alaska.
Ship was in good shape, staff was excellent, food ok, entertainment ok with a couple of excellent people. Mechanical issues caused us to leave in the middle of the night causing us to miss Icy Strait Point, our whale watching port. The Endicott Arm scenic cruising was a fabulous day. ...
From the moment we stepped onto the ship, we received excellent service by every crew member we encountered. Yes, the ship is a little older and a little smaller than others, but that did not deter from our experience. We had a full suite which was clean and spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed the Club Class Dining which came with that. The food was mostly delicious - a few misses now and then - ...
We wanted to hit the most ports that interested us in a three-week period. We had 3 weeks of history and exploring. The only thing we were disappointed in was the entertainment was the same and the menu did not vary from week to week. I expected the menu would vary based on the country we were visiting. But that didn't happen. There weren't enough local dishes for the area we were traveling. ...
We are avid cruisers We have only been on
One Princess cruise.
Good
Staff on a whole was great
Room was adequate but the shower was very small and the curtain was bad design
Food was good only one meal we couldn’t eat The dining room staff are very receptive
Excursions were hit and miss
Canada is simply not yet prepared for tourist
The bravo show was ...
This was our 6th cruise with Princess after a 7-year hiatus due to issues we had with the last Princess cruise we took. But this itinerary was appealing so we decided to give Princess another chance.
The ship was in fine shape for its age, having been refurbished in 2019. We always get a mini-suite, and it was also in good shape. The bed was very comfortable. The bathtub was a little dated ...
This was my husband's and my honeymoon and our travel agent had arranged for extras for our stateroom. When we arrived NOTHING had been done. Also, while the room was kept up, it was like a hotel, no animals or anything made out of towels, bed wasn't turned back, no extras as with other cruises.
The buffet food was so undesirable it was known by the people on the ship as the "trough"! The food ...
First time cruiser. We did a pile of research and determined that Mrs. Cruiser and I wanted to be on Princess on the southbound sailing from Whittier through the Alaska Glaciers (Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay). We also stopped at Sitka (Skagway was closed), Juneau, and Ketchikan.
All in all, everything was done very well by Princess. Embarkation was very smooth, but in Whittier, there was no ...
