THE CRUISE
This was our 19th Alaska cruise and unfortunately the worst weatherwise. We have had beautiful weather on many of our previous cruises and only had three days of rain on all of those. This one made up for the good ones of the past with rain everywhere and biting cold winds. Well, that’s Alaska, you have to take the bad with the good.
CHECK IN PROCESS
We were through the check ...
We wanted to go to Alaska, and trip was convient, leaving and returning to San Franciso. I had previously traveled with Princess, but over 10 years ago. More recently with other carriers. We chose this date to see Glacier Bay. The itinerary and service did not disappoint.
The menu descriptions were very appealing, but the food was not. The buffet had items like roasted potatoes and others ...
Lots of British stops we haven't been to so picked this cruise.
Medallion App doesn't work every time so easiest thing to ring Princess before you sail to set up you info, and once aboard, if you order more than one drink at a time , even if you have the drinks package, you get billed for the drinks- have to go to reception to remove payment.
Embarkation a doddle - 10 min from arriving at ...
This was our 10th Cruise, and we enjoyed Princess on two previous cruises. So we decided on this cruise because
of previous satisfaction with Princess and for not having a lot of SeaDays and the amount of time in Port, every port.
Firstly, they have to make the Medallion method more user friendly. After using this system, I don't know how this is any better than any previous systems of ...
We had taken an Alaskan cruise on Princess back in 2019 and wanted to take our grown children and their spouses on one because it was so wonderful. I had shared all my excitement with our kids and talked them into trying a Princess Cruise. I was embarrassed as to how this cruise came nowhere near lining up in any way with what I had promised them based on our previous one. Don't know if I'll take ...
Family of 4, Mini suite cabin M 227 on deck 15. 3rd time cruising with Princess. As from our first day we had an issue with water pressure from our bath shower. We raised our concern for this issue 3 times in 2 days with front desk office where upon the 3rd complaint, water pressure got slightly better. Our cabin with the exception of our bathroom, was quite comfortable and was kept really tidy ...
1. Issues you are probably wondering about: a) Noise/shaking in the aft-Yes, there was a bit of shaking, but we hardly noticed it. Our cabin, however, was forward. So, I do recommend a forward/mid-forward cabin until she dry docks in Oct. 2022. No, the shaking or rattle is not constant and did not affect our cruise. We ate in Da Vinci dining room (midship) and also did not feel any rattle 99% of ...

10 Children - The absolute, hands-down, best aspect of this particular cruise is the conspicuous absence of children. Perhaps only 5% of families brought along their offspring, which in and of itself, makes this cruise well worth booking
9 Crew/ Staff - The Royal’s staff are excellently trained, superbly competent, tireless and circumspectly vigilant. Perhaps the ...
I ,we are just a sailing or two away from becoming elite members. We have sailed Royal Caribbean a few times with families but have remained loyal to Princess over the years. We just returned from a cruise to Alaska. The staff has and still is amazing Thats what keeps us coming back. I think its sad that most staff become afraid to be seen talking to passengers when the bosses come around ! They ...
The Crown Princess is a wreck. The itinerary was changed because she couldn’t complete it and those changes were not communicated until it was too late to do anything about it. The ship had so much shudder, we could not carry on a family conversation with my father who doesn’t hear well in the Botticelli Dining Room. The itinerary was changed prior to sailing so we knew we weren’t going to ...
