I was hesitant about going on a cruise during this pandemic. But being vaccinated and boosted I felt safe. Also, knowing the entire staff was vaccinated and masked the whole time was comforting. The entire staff was wonderful, the ship was clean and met all our needs. The ship was constantly being cleaned. The entertainment was just wonderful. The food was exquisite and the portions were ...
My wife and I just returned from an 11 day cruise/tour on the Royal Princess. Our cruise/tour stated on land in Fairbanks and we stayed in the Princess Lodges during the land portion. We had hoped that going in July would have resulted in a cruise/tour with clear skies a warm days but that was not the case. For the most part it was cold and wet the majority of the time with temperatures in the ...
Prior to boarding the ship, I had several concerns about the Crown Princess, sailing to Alaska. The Crown has propulsion issues and cannot get to appropriate speed. Several previous passengers had given me the good, the bad and the ugly regarding their experiences. While I STILL feel Princess should have been upfront about the known issues BEFORE final payment, I can now share my ...
Princess changed the itinerary 3 times. They first removed Ketchikan and replaced it with Icey Straight. They then took Icey Stright off altogether. They then took hours off of Juneau and did not arrive until evening. So basically the cruise was only 2.5 ports instead of 4. The offered a 100.00 onboard credit to spend back on the ship. What a joke. It was not even weather related. They had an ...
We did the 5 day cruise which we reviewed and have now stayed onboard for the 7 day coral coast cruise. Unfortunately the cruise continues to go downhill with many more Covid cases onboard and lots of cabin doors with tables in front of piled high with dirty dishes and polystyrene food containers. The restaurants are not open for lunch ,the grill for burgers are also not open at all for both ...
We took a cruise from Whittier, AK to Vancouver. Loved the scenery throughout the trip and being able to travel through Glacier Bay. Going to Glacier Bay and our scheduling window was the primary reason we chose the Grand Princess instead of a Royal Caribbean ship. The Grand Princess felt very old overall. They had "upgraded" our room to a rear balcony instead of the port side room we had booked ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and to travel with good friends. While the overall ship is fine, the "upgraded" balcony cabins are woefully inadequate. The bathroom is very small and the shower is cramped (even for a 5'4" 140lb female!) While the cabin is obviously for 2 people, it has only 1 chair so someone has to sit on the bed. The one positive was our cabin steward who was ...
Been a Princess Cruise customer for decades but this was the first cruise since Covid. We had lowered our expectations accordingly but apparently not low enough. Our biggest gripes were food and Internet. Princess food was never spectacular but it's downright mediocre now. Heard lots of other people complaining too echoing sentiments to never sail Princess again. At best banquet-quality and ...
We had a wonderful time going to Norway. In the beginning we were a bit disappointed because Spitzbergen had been cancelled - this was a bucket list item for a lot of people on this cruise. The scenery and the two added ports made up for some of it.
Would recommend going to Norway to anyone that asks, it's a beautiful place.
The ship itself was a little odd - we sailed on her before she was ...
While the destinations on this cruise were good, this was overall the worst cruise I have ever been on. It got to a point where at times it was uncomfortable and stressful. This continues to weeks after disembarking as they are still currently holding my money hostage. I spent around 250 USD on my stateroom account, which they have charged from my bank. On top of the money they have charged, they ...
