I have been on 11 cruises, not a lot but a fair amount. I have sailed on Carnival, MSC, Royal Caribbean, Holland America and Princess.
My past voyage on Princess was spectacular which is why we chose to use the line again.
As we planned our family vacation we knew we needed a ship that would appeal to my 80 year old parents and my 28 and 29 year old Daughters.
So we did our research and ...
Unfortunately, this cruise was one disappointment after another. Our first issue was our dining experience. We had booked a nightly reservation for traditional dining, and during our 1st dinner, our waiter told us that traditional dining had been “abolished”. I told him I was sad to hear that, he mentioned that I could request him and ask to be sat in the same section each night, which we did, ...
This was my first Princess experience, and I was excited, because my understanding was that Princess was a "step up" in the cruise experience I'm used to.
This is my fourth cruise overall. The three previous with Royal Carribbean. All four cruises have departed out of Galveston. Also this is my first post-COVID cruise.
Overall, my experience was extremely underwhelming.
I was extremely ...
I never thought I would write this kind of review for a cruise vacation (and this was my 10th cruise), but Caribbean Princess made the impossible possible with a terrible experience in every aspect.
Found a good itinerary with Caribbean Princess? Better ignore it as the captain will make sure you skip as many ports as possible. In our case, 2 OUT 4 (!) ports got cancelled due to "strong" winds. ...
We chose princess cruises because we had an agent LIE to us from the start and made it seem like we were getting a great deal and all these amazing savings and packages, only to find out that it was all a lie and we never got anything we were told and weren’t refunded for anything the agent told us. 3rd and 4th guest sail free lie! Kids sail free lie. My 3 year old paid full price for a cruise ...
Chose cruise for destinations and celebration of 50th our anniversary and a 75 birthday.
Food very average. I compared it to a step up from the Golden corral. Formal night diner proportion and selection undesirable and embarrassing to us for the wait staff to serve it. Overall communication insufficient. No Port talks as to what to expect or what to do if not on an excursion. Pay as you go ...
The Crown Princess is an aging ship in need of some updating. Staterooms and public areas look past their prime. Some upholstery shabby, décor dated.
Dining room menu seems to be in rotation every few days. Nothing of interest or originality. Poorly prepared at times and often smothered with some gravy or sauce seemingly meant to cover up what lies beneath. One of the more common offerings ...
to start with our room carpet was dirty-and someone craped in toilet to leave us a gift ,apparently this was not cleaned prior to us getting room. the first port of call was there private island where they ran out of hamburger buns. The second night in dinning room the food was terrible and service almost as bad. The same thing the second visit dining room . I purchased a ring for my wife and ...
Our party contracted the Nora virus and the Corona virus during the cruise, so we were only able to see one of the four ports in Hawaii. My son had to visit the medical center twice because of the outbreaks on the ship.
There was a sewage line leak in our room that flooded most of the floor. There were also numerous sewage leaks in the hallway throughout the duration of the cruise. Sections of ...
I recently sailed on the Regal Princess from February 12th-19th 2023 on a 7 day Eastern Caribbean cruise which stopped in Princess Cays, Bahamas, ST. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, and ST Kitts & Nevis. I have previously sailed with Princess before once and had a pleasant experience. I have also sailed on Celebrity and Royal Caribbean on about 6 cruises total for comparison purposes in this review as ...
