We selected this cruise to celebrate New Year’s. We have cruised over the New Year’s holiday many times in the past. We chose this particular ship because we had a cancellation due to the COVID situation in March of 2020 and this cruise was the replacement for the cancelled cruise. We cruised with Princess previously and had great experiences. The new and beautiful Enchanted Princess looked like a ...
For those of you who just want a summary for your trip: Prices are up, service is down. Staff was completely overwhelmed, and the responsibility falls directly on Management. As stewards of the company that we are all stakeholders and shareholders of they should be ashamed. This is not the Princess Cruise Company that we know and love. They didn’t even give you a glass of cheap champagne to toast ...
We chose this cruise since we could drive to Fort Lauderdale from the villages, Florida and we didn’t have any family coming to visit over Xmas. A ten day cruise seemed like a good idea. Driving to the port, parking and embankment was unbelievably smooth. We arrived around noon so missed the crowd, if there ever was one earlier. No wait at all. Our first impression of the ship was 5 stars. It is ...
Having been on 96 cruises on various cruise lines (19 on Princess), I found this to be a good typical Princess cruise. We had a great comedian and good entertainment. The food in Club Class was delicious and we often had to choose from several favorites offered the same night. I don't care for pasta but every night the Maitre' D had a sample of his dish at the table.
I bid on an upgrade ...
We have done 67 cruises with Princess now and this one must be considered the most disappointing. First and foremost we disliked the layout of the ship especially the Retreat area with its 3 foot deep adult pool which does not have a walk in step feature and the equally shallow wallowing Wave pool situated on Lido deck making it feel very crowded with all the tables and chairs and the Wake bar. ...
My husband and I travel quite often on land tours as well as cruises. An opportunity came up to go to the Caribbean on the Enchanted Princess. We have travelled on Princess quite a few times and we’re looking forward to getting back on board.
Initial Embarking and the final Disembarking went very quickly. There were plenty of Princess crew members around to provide assistance. During ...
We ( husband and I) chose this itinerary because we've never done a Caribbean cruise, and wanted some spring sun, we chose this ship because it is new, looked really nice and we liked the itinerary. We're not massively experienced with cruising - this was our 5th cruise, the rest have been various Meditterranean itineraries. We have cruised with Princess once before.
We booked a 1 night pre ...
Close if not the worst cruise experience ever. We have been on many cruises, Holland American, Disney, Celebrity, Carnival, Royal Caribbean Norwegian, Viking and Brendan. This is our second Princess experience but our first during COVID. However the COVID protocols had nothing to do with our poor experience it was all related to level of service.
First let’s start with the positives. The ...
This was my 50th cruise and we are Elite. There was a line at embarkation which wasn't handled very well but the Medallion made it easier to check in. We had a glitch with Covid testing which made for a rough precruise day but we did have a back up Binax Now test with us which I recommend. We stayed at the AC Marriott Dania, a new hotel in a nice area. Since we had the drinking package we didn't ...
We were exited to cruise on the Enchanted Princess on her inaugural season after a long delay in her launch due to Covid. This is our 21st. cruise overall and 4th. on a Royal Class Princess ship. This ship is absolutely spotless throughout and we encountered no problems at any time on our ten day cruise. We sailed at 50% capacity with a full crew, so the service was impeccable. Every last crew ...
