Princess San Juan Cruise Reviews

This ship caters more to the young adult/adult crowd. Although it touts youth programs it really does not have much to attract a 10 year old. No climbing wall, super slide, mini golf. The best you get is a small kiddie pool and the two regular pools. However, there are bars and lounges everywhere for the over 21 crowd. Get the full kids drink package, it allows you to get free milk shakes ...

Apart from a mini cruise in Asia a few years ago with the kids we hadn't given cruising much of a thought, but having an anniversary approaching we decided to try this 14 nights' port intensive one away from the winter weather.We like exploring new places and this appealed to us. We flew from Scotland,via a great overnight stop in New York {great walking through Central Park in the snow!} to ...

This cruise was labeled as a 14 night Southern Caribbean but in reality it was 2 separate 7 night cruises visiting 10 ports (not including Puerto Rico). We've spent time sailing around the Caribbean in a 50 ft sailboat a few times over the years and this was our 4th "big" cruise and 2nd with Princess. We chose the 14 night cruise as we prefer longer vacations of 10 or more nights and with the ...

First let me tell anyone who is going on a Princess cruise to print out the page that shows your on board credit. This is not a page that is required but I was not the only person who's on board credit magically disappeared when I boarded. If I had the page I could have had proof. After talking to 3 people including the Captain Circle rep I was told I could take it up after my cruise. Did they ...

First, I want to mention that everything is personal, and that opinions vary from people to people but this is my opinion of this cruise on this ship. Having sailed with other cruise lines before (Royal Caribbean and Carnival), I was told that Princess was above these two. Maybe my expectations were too high to start, but in my opinion, Royal Caribbean is step above. My general feel is still ...

Due to time limitations, we were not able to do a pre-cruise stay in San Juan. Instead, we taxied over to the ship directly from the San Juan airport. There is a set fare of $19 plus $1 for each piece of luggage. The trip took about 20 minutes. Since we are Platinum cruisers with Princess, we bypassed a fairly long line and went right up to the sign-in counter inside the embarkation area. ...

Overall I rate my trip 4 out of 5 stars. Arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico the day before sailing and stayed at the Airport Best Western. No fooling-it was the smallest hotel room I have ever had. My cabin on the ship was bigger! Day 1: I had a free transfer to the ship and let me tell you-it was not worth the price I paid. I did not get my luggage until after midnight! You see in ...

FLIGHTS:Flew US Airways from London Gatwick to Charlotte then Charlotte to San Juan. The flights went smoothly with no problems. We had a total of 25 movies to choose from in flight so I was never bored! Charlotte Aiport puts Gatwick to shame. It is large, spacious, comfortable, easy to use, clean and had plenty of shops and restaurants. We had approx 5 hours wait at Charlotte so we took our time ...

Sailed on the Caribbean Princess April 17 - 24 out of San Juan, Puerto Rico.We stayed at the Courtyard Isla Verde the night before. We are normally a high ended hotel type couple but really enjoyed this hotel and the services.We had been upgraded to a penthouse suite which was really nice with just a few drawbacks. The suite is on the Riviera Deck which means you are just below the Lido deck ...

This was our 4th Princess cruise. We have done Alaska, the Panama Canal and the Greek Isles. We did the back to back two week cruise stopping in San Juan in the middle. Food was good, the shows were good and the singer in Crooners, Heather Sullivan was excellent. We liked our suite and balcony. Our biggest complaint was cleanliness and staff apathy. The staff seemed over worked and marginally ...
