Re: Caribbean Princess Back to Back Departures Dec 18th & 26th 2011.
Sir:
I don't feel that I should have to resort to again taking my time to point out obvious short falls in your organizations, Management and Security.
I have cruised with Princess 20 times over the past years and I am scheduled to sail with Princess again on Star Princess Mar3rd. 2012. I have always kept up my end ...
Caribbean Princess (3600 passengers), 26 Dec 10 to 2 Jan 11. San Juan - St. Thomas - Tortola - Antigua - St. Lucia - Barbados - San Juan. My wife and I had taken three previous Princess Cruises, back in 2000 - 2002 time frame. This is our first since then. Beginning in 2007, we have taken four cruises on Regent Seven Seas cruise line, three of them on the Navigator (490 passengers) and this past ...
First, when you book a suite you expect something extra in terms of service...right? Not here. On past Princess cruises our steward acted as our "butler" in that everything could be done through him/her. On this cruise, he just pointed us in the direction of room service or dining rooms. He was nothing more than a maid. Second, our room was not stocked as promised with beverages and when we asked ...
Our extended family recently spent a week on your Caribbean Princess. We have cruised on Princess several times before (Alaska and Caribbean) and did not think twice about going with your company once again. However, I believe I can confidently say that we will not be back and, based on the other cruise guests I spoke with during the week and on the flight home (including a Platinum level ...
We booked a group of six on the Caribbean Princess. This was going to be our 3rd seven day cruise on the Caribbean Princess. We were aware that she just came out of dry dock and we were excited about all the new changes. The paperwork we received said boarding would start around 2:00 p.m., and we arrived from our flight about 1:45. When we got there, it was pretty confusing, and when we asked the ...
For background sake - my fiancE and I are in our late 50's, from NJ and have plenty of cruise experience - over 30 collectively. This was our first (and last) cruise on Princess. Air Travel: The cruise was offered with "free airfare" - the first time we've done this and a massive mistake on our part. Specific flight details weren't confirmed until well after we had committed to the booking and ...
I'm a travel agent. This was my 8th cruise and my 7th as a group leader (I've had groups as large as 46 and as small as 10. Our group on this sailing was 17.) This review is a bit lengthy...but I'm going to cover EVERYTHING!
Let me start with the positives:
AIRPORT TRANSFER: We were met at the airport by Princess' transfer folks. They were wonderful! We had a member of our group arriving later ...
So, a little background on us and the group we were cruising with. Our family consisted of myself (37), my wife (36) and our two small children (both boys, one 2+ and the other 11 months). We also traveled with my sister, her husband and their almost 4 year old daughter. My parents, and my wife's father and his his wife. All together we were a group of 8 adults and 3 kids.
We flew into San Juan ...
Here is my two cents worth on the topic of cruising with Princess. We are a couple, 42 and 50 years old. We recently went on our very first cruise on Princess. In fact, it was our very first cruise period. We did the Southern Caribbean, January 12 through January 19 out of San Juan. We booked our transfers to and from the airport and all of our air travel through Princess Air. Were we satisfied? ...
This was our second cruise with Princess, and a major disappointment. The ports were the main reason for the choice of this ship.
Embarkation went fairly smooth. We were at the pier by 12:00 and on the ship by 1:00.
The ship was big--by the end of the cruise we finally knew where everything was. I personally thought there was alot of movement while on the ship. The sail to and from San Juan ...
