A transit of the Panama Canal has been on my Bucket List for many years. To finally do it was a dream come true! And to sail on a ship leaving Galveston, Texas, my "home" port was doubly exciting. And a Princess ship at that! How lucky can one person get. As expected from Princess, the ship was clean, the crew was wonderful, the food was delicious no matter where we chose to eat, and the ...
We chose to sail out of Galveston to save air fare because we live in Texas and just drove in the day before. The time was perfect and the price was within our financial means. This was an 80's themed cruise which some people went all out, the theme to me was neither good nor bad though I did get tired of Cyndi Lauper. I watched a lot of You Tube video and prepared myself as best I could. The ...
I am appalled by the amount of negative reviews. We took 6 days California coast cruise and have nothing even slightly bad to say, maybe it’s because we don’t feel entitled. Let me break this down
1. Service - every crew member, and I mean every single one, greets you with smile. People who work their butts off 12 hours shifts for 6-9 months still keep a smile on their faces. Room gets cleaned ...
The Emerald Princess is a roomy ship with plenty of outdoor space. I was most impressed with all of the staff. Shows were great. I did notice some cutbacks in the choices of food in the MDR. Overall, it was a great trip. Plenty of daily actives and enjoyed the pool at the back of the ship. Our third trip on the Emerald, we had never gone thru the Panama Canal or been to the ports of Huatulco, ...
We embarked in the World Cruise Port in San Pedro, California. It was very fast and easy which was great. We had received our Medallions by mail, so it made it quick. I had bought 4 airtag wristbands online and they fit the Medallions perfectly.
The Crown is not one of the new Princess ships, but she is wonderful just the same. Everything was kept clean and polished, and I enjoyed the wood and ...
I’m writing this review because i wanted to say that my 3 servers were amazing. Nanna from thailand, Gary from Philippines, and Mauro from Columbia. They were amazing waiters and they told me if I wrote a review they would be able to get a promotion. I really hope they get their promotion. I think they really deserve it. They were wonderful. They made eating meals super fun and they were just so ...
This was our first cruise and to be honest I was biased because I remember watching the show The Love Boat as a kid. The show made me want to try cruising and experience this sense of royalty and comfort. The real life experience was all I could hope for. The staff from every aspect was so friendly, welcoming and offered their services all the time. I didn’t even have to get my own drinks while ...
I read a lot of negative reviews on the Diamond Princess recently, so I went into this cruise with managed expectations. That being said, I had an amazing cruise with very little criticism.
This was a 7-night Mexican Riviera cruise to Loreto, La Paz and Cabo San Lucas. Our Loreto port was canceled due to high winds, so we rerouted to Mazatlán for our first stop.

I just got off a 7 day Caribbean cruise on the Ruby Princess out of Galveston. My adult son and I had an absolutely wonderful time. It was our first time on Princess. I bid on an upgrade from a Club Class Mini Suite to a Premium Suite and was upgraded to a Penthouse! You can imagine how thrilled we were. Embarkation was seamless. We were in our cabin by 1:00 p.m.
The ship is so beautiful ...
I went on this cruise as a precursor to going on the Grand Princess to Alaska. I am taking some friends with us to Alaska and wanted to see how these older ships compare to the newest ones, and the Diamond happens be in the older category. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well maintained the Diamond is. My last Princess cruise was on the Royal 3 years ago and though it was one of the newer ...
