Princess South Pacific Cruise Reviews

This was the worst travel experience of my life. It was our first time on a cruise and certainly the last with Grand Princess. This cruise is suitable for 60 year olds and above only. The cruise itself is extremely outdated! I wouldn’t even say it could pass as a family cruise. 1 of the 3 stops they made over the 2 weeks was an industrial area. We even did a tour and didn’t even see much at all. ...

Positives: (1) we were on board within a half hour of arrival to the the pier. (2) my dh and i won 2 trivia contests which had actual prizes-bottles of champagne (3) the princess app on the phone was easy to navigate. (4) dravuni, fiji cruise port is outstanding and saved this cruise from being a zero. Negatives: (1) no ac in our cabin for 3 days in the hot south pacific. Impossible to have a ...

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 ...

We were on a once in a lifetime trip to Australia and New Zealand and as part of the trip booked a Princess Cruise to the South Pacific. Before we even embarked on the cruise one of the stops had been cancelled, we then had another island stop cancelled whilst on the cruise which was due to passenger illness, which can't be helped. Food and service was very average and the whole experience was ...

2nd time Princess. First was average. Oh how we wished for avg this time! New app drops orders. Service is terrible. Excursions as cheap and crap locations possible. We are in the Pacific and brought to the slums of Fiji? Nothing majestic to be seen on this cruise! Onboard talent was better that avg except one comedian was abborent. Many ppl left his show. It's not the money wasted..it was two ...

We chose this as our bucket list cruise around the world. First the two items that were positive about this cruise: 1.The cabin stewards and the personnel in the Horizon Cafe were terrific when it came to service 2.The Horizon Cafe Buffet had a great selection of food which was well prepared and had a tremendous variety. Unfortunately those are the only god things I can report about this ...

A World Cruise (WC) was on my bucket list and Princess is our preferred Cruise Line (4 of us). This was NOT a cruise I would repeat nor recommend. The Island Princess is old and needs A LOT of repairs - rust, mildew, mold, water leaks, cabin entry doors not opening and more. All major safety issues - I worked in Transportation Safety for over 20 years and Island is NOT a safe ship unless it has ...

We booked our World Cruise while on Antartica cruise 2020 on the Coral Princess. We had such a good time we decided to book the World Cruise 2021. The cruise was pushed to 2023 due to covid. Island Princess was rusty from the day we boarded Jan05. The entire ship was rusty. The sea witch logo was crying rust tears. The menu in the dining for 111 days never changed. We never had a hot meal. The ...

I chose the cruise for the port of calls and being a new Ship.What I found was this cruise is for the over 70's and disabled .Many of the crew members were enjoying guest services.the older people were hogging all the facilities and were a pain to walk past or get a seat anywhere. Food and entertainment is repetitive and boring,everytime I went to eat I felt like being in a hospital. The ...
