Well to begin with I had the Plus package and still had to pay extra for my wine. Princess is nickel and dimming everyone, it is supposed to be about the experience and there wasn't any. The wine I had to pay more for is not a premium wine. In Canada Cloudy Bay is $21.95 a bottle on sale for $19.95. They charged me 2.75 more after buying a Plus drink package. They said I could buy a bottle for ...
I have been cruising for over thirty years, and have noticed that the cruise companies are using accountants to make decisions for them. CUT CUT CUT. Christmas new year's cruises are normally one of the most expensive times of the year to go. I have done this many times In different parts of the world. This is the first time I have ever written a review. Here it goes.
Boarding the ship was ...
We are elite with princess 50 cruises, we are senior 81 & 77 years old. The priority embarkation (green line) was badly disorganized being pushed and yelled to get in line like animals. We saw numbers of cruisers in need of well-chairs because there was nobody to help them. It took for ever to get to the entrance door.
Princess has a new Medallion "JUNK" at the entrance our Medallion did not ...
If you want to want to wait an hour for a drink, two hours for dinner.. extras added to your bill you didnt have and have to keep asking for it to be removed and disinterested staff… this is the cruise for you.
The ship is nothing special and the lack of forward bar leads to packed atrium bars.
No prom deck means the jogging track is packed with slow walkers.. the gym was good with good ...
Now that I had time to reflect on my first princess cruise experience, I would like to share my thoughts. The ship was amazing, the process to get on and off went smoothly. It does help to pay for transportation to and from the ship and pay for a suite. We did custom medallions and we loved them. The Penthouse suite A734 was nice. Excellent food throughout the ship. The service was incredible, ...
We are platinum members on Princess. We were again advised to buy a plus or premium package with our cruise. We had done this last year (same ship, same month) and all was ok. We are not big drinkers but do enjoy wine with dinner and a few cocktails while cruising. We purchased the plus package. $7000 later we boarded our ship. Our deluxe balcony room was our first disappointment. If u sit on the ...
It was the first time we had travelled with Princess having been on Royal Caribbean, NCL , P&O and MSC numerous times. We didn't have high hopes as such and just wanted to chill out and have a good time. The ship itself was nice with some modern touches with the medallion. When it worked it was great but sometimes you could order and then be waiting half an hour before you knew your drinks would ...
One doesn’t even know where to begin on how cheap Princess has become. This is ship is the poster child for corporate greed and cutting corners. A new ship that looks pretty but it stops there.
if you have absolutely no taste buds then the food onboard is for you. If you eat anything remotely healthy or want anything fresh you are in for some real disappointment. The food is so low grade just ...
This is a new ship which just started sailing in October-November 2021 due to the Covid lockout. It's spotless, showing no wear. Our sailing was only at 40% of passenger capacity, so there were no lines for anything. The staff was great being happy to draw a salary again.
The shows were dismal, a magician and a electronic show. Don't waste your time.
Main dining room food was adequate to ...
We had saved for this trip of a lifetime and it was shocking. We were told the boat had been deep cleaned and it was perfectly safe to travel as the norovirus was no longer an issue. This could have been no further from the truth. Within two days passengers were vomiting with diarrhoea. As you walked to your cabin you could smell both. People were very poorly and they tried to play it down my ...
