The hubbs and I enjoyed 10 days on the Enchanted Princess recently. Here’s my thoughts! For context, We’re in our early and late 50’s respectively and this was our 14th Princess cruise. We did the 10 day Mexican Riviera on Discovery these exact same dates last year and it was probably the best cruise we had ever taken and we were excited to have a similar experience being that Enchanted and ...
Just returned from my NYE cruise. The Enchanted is a lovely ship. The largest I have sailed. I liked the multiple venues and the additional seating. However, it is very spread out. The crew is very hardworking but you can see the lack of staff. Long waits for drinks and food. Again, this is not a crew issue but a staffing issue. The shows were nice. I especially liked the Enrichment ...
We have always booked exclusively for itinerary and not the ship, but now we are going to change that to both. The itinerary was Princess Cays, St. Thomas, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Guadeloupe, and Antigua.
Antigua was such a pleasant surprise and it really stole the show for us! Such a breathtakingly beautiful island with super friendly locals. We took an excursion ...
My wife and I, who are long term Princess cruisers chose the Caribbean Princess because it was the perfect time to sail, right after Christmas and through New Year.
We have been to the Caribbean several times before so we were not really concerned about the itinerary just a warm place to go. We did rent a cabana on Princess Cays which was really nice with A/C and excellent food. Sadly, it was ...
For her age, Island Princess is in great shape. She was spotless and well maintained all through she is starting to show her age. Loved the itinerary and the efforts made by crew to celebrate the holidays. Being onboard for both Christmas and New Years was a lot of fun. The Guest entertainers were very good and the ship's band was amazing. The band and lead singer in the Explorer's lounge ...
I decided to do this 14 day cruise with my family from Fort Lauderdale stopping at 8 ports. Ship was nice, Onboarding was great. Room service was ok. The restaurant dining was quite good. However, the buffet was absolutely horrendous. Almost every day, the menu was limited and boring. Food looked recycled... dry or overcooked, unappetizing, bad smell. Fruits were sour or tasted rotten... melon ...
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 ...
Probably will be our last cruise on Princess.
Though they seem to be the least expensive, I’m not sure if the savings is worth the experience.
Cons:
The 3 MDRs are low ceiling and small with very tight seating.
Several dining room reservations were changed via the app without our consent.
The tables for two in the MDR are less than one foot between other tables.
MDR ...
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 ...
I don’t know where to start:
We cruised from Dec 18th-28th Christmas cruise. We have never cruised this class of ships and never will again.
Embarkation was a night mare we were standing in long lines both blue and green were mixed up, and the staff had no clue what to do. We finally got our medallions, and went into a bar to get a drink, ordered the drink from a waiter and he took off ...
