Princess Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

I wanted to try a royal class ship and picked the enchanted princess for the European ports. But as luck will have it . They had to cancel Madeira due to a naval pilot strike. The ship is beautiful, clean but is showing wear in the cabin and hallway carpets, and lumpy beds. The only annoying things are the cost cutting measures put in place. Note cost cutting words were used by Princess staff. ...

Please note, this is a long, detailed, log-like review. If you just want the summary and conclusions just scroll on down to the bottom! We traveled for 13 days before the cruise. A summary of pre-cruise travels: Porto was a “10” all around. Sintra a solid and enjoyable “8.” Florence perhaps a “3” if I am being generous. If we had to plan this again, we would have stayed longer in Porto and ...

Overall, we had a fabulous cruise for 16 days from Southampton to Fort Lauderdale with excellent stops in France, Spain and Portugal. As my cabin mate has a cane and is Elite, we were put in a faster queue for boarding, which went extremely well. The Regal Princess is a stunning ship! I especially enjoyed midship on Decks 15 and 16 where you can see the front and rear of the ship from one ...

Gave high marks for the ship and the cruise in general. The service was great, I always found the crew friendly, smiling and helpful. My cabin steward was outstanding and I also found my favorite bar steward. In the main dining room they were mostly great.... there will always be some who are better than others, but I was always aware of how hard these people work and long days. It's pretty ...

We sailed the Grand Princess in October 2022 and it was a pretty poor cruise. When we discovered that another Princess cruise, aboard the Enchanted, was the only one that fit our timeline this spring, I didn’t expect much out of it. I am happy to say that I was wrong. The Grand had that ‘Motel 6,’ tired look and feeling, Enchanted was one of the better looking ships I have sailed. There were ...

My husband and I went on the 28 day Grand Israel/Mediterranean/Trans-Atlantic cruise last November/December. We met amazing people and had a fantastic time. Our favorites? We loved the twice-daily trivia competitions as well as the evening musical trivia. We also loved the crew-led games/entertainment. (The cruise director for our first segment was fantastic!) The food was good-to-great ...

Our third attempt to make a visit, previous efforts cancelled due to pandemic and health. Whilst not our original itinerary, we thought it would give us an opportunity to tick some of the boxes. Pre- embarkation information trickled in to us gradually, but a lot of information was not easy to find. Filling in all forms before em arking was supposed to ease the process, so why was the 'green ...

We wanted to try a newer ship like Enchanted Princess, off peak season to avoid problems at the airports. We uploaded the medallion app on my cell phone and filled out all the information as required with some getting used to initially. We bought the Princess' transfer to Southampton terminal from London Heathrow. There were personals to take our luggage but we had to wait for about an hour ...

I had never done a transatlantic cruise before. Thought I would love the sea days. Plus side the food was at the usual high standard of Princess. I make it a practice to avoid buffet, too hard to manage my own portion control and good place to get sick. So I mostly ate in dining rooms, for was good. But the timing was. Always off. Using tne medallion to make a reservation was useless. I was. ...

Wanted to do another Transatlantic with two couples that have not been. Overall enjoyed the cruise but the experience with COVID onboard with 300-400 coming down with it put a damper on some activities and put the deflector shields up. Embarkation - What a breeze with the medallion in Fort Lauderdale, stayed at next door at the Marina Hilton arriving two days early. Took all of 10 ...
