Eight of us including my 87-yr-old mother just got off the Discovery Princess after 7 fun days. This was my 12th cruise (3rd with Princess); one will never get all of your favorite things on one cruise. Many things that others complained about were not a problem for us. Being Canadian, we spent hours in the hot tubs even on the cool days and enjoyed watching movies from there. The ratio of deck ...
Embarkation : arrived at cruise terminal around noon, check-in was the only time during this entire cruise when we had to show our passports, didn’t even bother with boarding passes, whole process took less than 30 minutes, luggages already at our room after lunch.
Guests : fairly diverse range of age / ethnicity, more folks in their 50s and up, of course. Not too many people using canes / ...
We selected this cruise line and ship for the purpose of celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary. While the first day went smoothly, we encountered issues when it came time to sleep. The stateroom had a significant amount of creaking and knocking sounds, which greatly impacted our ability to rest. Throughout the seven nights, we were only able to get one decent night's sleep, leaving us feeling ...
Enchanted princess needs more shade options. we all know sun is the enemy, so why does princess not put up any additional umbrellas or those awnings. It’s bad.
Chair hogs…omg…reserve chairs in both shade and sun. ridiculous. No one does a thing. i saw ppl almost get into a fight.
Menu does not change enough in dining room. booked 2x10 cruise..same menu. cmon..even i could produce ...
Wanted full passage Panama canal cruise and Emerald Princess delivered. I found this to be a mostly wonderfully cruise with fabulous entertainment and games galore.

The shows were great,, especially the premiere of ROCK OPERA. Balcony cabin on Baja 11 ...

Overall, this was my third cruise with Princess. While it was my second time post-pandemic, I'm observing Princess' evolution in the wake of losses sustained during the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Princess has definitely implemented many small changes across the spectrum. It probably still is a "premium" line because all of the other cruise lines have faced the same realities and have made ...
We chose this short cruise with family from brochure advertising. The program to register for this cruise was updated once and was the cause of hours of needless searching to complete registration. Despite the continuous hype on the last full day promoting a 10 star cruise, our experience was less than satisfactory. One waiter’s rude attitude at an evening meal caused us to reevaluate the ...
We chose this cruise line because we are loyal Princess platinum members. So, when we wanted to get away after the holiday season we searched the options on Princess. The Discovery Princess was our first choice because we could board the ship in LA. We live in Orange County, very close to the dock so, this made our voyage…and decision simple. Also, we have cruised this itinerary on Princess, ...
We had a good time and got to see and go places that we haven't been to yet. Going through the Panama Canal was the highlight of the trip, but we enjoyed all of the ports.
The ship was nice and the more mature crowd was what we were looking for. The food was good and the selections from the menu were nice. The various specialty restaurants were all nice, as well.
Generally, the service was ...
