Princess Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

We had 2300 passengers on board because it was spring break for many Florida students. The previous few weeks were running about 1200 to 1400. This was our fourth post-pandemic cruise and we definitely felt the higher capacity. The crew definitely struggled at first. It seems Princess did not increase the crew much if at all to account for the high capacity. The first day was disorganized and ...

We were a bit disappointed with our recent cruise on Caribbean Princess. There were multiple issues along the way that I will outline and will highlight the positives. We left out of Fort Lauderdale. The cruise we booked was for 6 nights and included port of Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Princess Cays. About 2 weeks prior to leaving, Princess cancelled Grand Cayman as since the pandemic they have not ...

I have been sailing MSC cruise line lately and got accustomed to that "European" kind and friendly crew. Princess was somewhat less social and not nearly as friendly. They were not unkind or unpleasant, don't misunderstand. I think I am just spoiled from MSC. I was banned from the dining room, even on the casual days, due to my failure to pack long pants. I had my new Bermuda shorts and ...

I chose this cruise because I had never been on a Princess cruise. The fare was decently priced, but they nickel and dime you for everything and blatantly throw it in your face that the casino games are rigged in their favor. The food is mediocre and the drinks are weak. I would not recommend or return to this cruise line. The entertainment onboard isn’t that great and the shows are cheesy. Nobody ...

We booked this cruise on Princess after searching for a deal on an all inclusive. We found none, but we sure did find a great deal with Princess. The package included Free Wifi/Internet, Balcony, Specialty Coffee and Tea Package, PREMIUM DRINK PACKAGE (alcohol and soda) and all Gratuities!!! Price out the door for a 7 day Western Caribbean itinerary ...TOTAL for the both of us ...$1576!!! We ...

After waiting out the pandemic for over 2 years it was time to get back on a cruise ship. I live in South Florida so it is easy for me to get to the ports and before Covid I was cruising three to four times a year. This cruise on the Regal Princess fit in perfectly with my work schedule so I booked it. Embarkation was quick. I had received the medallion about two weeks in the mail prior to ...

PRE-CRUISE EXPERIENCE We booked our cruise - Deluxe Obstructed Balcony - on 1/12. Nice room; large balcony; fun position at the front of the ship. A week later Princess put Balcony Cabins on sale, at HALF OFF, what they had been the week we booked. I understand this kind of thing happens, but understandably, this left a bad taste in our mouths. We called Princess, nothing could be ...

We booked a mini suite for a family of 3 (one teenager), while another family member booked a separate single room, all around September 2021 for a February 2022 sailing. We were never sure it was going to happen due to Covid travel restrictions, but our trip did happen and everything was fantastic. All passengers were required to be vaccinated, show proof of a negative test taken no more than ...

Overall it was a good experience, 99.9% of the staff was very friendly and welcoming, dining and buffet were excellent, a lot of thinks to do in the ship, the spa was too expensive, I had a massage 100 minutes that for $200+, that was not $100 it was way less than that, 95% of the passengers were adults 60 years old +, they should put some water in the refrigerator, it was empty, the mattresses ...

This was a family celebration that ended up being a nightmare. So many horrible things happened. Do not go on a Princess Cruise. The systemic problems are not outweighed by some of the nice crew. My $9,000 stateroom was a disaster – no heat or hot water for the first 3 days of the cruise. Black goo came out of the tub jacuzzi jets. The noise of the engines was really bad. A homeless person ...
