We've cruised on Princess, Celebrity, Costa, Oceania, and Holland America, among others. Princess has always been our favorite, but they've really upped their game from great to outstanding - this cruise has Princess squarely at the top of our list. We moved to Platinum status after this cruise, and it was a real delight that this one is the one that got us there. The food was EXCELLENT. ...
I just got off the Regal a few days ago and here are my thoughts.
Me: 61 years young, active, not quite retired, Midwesterner. I traveled with my brother and sister-in-law. I chose this itinerary for the ports that included Roatan and Belize, because I wanted to snorkel. Also, this cruise offered a reasonable fare for a solo balcony, my first time for that. This cruise is my last as a Platinum ...
Just got back from the Western Caribbean and Mexico on a Sky Princess cruise with three other couples. It’s really easy for passengers to arrange a two-tank dive in advance while visiting Roatan in the Honduras Bay Islands, as well as other Caribbean ports like Cozumel and Costa Maya.
We chose Sun Divers Roatan, as well as Papa Hog's Scuba Emporium in Cozumel and Amigos del Mar in Costa ...
We had so much fun! Our room steward was amazing! The food in the main dining room was very good. The breakfast buffet was also very good. The International Cafe was delicious and very easy to grab a quick bite. We went late to the dinner buffet, and it was not so great - but it was late and to be expected. The ports were a lot of fun, and this cruise seemed to be a nice mix of sea days and ...

We cruised from Ft. Lauderdale to Panama Canal and back to Ft. Lauderdale. The embarkation was very easy and smooth. No complaints about that. We had stops in Montego Bay, Cartagena, Limon and Grand Cayman. We could have skipped Montego Bay and Cartagena. The guide on the excursion in Montego Bay just spoke about the poverty on the island. Not what we were looking for. Cartagena excursion ...

We are a couple in our 60’s who live in Galveston and cruise a lot. We booked this cruise directly through a Travel Consulting Company that we signed up with last year and got a really good price compared to booking directly with Princess. We booked a mini-suite and were very happy with the cabin and location. We chose a room on the Mariner Deck (15) which gave us easy access to ...
Just got home from this cruise. I have to say it was perfect. No complaints. Embarkation was crazy, but nothing Princess could have done about that. They were 2 hrs late getting into Ft Lauderdale and then had a surprise full Coast Guard inspection dropped on them at the last minute. There was a definite lack of communication about the delay. Some people got emails and let the Facebook ...
We choose Princess because it's the Love Boat and we both grew up watching the show. We wanted that same luxurious experience to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Being on the cruise on our actual anniversary was desired and we wanted to go somewhere warm that we could fit into a vacation less than 10 days with travel time. So Caribbean Princess it was for a 7 day Eastern Caribbean ...
Summer caribbean cruises are a great way to visit beautiful beaches. My best friend had booked this cruise with her elderly parents. I decided to get a cabin for myself and another friend. After I booked this cruise, I read the reviews and I was not looking forward to this cruise. My expectations were not high at all.
Embarkation was very easy, service was top notch all around, food was ...
