I had a credit due to Princess canceling our cruise from Sydney to Auckland which was going to expire so I decided to use it for this sailing. I was excited to see L1** was available and even more so when I saw there was no single supplement. The description of this cabin, located all the way forward and in the corner, is slightly misleading, and therefore it seems to discourage people from ...
I recently sailed on the Regal Princess from February 12th-19th 2023 on a 7 day Eastern Caribbean cruise which stopped in Princess Cays, Bahamas, ST. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, and ST Kitts & Nevis. I have previously sailed with Princess before once and had a pleasant experience. I have also sailed on Celebrity and Royal Caribbean on about 6 cruises total for comparison purposes in this review as ...
Our group, seven in all. took this cruise to the Caribbean on Princess. Two of our group were first time cruisers, the other five had cruised before. We had a great experience on the cruise. The service was exceptional, both in the dining rooms and bars. Cabins were, for the most part, clean. (We found some debris on the floor of one cabin, but by and large, things were clean.)The ...
My wife and I just returned from our 11th Princess cruise departing from FTL aboard Regal Princess on January 29 for 7 nights. This is our second cruise on this ship; we last sailed on the Regal four years ago just before Covid hit. We like the overall layout of this ship and we observed it was very clean and well maintained! The onboard entertainment was excellent, both in the main theatre and ...
We are old (60+), and huge cruise fans. My DIL selected this cruise as a mid-winter break, and we just tagged along.
Pre-Cruise Hotel:
The thing about Fort Lauderdale hotels is that they either cost a LOT (and come with amenities like fresh-smelling rooms, clean towels and possibly an attached restaurant), or they cost less than a lot (and you wake repeatedly through the night, listening to ...
EMBARKATION - The Medallion did speed up the initial check-in process. Note: There was no clear signage or direction given that you need to pick up a boarding number card upon entering the waiting area. Being a first-time Princess cruiser, I found out only by looking around and seeing others holding cards. They kindly directed me to a small desk off to the side back at the waiting area's ...
First time on Princess (over 30 cruises). But it was at the right time, place and price. You were required to do almost all pre cruise on you smart phone App. NO Computer. Getting through the App was hours and hours of frustration. You had to search to find what you had to do before boarding... no list .... NOT user Friendly. On that alone I would not take another Princess Cruise. The ...
Over the past ten years we have sailed with Princess, Celebrity, Crystal, Carnival, Azamara, Holland and Royal Caribbean. The first five remain contenders for future cruises, with Holland being too quiet and Royal Caribbean being too rude.
As always, Princess remains a solid value in the mid range. We had cabin Caribe 410, which meant we had a mini suite with an extended balcony. Our cabin was ...
This was our 25th anniversary cruise, twice postponed due to COVID issues. It was our first holiday cruise. We splurged for a club class mini suite (L108). Overall, it was great! There were a couple of notable improvements in the nearly 3 years since we last cruised.
We are very active people, and we were very pleased to see that the fitness centre was open 24/7. Among other things it allowed ...
This was actually a back-to-back cruise, continuing on after Christmas to include New Year’s, ending on January 3rd. 2023.
This was our 7th Princess cruise and first on the Regal Princess. Overall, a good cruise, with great weather except for Fort Lauderdale.
The dining room service was excellent for a change. The food was very good, but did not change for the second cruise, so it was a ...
