This was our third cruise with princess, after having a magnificent time on its sister ship, the Royal princess back in 2017 we thought we'd all get back together and try the regal! There were 10 of us ranging from 22-80 years old.
We were all very excited as we had all just loved our time on the Royal princess but I don't know if princess has changed post covid or cruising in general.
First ...
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 chose this cruise by date only, as we were celebrating my 60th birthday. We are most loyal to Princess with the caveat that cruising has changed since the pandemic started.
Embarkation was mostly quick and easy. We were blue lane, but it was short--we were second in line. The rep didn't seem too familiar with the program and struggled to enter the information in the system (it was literally ...
Back in the early 2000s, I got hooked on cruising like a fish on a line. But then I took a break for a while. Fast forward to April 2023, and I'm back at it again with my third cruise in the last two years, this time aboard the Regal Princess - my very first trip with Princess Cruises. As a solo cruiser, I sailed with Virgin Voyages in December 2021, and then again in December 2022 on HAL's Nieuw ...
This was our 18th Princess cruise, our last one being on Regal five years ago. We traveled in a Club Class mini-suite on deck 14. Here are some brief observations:
1. Embarkation in Ft. Lauderdale: Easy-peasy. We drove to the port, dropped off our luggage at curbside, parked in the Heron garage, and were checked in without any trouble at all. Using the Medallion along with facial ...
I have been on 11 cruises, not a lot but a fair amount. I have sailed on Carnival, MSC, Royal Caribbean, Holland America and Princess.
My past voyage on Princess was spectacular which is why we chose to use the line again.
As we planned our family vacation we knew we needed a ship that would appeal to my 80 year old parents and my 28 and 29 year old Daughters.
So we did our research and ...
I planned this cruise when I was 14 and he was 15. When he asked me to go steady…I said “Yes” and if we are still together at 50 years we are going on “The Love Boat”. Just back from the Regal Princess! Dreams do come true!
Embarkation was a breeze. Our cabin L2** on the Lido deck was ideal! Just around the corner from the buffet, pools and activities! Our steward Shanal kept everything in top ...
This cruise was relatively inexpensive and convenient,since I live in Fort Lauderdale.The food and service has gone way down.The staff looked very unhappy.The best was my steward.I am very neat anyway.The food was cold and repetitive.I filled out the comment card and got no response.In the past they correct immediately.In general ,cruising will never be the same again.Had the spa pass for the ...
to start with our room carpet was dirty-and someone craped in toilet to leave us a gift ,apparently this was not cleaned prior to us getting room. the first port of call was there private island where they ran out of hamburger buns. The second night in dinning room the food was terrible and service almost as bad. The same thing the second visit dining room . I purchased a ring for my wife and ...
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 ...
