1-10 of 26 Princess Crown Princess Cruise Reviews for Senior Cruises to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean from Rome (Civitavecchia)
We chose this cruise because of the value and the incredible destinations. Princess offers some of the best destinations at sea. We had a great trip and I will say that Princess treated us far better than any other cruise line I've been on. They actually upgraded us to a balcony room free of charge upon arrival as a honeymoon gift. We also were granted dining credits and $100 onboard spending ...
1. We had booked a cabin and the pictures on the web site did not show that this would have pull down beds stowed and a column in the cabin this greatly reduces the limited space and we should have been made aware of this when we booked back in February 2107. We could have then made an informed decision on the cabin instead of me keep hitting the bed that stuck out from the wall with my shoulder ...
We have sailed on Norwegen, Holland America and Oceania.,
Chose this cruise based upon time of year and origin and final ports in the Mediterranean. The stateroom with balcony and the E-Z airfare were very affordable.
Embarkation and disembarkation were very organized and well done.
The public areas of the ship frequently were just a little smelly with sewer smell and on the promenade ...
I had my concerns when I booked this cruise because of some of the reviews I read. However, the itinerary seemed great and I thought I'd give Princess a try. In the past, I have sailed Royal Carribean and Carnival. I was very impressed with my trip and would say I preferred my overall experience on princess over RC and Carnival.
Things I liked:
- the interior rooms, while still small, ...
I chose this cruise because our agent was able to tie it in well with a land trip we were doing earlier. It also included many places that I have always wanted to visit, and some I hadn’t heard of too. When booking we were not told it was 2 back to back cruises, but this did have an effect on the cruise. Ports included were:- Salerno, Kotor, Corfu, Crete, Mykonos, Athens, Santorini (substituted ...
Having travelled before both on Celebrity Cruises and Holland America Line it's not easy to find cruiseships and itineraries that might excite us. It was the second time we travelled with Princess and we enjoyed as much as the first time.
The ship's decoration is older, still everything is very well taken care of.
The cabin (interior) had the same usual size as we've seen in other cruise ...
We and another couple took this cruise to see a large number of places as a first visit. We briefly explored Rome for 4 days prior to joining the ship. The embarkation and disembarkation was seamless. We booked a transfer from the ship to the airport to fly home - again was extremely smooth. Our cabin had a balcony - it was used a number of times - entering/leaving port, watching the coast as ...
We chose this trip due to the itinerary. The ports were amazing and the rooms and beds and service were well above average. Unfortunately the entertainment was well below sub par. Nothing to do most of the sea days and cruise Director was almost never around. We have been on 5 other cruise lines with well over 150 days at sea and this was the worst entertainment we have ever had. The itinerary was ...
We chose this cruise because it took in a lot of the major European landmarks that were on our bucket list. We booked it when the price was right (albeit an interior stateroom), but were upgraded to a better deck and a room with a view. Pretty happy about that. It was a great way to visit multiple cities so we could work out where we'd happily revisit, or not bother again. ...
We chose to do a 6 week cruise package as coming from Australia it is to far to come for just 2 or 3 weeks.
As far as my husband and I are concerned we enjoyed our time onboard the Crown Princess we found it a much better ship than the Golden which we were on last year..
The staff were always helpful and we felt that they represented Princess Cruise Line very well...Our cabin steward was a ...
