Princess Royal Princess Romantic Cruises Reviews

We are a couple who joined two other couples chose this cruise because it started and ended in Auckland NZ. We have done around 20 cruises including three half world cruises over 30 years from Ponant to Paul Gaugin through Cunard, Sun Line, Carnival, P & O (UK), Princess and Celebrity. At 3000 passengers it was the largest ship we had been on (our other cruises were all on 2000 or less ...

Do not take the cruise to NZ starting and ending in Auckland. We just got back (the 2025 date is for next year obviously). We went 2024 February. Got to the airport and Princess has organized a taxi. This was extremely awkward as the guy told us how poor he was a lot and we felt we needed to give him a tip ( this was our fault). Embarkation started around 11am and was efficient. The room ...

As an elite member I have never been so disappointed. The food was awful. One day I was almost in tears because of the menu on the buffet, being gluten free I had very little options. I understand the MDR is much better option but if order a meal the day before sometimes I just don't get there. Case in point I ordered GF fish and chips for pub lunch but completely slept through it. ...

We chose this cruise to go on holiday with a family of 11 since we travelled on board the Royal princess in 2015 for my brother's wedding on board. We travelled on Princess Majestic to Sydney and New Zealand in 2018 and it was brilliant - 5 out of 5. However, it appears since Princess have sold out to Holland American Lines from Cunard they want to a) charge you for everything that ...

The ship's decor, stateroom and cabin attendant was quite reasonable. Entertainment was some good, some bad. Not reasonable were two things, food and post cruise medical claim service. FOOD: Admittedly, companion and I ate at standard restaurants to test what we already paid for. With few exceptions, breakfast through dinner, the food was far below mediocre. Dry, off-tasting scrambled ...

People choose a cruise based on the itinerary and based on ship accommodations. In both cases, Princess let us down. We signed up for a 7 day Alaskan cruise which was supposed to have 4 stops. One was in Victoria Canada, the day before we disembarked. We knew it was an evening stop 7-11pm. There were a few excursions worth doing. But two months before our sail date we were told they wouldn't ...

It was recommended by our travel agency so I will try to be fair but also clear on my assessment. Outstanding service and cleanliness all the employees were top notch with friendliness and helpfulness. The food in the buffet was cheap and really poor quality the other restaurants on the ship were very good but beware the cost will stifle you to a point you will lower your view they of them ...

Decent cruise. Staff was polite, professional, and very helpful. Ship itself was clean and well maintained. Sometimes the elevators had a bit of a wait, but nothing horrible. Long lines/wait for gelato. Food was ok. Not fantastic, but not bad. Hard to get reservations at the desired times - but we were able to tag into other cruise-mates reservations to make it work. Room service ...

We elected to go on a cruise as it seemed like the easiest way to experience Alaska. From that perspective, this cruise met our needs. The Alaskan ports offered good opportunities to experience the beautiful sights of Alaska. Still, the experience is downgraded by the touristy, completely overcrowded downtowns of the ports themselves. The downtowns seem to be mostly staffed by temporary summer ...

I had relatively low expectations having just gone on a Disney Cruise in March. However, Princess somehow found a way to make exceed the sadness of all my expectations. The one thing I did enjoy was the excursions, but since they were not technically Princess Excursions, I'm not going to credit them for it. First and foremost, a cruise should always be about the food. Unfortunately the food ...
