I would never recommend this cruise ship to anyone. We joined this cruise to celebrate our special wedding anniversary - this is our 7th cruise - but unfortunately its all about money and not passengers. Our towels in cabin were not changed for 6 days - apparently the laundry couldnt cope with daily changes. The cafes food was the same for 14 days, tables not cleared when passengers left - ...

Definitely Not a Royal Experience !
10 night QLD cruise - 4 ports
This was our first big holiday since covid & we decided to stay in Australia & cruise our beautiful QLD coast thinking on Princess it would be a relaxing luxury experience like our pre covid cruising experiences had been. Sadly it was anything but. From start to finish it seemed costs had been cut everywhere.
Definitely no ...
The itinerary was shortened at two ports: Ketchikan and Victoria. Apparently to accommodate other ships. Victoria excursion came so late on the last day that it was virtually useless. Entertainment was below average overall. Music was often too loud in the midship plaza area which made conversation impossible. Food was OK but not as good as Celebrity or Royal Caribbean. Seating in the buffet ...
I have been on 8 cruises and this was EASILY the worst. It was my first Princess cruise and will definitely be my last as well. I don't even know where to begin. The food was bad. Like really bad. I have never had a cruise where the buffet was literally inedible, but this was one. The dining room was a little better, but was hit or miss. If you do go on this cruise choose the Allegro dining room. ...
Think twice about princess cruises, read the reviews on yelp, google, and social media, and good luck getting a refund check from princess cruises after your cruise if you're owed a refund $!!! We pre-paid cruise, excursions, etc before sailing (plus package) for our 7-day alaska cruise from seattle. Our most expensive excursion was canceled by the ship or vendor the day of and no one even ...
The ship is long in the tooth with raggedy upholstery on seats with failing foam cushions that have been sat in so long they are shaped like peoples’ butts. The App DOES NOT WORK. Orders placed on it NEVER arrive, and the Chat function is useless, taking 45 minutes for someone to respond only to tell you the App is not working. The food in the cafeteria-style buffet is awful. Any food you order ...
Was really disappointed with this cruise. Was recommended by sister who went on a princess cruise to Alaska years ago and the experience was wonderful. This time from arrival to the ship to the disembarking was a nightmare!! No one seemed to know what was going on. Was late leaving the port in Seattle which cut into the time spent at other ports and excursions. Never left the ship in Victoria ...
My Husband and I just returned from a 15-day cruise to Hawaii aboard the Princess Cruise Line.
Firstly, the food was HORRIBLE!! The food was bland & tasteless, meat was tough & hard to eat, breads, rolls were dry & hard. Oatmeal & grits had huge lumps (3 inches long by 1 inch wide to give you an idea) and were off-putting. Multiple times we were told “we ran out of that”. Basic things like ...
We are platinum level on princess cruises. We have sailed on the Royal Princess before, and had a really nice time. I was really disappointed on this trip with the staff and service.
We embarked in San Francisco for a 15 day Hawaii Cruise.
Embarkation:
From the moment we were in the waiting area for embarkation, I knew something wasn’t right.
Embarkation was a nightmare. Huge ...
