San Francisco Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

We bid on an upgrade and were successful. Initially we were in a penthouse suite on Riviera deck. Room was too noisy to sleep so we requested a move. We were moved to Aloha deck at the back of the ship and unfortunately it was actually worse than the previous room. The guest service supervisor was rude and dismissive and told us we expected too much and should have spent more money on a better ...

Words to describe our first time on Princess: average, uninspired, meh, just ok. We usually cruise on Royal Caribbean or Norwegian, but since Crown Princess had a sailing out of SF during our ski week, we decided to try it. Going in, I knew it would be a smaller ship without the activities of an Oasis class RC ship. What I didn't expect was how average it all was. Nothing blew us away. We ...

Friends were traveling on this cruise ship and I was invited to go with them. They had a balcony room on 14. I had to pay double for a room because I was considered "traveling solo!" Public restrooms were horrible! Water was leaking from a light fixture in the ceiling while we were waiting for our room. That was a sign of things to come. Several leaks throughout the ship. Don't ...

We have sailed the Ruby twice in the past year (two different itineraries) and are sad to report that it has continuously gotten worse. The other negative reviews you see below, for the Ruby, are not lying. The ship's condition, staff, and dining needs a major overhaul. We are Captain's Circle Platinum so I am not just being biased to another cruise line when I write this negative review. This ...

We were so very disappointed with this cruise from the outset to our return! First, the princess app was the first disappointment. it oftentimes did not work and was ineffective. we tried doing everything right the first time to avoid any problems, but management of the app was just not on top of things. (a) i could not get my grandson into the green lane; i called several times, and we were ...

We had to use cruise credits and didn't want to fly anywhere so it was really easy (we thought) going out of San Francisco as it is only an hour from our house and we can take the Vallejo Ferry to San Francisco. Great Ferry ride over the bay and called Lyft to take us to the Pier which is just under a mile. Took 35 minutes in the car as traffic was so bad (great driver though). Finally got to ...

We chose this cruise to take our adult grand children to Alaska. They seemed to endure it as it was their first cruise ever. We, on the other hand, have cruised with Princess 9 times previously. This cruise was a complete disaster for us. We were charged for drinks we DID NOT ORDER; Waited over 45 minutes to have our order take in two of the seated area restaurants; drink orders, when we received ...

We were excited to go back to Alaska and visit new ports. Icy Straight Point was a great place. We loved being able to walk through the forest up to the shopping. Prince Rupert was OK - not really anything to do if you don't take an excursion. If they want to make this a more permanent port they need to put in more tourist shops. But the Fire Dept Museum and nice and I was able to get a ...

I have been on several cruise lines over the years, and historically always had a great time on princess. Unfortunately it had been a few years since we had been on a Princess cruise, so this cruise was a bit of a shock On the plus side, almost all of the staff was great, except one woman at the front desk who was so rude, her behavior alone caused me to swear off Princess So, after a long ...

We have enjoyed sailing on Princess in the past, however, this cruise was the worst ever. The cruise port was a disaster from the moment we got off the bus from the airport. The people at the entrance to the cruise port said go stand in line. We asked where the line was and were told over there. Over there turned out to be a circuitous line with over a thousand people in it. There were NO ...
