My wife and I sailed on Royal Princess Cruise 15 Nights to Hawaii from San Francisco (27 Mar – 11 Apr) I am Elite Captain’s Circle Member. Our Cabin Steward was excellent Elizalde. Also special praise for Mr Xavier (Guest Service Director) who was extremely helpful with a major issue I had with the Coffee Card/Elite Benefits. Let me start by saying that Royal Princess Cruise Ship is ...

We were on a 15 night cruise to Hawaii on the Royal Princess from February 10th to the 25th. My wife and I are both in our 70’s and Princess has always been one of our favorite cruise lines. Sadly, the food on Princess has markedly declined and since food is a big part of cruising for us, we will consider other cruise lines before we choose Princess again. It is like saying goodbye to an old ...

I have been on over 20 cruises with many different companies. I use to put Princess up there with the best of them but not any more. I am a coeliac and the choice of food for us was so bad, there was nothing after the dinning room closed in the evening. The bakery had 1 thing everyday which was a rice pudding or yogurt mousse sort of thing. They displayed a lovely choice of filled sarnies, home ...

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 have been on over 30 cruises and this was our 11th Princess cruise including 5 wonderful ones last year. We were looking for a little sunshine and we love Hawaii, so this cruise to seemed to fit the bill. We flew into SFO a day early, and the next day enjoyed one of the smoothest embarkations ever! We were on the ship about 15 minutes after arriving at the port! We booked an “obstructed” ...

My mom and I have so far taken 4 cruises, including this cruise, can't say Royal was the best, it was ok tho. We've been on Majestic Princess for an Asia cruise, and since our home base is in SF, and with mom now preferring cruises, we thought we will try all the ones leaving from SF to make it easy. Royal Princess is our first cruise out of SF. Embarkation was a breeze, just make sure you ...

I love the 15 day Hawaii cruise! I have been on Grand Princess and Ruby Princess to Hawaii from San Francisco. Sailed from Pier 27 San Francisco. Inside cabin IF Anytime dining room worked best even with reservations. Less crowded, less waiting. Great food and local dishes. Hawaiian fish and pork. Awesome Ukulele, Hula and Hawaiian craft activities every sea day. ...

This was part 2 of a back to back. We had transit passes and took off early morning for a long walk in San Francisco. After significant improvement on Mexico sailing things really fell apart again on this Hawaii sailing. Firstly the noise level on ship in every venue is so amped up that there is barely a quiet area anywhere just to have a conversation. IT IS DEAFENING. You can clearly hear ships ...

SAN FRANCISCO – HAWAIIAN ISLANDS Roundtrip Deck 15 M725 “Premium Deluxe Balcony”, a completely fabricated description I am an event planner, so hyper-critical. My mantra is that it takes no more effort to do things right than wrong. But you have to CARE. Bottom line for us was ...

We were disappointed in this cruise. The entertainment was sorely lacking, the food was horrible. Everything tasted like curry or the flavoring from the link sausage. Embarkation and debarkation was a nightmare. Not the Princess we've cruised on before. Lack of crew, if you wanted a drink, go to the bar and get it. Princess wasn't ready to sail and they winged it the whole way. It's the ...
