Princess Cruises Reviews

Having been on 15 other cruises, this was our third on Princess. From boarding,, which was mixed up to do a cleaning regimen on ship and shore, with little help from staff where to go if you had a Medallion, to no clocks on the ship having the same time, one on the TV, one hour ahead on the deck, and one hour behind inside, too many little things wrong. Haven't had Planks BBQ and Steamers for over two years, but signs still up in the buffet, People who didn't know they could use the space crowded the main sitting area, while there was always space in the two section noted. Staff did not have good direction in serving at the buffet, witnessed several staff simply walk away from their serving stations. Not enough staff cleaning up in the buffet, at one point we had 3 courses of dishes on our table and no one clearing. Very poor supervision, and maybe even simply not enough staff on the ship. Reliance on the app too much, had a green setting, got the QR code for boarding , but had to tap four separate times to find out what our boarding time was. After the Emergency Notification by email on later boarding, the app never changed the time to reflect the later boarding time. And our green notice and QR code were never checked or requested. What ever happened to Main Dining Room where you could go to the same table at the same time with the same waiters, couldn't find this on the app or on the computer. So we had a 6:20 reservation in the Palm, every night was a different table, different seat mates, and different waiters. I can agree with the debt they have taken on over Covid needs to be addressed in many ways ,but I doubt that we will sail on Princess again.

It was my first cruise and was truly wonderful. Perfect weather at all the stops and very calm seas?. Now I’m spoiled.

Amazing trip. Great ports, weather was incredible. Ship, although older, was very nice and the food and amenities exceeded our expectations.

Great time ports were beautiful,ship was also beautiful.

The service on board and entertainment were great but the food in the main dining rooms was not very good most nights. The specialty restaurants had excellent food but there is a up charge. The mini suite was very spacious, I highly recommend this type of room.

It was Awesome and very relaxing and needed. We enjoyed ourselves

I would like first to thank the travel agent we worked with Pam Dudley. She was great and we are so happy we booked this cruise. It was a great getaway during a rainy time in the bay area of California. We loved the crew, we loved socializing on the boat. The food was excellent as was everything. We especially liked the Grill. Our first cruise and we loved the balcony and watching the sunset's drinking delicious margaritas. We loved the Zumba in the morning led by the enthusiast Arrrrrmando. The excursions were pretty good and an excellent way to go with only one day in Port. The Princess Cruise did a great job! Thanks for arranging it for us. Brian and Carole Jones

Have always loved Princess cruises. This was a good cruise. More time at sea than I prefer, but Australia is a large country. My only criticism is that it was difficult getting a beverage when we ate at the buffet. It was difficult flagging someone down, often the only beverage available was coffee or water.

We just completed a 7 day Western Caribbean Cruise on the Princess Sky ship, everything on the cruise went very well. The ship is in very pristine shape as it is fairly new, with all the technology on this ship I was surprised the elevators you had to press the buttons. All staff were very nice and the food was good, we had dinner in all 3 main dining rooms which was good to visit each dining room but I think we preferred 1 large dining room instead. Overall we would cruise with Princess Cruise Line again as their value for the cruise was great..

Excellent cruise to very nice ports.

Got Covid as a bonus ?

The primary goal of the cruise was to introduce our son's significant-other to cruising. She thoroughly enjoyed it! Our deep appreciation to Patricia Begrowicz and all that she put into this cruise!

We enjoyed it.

too crowded, difficult to find seats at many onboard events

There were 4 at sea days with not a lot on their calendar to do. A bit dissatisfied with the same food being on the lunch buffet and breakfast buffet. We tried the dining room for breakfast only once because service was not great and neither was the selection. Our evening dinners were superb in the dining room and so was our waitress!
