Princess Cruises Reviews

We had a small family reunion of the Siblings for an exploration of the North Atlantic, mostly where we hadn't spent time: Iceland, Greenland plus stops in England and Ireland. The vessel needs updating.... plumbing issues, electrical...and we had reliably modest internet for only 4 of the 16 days... the other days were, well, pre 1990 internet. In spite of all that, we had a great time. Highlights were our reunion get-togethers for cocktail hour, trivia team times when at sea (10 of the 16 days), meeting kindred spirits on the boat from around the world, experiencing the amazing Prince Christian Sound in Greenland, exploring Iceland on Princess tours to the waterfalls, the hotsprings (!!), towns, hiking opportunities, exploring Qaqortaq, Greenland that reminded me of many decades ago Alaska - I loved that place and the wonderful ice cream/espresso cafe that was off-the main path and filled with other explorers, friendly locals. Also the amazing and personalized tour my sister arranged in Cornwall to visit Tintagel with ever so competent and delightful Susan Hockey (cornishheritagesafaris.com.uk). The Princess photo team was fantastic and captured many moments for us and others to keep and treasure!

Not the cruise lines fault. One port was cancelled because of landslide and one excursion was cancelled because of ice. Money was reimbursed but can't make up for the disappointment. Back-up port was ok but oh well.

The food in the buffet was absolutely terrible.

The ship was great, especially the penthouse suite with the concierge across the hall! Well worth the money. The suite we had is the best cruise ship accommodations I have ever experienced. Embarkation in Seattle was not good at all. Very disorganized and no special consideration for suite guests. The food was very good and sometimes excellent.

Outstanding organization and seamless execution of all elements of the cruise-tour. Love the Royal class ships; excellent food, service, and entertainment. 3 production shows on a 7-day cruise! Transition from ship to land tour was well-executed and the Princess lodges in Denali were quite nice. Luggage picked up from, and delivered to, rooms at each stop. Lodge restaurants were Alaska-expensive with limited options, but that was expected. Best lodge restaurant during the land tour was in the adjacent Holland America lodge in Denali. Also love the food and beverage delivery service via the Medallion app on the ship.

The ship was very nice and had good food.

Rain caused vision problems that related to shore tours especially. Ship experience was fine. Same good day after day got old. Both medallions went dead and had to replace. Didn’t get animal towels on bed and mints like on some cruises.

The entire experience was wonderful, from cruise staff, excursions, food, and of course the all inclusive package. Already recommended to several folks.

As good as advertised!

The cruise was fantastic! We enjoyed the cruise portion more than the land. The staff and food was great. Only hiccup was the Customs personal in Vancouver were extremely rude but other than that, it was a great trip!

I will never use Avoya Travel again - Also Old The Crown Princess Cruise Ship was plagued by severe engine problems, shaking & severe noise and was constantly being maintained - getting rea, mid-ship sewage smell, bad itinerary, mediocre food at best: shall I go on? Oh yes, we spent (all ten of us) thousands of dollars for our 'dream vacation' ....spent maybe 9-10 hours off ship in the Alaska land. The Medallion App was a joke - then two of us are still sick from catching COVID last day of cruise. Now what will you do?

Our app didn’t work, so that was frustrating.

Beautiful accommodations Exciting scenry

Terrible bait & switch! Not the cruise we signed up for. Significantly reduced times in ports. Temperature in our suite not able to be regulated due to ships reduced power issues. Will never cruise on Princess again!

Carribean Princess, balcony cabin seemed smaller than my usual . Shore excursion personnel were not organized ( not the excursion desk people) dri k servers were extremely nonattentive!

Lousy entertainment, ship in need of refurbishment; food not so good in dining rooms. Itinerary and weather were excellent. Princess needs to step up and fix problems as they are reported , not 8 days later.
