Princess Cruises Reviews

Good cruise....If you want 5 stars the entertainment needs to be better. Main shows were the same as last year...and not very good ;^*( They need better and more entertainment throughout the cruise.

Very interest going thru Panama Canal. Narration on ship excellent & helpful

Thats Was wonderful like always

The ship was nicely appointed and the crew was very good, as were all but one of the shows. The buffet did not change very much from lunch to dinner and from day to day. Princess' private island was not much and required a tender to access it. Falmouth, Jamaica and Grand Cayman also were uninteresting although Grand Cayman looked like it might be a good place to shop. Grand Cayman also required use of a tender. In Cozumel I took a shore excursion to Chitzenitzah. While the travel time far exceeded the time available on site it was well worth the trip. However, the box lunch provided by the ship was awful. For being off the ship from 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM lunch consisted of a ham sandwich (one slice) on a small roll, a small bag of chips, a small cookie and a small bottle of water. Also, the guide used time on the bus to sell merchandise and he spent about 10 minutes on the return trip seeking tips.

This trip had some problems. Some were beyond the control of Princess...lateness, etc. Our main issue with the Caribbean Princess is the meals. We had anytime dining and had to wait at least an hour to be seated unless we went very early or very late. We ordered breakfast in the room when we had to go on an early excursion. The breakfast sandwich we ordered the first day was cold, so we just stuck to cold things....except for coffee. The ship is also just too big for us, which is a personal preference thing.

I was disappointed that we could not watch the Olympic Games. Overall the service was good, no complaints. I had some trouble with the wifi, but the staff was very helpful in solving my problems. The upgrade was very much appreciated, especially with my partner, who had never cruised before, he thought it was pretty nice to have a balcony, the fresh air at night was nice.

Generally OK. Food at buffet COLD,eggs,pancakes,waffles.meats cold. Music ,etc.at pool TOO LOUD< annoying, had to leave. Fortunate that Grand Princess has an indoor pool that is quiet. Excursions not honestly and fully described. Some much more strenuous,uncomfortable military transport truck, yacht with no covered or comfortable seating..

The Cruise was awesome. From the daily activities, the shows, to the food, to the room and its amenities was beyond expectation. The ships cruise directors were fun, engaging and entertaining and took time to take pictures with us. The different excursions we chose were phenomenal and provided a rich history of the country. I would definitely go again.

Cruise itinerary was very good even though it had been changed by Princess. Ship was too large with too many people and not enough facilities. Excursions already paid for weren't available and ship was late leaving ports causing decreased time in the next port

Not enough variation in buffet breakfast or lunches. Sometimes lettuces did not appear fresh. Cabins adequate but if you are overweight you will NOT fit is shower. More care should be taken with waiter and bus staff. They go from table to table taking away dirty dishes and utensils then wipe repeated tables with same cloth. Crabshack and Share mediocre. Grille was worth extra $$ Nickle and diming for things such as cappuccino or expresso. Just increase prices a little Staff at 800 not helpful with helping to plan any land ideas even if staying at hotels with Princess.

Good cruise . Didn't like stateroom in back of ship . Too loud noises heard n disturbing to sleep at night . Certain areas of ship had distinct smell not pleasant to the nose .

We enjoyed our cruise very much. Some islands were better than others. Grand Turk beach adventure that we signed up for was a big disappointment. Poorly organized for transportation and bad beach experience.

They were great. Would use again.

Have done four cruises with princess and always very happy

We enjoyed our cruise with Princess Cruise line. We got what we expected. Typical, main line cruise. Positives: Clean ship Great staff Nice optional meals Nice buffet menu Embarkation and disembarkation was OK Negatives: Dinner menu was just OK. I wish Princess would include better quality steaks and have better "basic" menu options. Trying to get water, coffee, tea or other beverages at buffet was a problem. Other cruise lines provide self service basic beverages. We were disappointed with the size of our balcony.

I do not like huge ships and the Royal Princess was 3500 PAX and 1500 crew. We were being nickelled and died for everything. I will not go on Princess again.

Princess did not impress me on this cruise. Food just ok. Restaurant service extremely slow. Anytime dining took 30 min to be seated. Also 3 of 7 stops had tenders which takes forever to get off leaving less time for private tours. Most staff with the exception of restaurant still wonderful. I really enjoyed international cafe food and service staff.

The buffet; breakfast, lunch and dinner was a joke. I've had better at hometown buffet. The food and service is a big drop from what I expected after recalling a Mexican Rivera cruise some 25 years before. The specialty restaurants were also a disappointment. I had been telling friends, relatives and business associates how much better Princess cruise line was than Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity which I have traveled on during the last few years but I now have changed my opinion of Princess cruise lines to say that Princess has dropped their level to what Norwegian is and that is giving princess the benefit of the doubt while Royal Caribbean and Celebrity is a big cut above princess now but even those cruise lines are still not what Princess was 25 years ago. In my opinion Princess is now mediocre at best compared to what they were some 25 years ago. I was not the only one complaining. Other guest seated at our assigned table were of the same opinion that the buffet was terrible and in general a big disappointment with the Princess Ruby cruise ship over all. I seriously doubt I will cruise the Princess cruise lines in the future based on this recent experience.

We had a wonderful time on the Regal Princess. Our mini suite was so nice & roomy & the food was delicious in the dining room & buffet. The weather in the Caribbean could not have been nicer. To sum it up, it was a splendid vacation!!
