Princess Cruises Reviews

I was disappointed with this Asia Princess cruise. I had cruised with Princess cruise line 4 times including this Asia cruise & every time I was happy & impressed by Princess cruises that's why I kept going back to Princess & I even recommended this Asia Cruise with the Sapphire Princess to my famiy & all 9 of us celebrated Christmas on board the Sapphire Princess but we were disappointed & unhappy with this cruise not least of which was the cancellation of Koh Samui stopover.

Ship was very beautiful, although showing some wear. Service was friendly but average on performance with a few specific crew members going the extra mile. Buffet table tops were kept clean but at times had food crumbs etc left over under the tables from the previous service. Specialty restaurants were impeccable. Steward did what was necessary but nothing extra. There was a lack of handicap services / excursions that were not the fault of the ship, but just noting that the Caribbean is not the most handicap accessible location if that is a concern. Still very few actual hassles, or problems. Ship performance was very steady and smooth and Cruise director was very active/energetic and entertainment people were very skilled and enjoyable. Guest singer Stacey Kay was a lot of fun. All in all a very nice trip.

The Panama Canal is one of the greatest man-made wonders of the world. It represents vision, great human sacrifice and a great contribution to world trade and interaction between peoples.

The staff on the Coral Princess were very nice, and attentive. However, I was totally disappointed in the VERY SHORT port stop at Cartagena, Columbia. Secondly, I was disappointed in the food in the upper cafeteria....in comparison to other ships I have cruised on, it seemed like the same kind of food every day. The only exception was the last 2 days where an excellent prime rib roast was served and then Beef Wellington. The food in the Province and Bordeaux was better except for the Salmon! Again the staff were Praiseworthy. The ship even though was supposed to be refurbished showed wear and tear ......Lastly, the mini suite was okay....but disappointed in how shabby it looked, especially after being on a Celebrity cruise....with Concierge class(Balcony) better perks....ie fruit, appies daily......the couch in our suite was nasty, with stains and crumbs under the cushion! (not to blame our steward who was very attentive), the couch should have been discarded! Also query...if you are paying extra for a balcony, mini suite etc....why should you pay extra gratuities...seems like a penalty to me!

food at the buffet was always luke warm not hot toast was always cold there was no cold water in the shower and bathroom could not adjust temp of water sabatini was great wonderful service very skimpy on the amount of liquor in the drinks tasted more water or soda than liquor had a problem with the mattress in one of the beds took them forever to rectify the problem staff was exceptional room steward dining room included

Loved the cruise!!

Food was sub standard. Most of the time food was cold at best. Room was ???? told that my walker was no problem..{by your staff} Had to take it apart to get in door way. Have been on Holland America many times in the past. This was a test..for your line..Sorry to say it did not get a passing grade....TGR & MMR..

Over the years entertainment has gone down. We do the Mexican cruise every year and lots of entertainment is the same...food has also gone down. Service for anytime dining is very poor ;^*(

Food in main dining room quite good - buffet food was very bland and tasteless. Desserts looked lovely but they all tasted the same! Iced tea was like brown water. Blech!! Movies shown were marginal. Need to take into account your audience, which was older - most movies were the ones kids like. All excursions we took went off like clockwork. The cabin was lovely and bed divine. Breakfast on the balcony every morning. Heaven.... The entertainment was hit or miss but we did not attend every night. The musical/dance group shows were excellent!! There was an author who was promoting his books on the cruise and it became apparent during Q&A with the audience that he was quite a bigoted racist. We walked out on that one. Overall we did have an enjoyable time but wish the food was better. Staff were exceptional. :-)

I love Princess.

Good ship Nice staff Good cooking Some excusions better than others but it would have been worthwhile just for the canal.Impressive!
