Princess Cruises Reviews

Just awful. Never on Princess again, never. Food was not good, service was poor and indifferent, except in specialty Grill restaurant where we begged to get a table on 2 nights. Food in Italian specialty restaurant was 0. Even the waiter joked that , well this is Italian food cooked by a Phillipine chef. Food in open buffet was just fodder food, little selection and no taste. Cabin waiter was good and doing his job correctly. Our cabins were well appointed, except for little or none toiletries and i even had to ask for a shower cap. Norovirus on ship but that is always a hazzard. Shows were pretty lousy. Mostly OLD passengers, agreed between 70 and 95. A total retirement home with walkers, canes, scooters. DJ nightclub was a joke. The Captain never introduced himself except over the intercom. My sons and I are totally dismayed with this cruise and all the money spent. They flew in from Shanghai and from Madrid just for this cruise. I am NOT happy with Princess. Oh, and my son from Madrid is a GE Power Black Belt engineer. He requested a visit to the Engine room and Bridge with specific interests, with his GE business card. He received a call from Passenger Services telling him that said visit would cost him $150, yes $150! My past cruise experience was last Dec 2013 on Celebrity Summit, and it was 10+. Even organized visits to the Engine Room were free of charge. Am I comparing Apples with Oranges between Princess and Celebrity??

The Emarald Princess is a very beautiful Ship

service

Because we enjoyed the cruise so much and Houston was such a convenient location

Find any friends that would cruise with me I definitely would recommend Tim

the advertise TRX classes and they did not do them...citing per the instructors( we are not certified) really?????? then they should not advertise this class....we like Royal better

Disappointed with the cruise line. Anytime dining was a 2 hour wait between 6pm and 7:45pm every night.

Great cruise

See above. Also, I continued to receive e-mails for one of the other four couples and had to forward them to him because it appearently could not get corrected.

Princess was great

I think Princess Line is my favorite of all the others

Princess does a great job, and was exactly what we wanted. This was a more, well, mature crowd, so we didn't have the water slides, the rock-climbing walls and some of the other things of interest to the 20-something, perhaps, but I think it was closer to the classic cruises of the past--more elegant. For example, we had two formal nights, and contrary to what many had told us, lots of men wore tuxedos. If that's not your idea of a good time, that's fine--but we really enjoyed them.

food is not as good as it use to be

I wouldn't recommend Princess to anyone. Their excursions were ovrpriced and generally not very good. Their food was OK. The flight arrangements they made were obviously made for their benefit, not the customer. We flew from Houston to Atlanta to Peru when there were direct flights from Houston to Lima, Peru. We had to get up at 3 am to fly from Cousco to Lima and then to Santiago before boarding the ship. The Internet service on ship was unusable. Generally the customer service on board was not very good.

We went on Princess and enjoyed it very much. We have cruised on 6 different lines now and we would rate them as the top for our family. The best combination of entertainment, food and service we have had.

The particular cruiseline is not of great importance in my opinion.
