Princess Cruises - Island Princess Reviews

The entertainment and our formal dining experiences at Princess is wonderful. The staff and crews at the ship always have smile on their face; very accommodating and helpful.

Great, this is our second cruise with Princess. We loved this cruise to the Panama Canal!

We traveled with Princess and overall they were pretty good. We were disappointed in the ships' musical entertainment and speakers.

Excellent food and entertainment. Internet was very intermitent and not up to standard. Internet cost was too expensive for the quality of service provided. Gratuities by all cruise lines are inappropriate. Everything purchased aboard had a 15% gratuity included yet passengers were expected to also pay $12 per day/per passenger. Individual tips given to cabin stewards and meal attendants required mandatory deposit to the ships gratuity pool or face dismissal. All gratuities collected centrally by the ship were divided by level of rank, supervisors and executives are provided a higher percentage of gratuities than the workers. Such policy goes against the purpose of tipping and is unfair, to say the least.

The Princess hotel rooms were a bit dated and the train ride was much too long (11 hours). We also didn't appreciate them allowing jeans in the dining room. However, our room was excellent, the food was the best we've ever had, and the people were very nice.
