Well to begin with I had the Plus package and still had to pay extra for my wine. Princess is nickel and dimming everyone, it is supposed to be about the experience and there wasn't any. The wine I had to pay more for is not a premium wine. In Canada Cloudy Bay is $21.95 a bottle on sale for $19.95. They charged me 2.75 more after buying a Plus drink package. They said I could buy a bottle for ...
We chose this sailing for an 80th birthday celebration for my mother. We wanted to leave from Galveston and were hoping for a more premium experience than the other lines sailing from there. I don’t think Princess delivered though.
First, the Regal Princess is a beautiful ship. Most of the crew were friendly and thoughtful. However, before I even arrived at the terminal, I expected the worst. ...
We had so much fun! Our room steward was amazing! The food in the main dining room was very good. The breakfast buffet was also very good. The International Cafe was delicious and very easy to grab a quick bite. We went late to the dinner buffet, and it was not so great - but it was late and to be expected. The ports were a lot of fun, and this cruise seemed to be a nice mix of sea days and ...
Wanted a two week cruise in warm weather. This was back to back 7 days each Eastern then Western Carribean. A number of cruisers did this on the ship. Sailed from FLL Eastbound and returned to FLL. Got off the ship and got right back on - just turnaround, no unpacking (for those wondering.) Then Westbound and back to FLL. No issues with embarkation or disembarkation.

It has been several years since we sailed with Princess and the changes are significant. The food quality used to be outstanding and now very average. Cold potatoes on the breakfast buffet and dried out lasagna in the dining room. Menu options just don't seem to go together -- at least for us. I will say the Alfredo was as delicious as ever. What annoyed us most is the free style dining which ...
We chose this cruise mainly because it was going through the Panama Canal which was fantastic, but unfortunately two of the original stops got cancelled, the stop in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua got cancelled just a short time after booking and Grand Cayman got cancelled as the swell was to bad for the tenders.
Pros:
All the staff were excellent
The Medallion App seemed to work well
The ...
Onboarding process over 2 hours due to security breach. Many of us older folks had no place to sit and both standing and making it to the floor were both bad choices. Prior to the cruise I booked dinner reservations at specific times, specific days, and specific locations using the Princess app. On our first night's dinner we were scolded by the receptionist for being late. I asked her, what do ...
This was my first and most likely last Princess cruise. They did not honor the items in Princess Plus package I purchased when booking the cruise through a travel agent a year ago. Guest service staff response was “that was the old package”. How was I supposed to know it changed? Guess they never heard of “grandfathering”!
The room steward was wonderful as was the Amalfi dining room staff. My ...
This is a newer beautiful ship with a great crew and well laid out entertainment areas. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the production shows. This is a cruise that appeals to mature passengers. There are no water slides…
Unfortunately, we had to skip 2 ports. That makes for more at sea days and a disappointment in terms of missing planned shore excursions. I get it - safety first. ...
We wanted a different experience than last years Ruby princess cruise. same month, same ports(sorta). similar ships.
Wanted a better experience with service than last year. we paid extra for the Reserve class. we got it. It only provides dining room service. nothing else. they say you get a better location balcony but i didnt see any difference in that. Service in the dining room was ...
