"Haugesund- off the ship and did a 5 mile hike around the town
Skjolden- get up early for the sail in is stunning - we did a rib boat tour with Adventure tours- stunningly beautiful
Olden- Loen Skylift- purchase tickets on line ahead of time - have a coffee in the cafe up top- we were fogged out here but tried our best to make a day of it
Bergen- Funicular- tickets on line ahead of time and head here first, then walked around town and had coffee
1:00 flight back - blackberry car waiting for us- at Heathrow by 9:00 am
Summary and thoughts: We think Princess offers good value for the money.We had embarkation day lunch in the dining room- this is a gem- we enjoyed all the lunch food and with fantastic service and no hustle in bustle...."Read More
Firstly, this ship is too big with far too many people onboard and not enough staff. Unfortunately this cruise was during half term so the pools were taken over by children who even had their own blow-up toys in the water. Not enough seating in the public areas. Sunbeds on the decks are almost touching each other. Poor service in the dining room. Wine is served to you already in a glass and not by ...
In summary, a fantastic cruise.
Recently, we've sailed with so-called budget lines (MSC\Costa) with an NCL cruise dotted in. Sometimes it's worth paying that bit extra and Princess certainly felt like that.
The quality of the food was 1st class (Bit disappointed with Crown Grill to be honest - scallops overcooked but Sabitinis was absolutely fantastic). Buffet selection was superb. ...
We travelled as a family two groups one group of Grandparents and son and daughter in law with a seven month old baby. We booked two mini suites which were really lovely, well furnished and really comfy beds with lovely duvets and pillows. We took our own travel cot for the baby because Princess did not guarantee that one would be available!!!! The weather was horrendous as we travelled with ...
Avoid E504 like the plague. The noise in this cabin was like a trapped poltergeist trying to escape from inside of the cabin walls. The banging noise was frightening. This only happened at sea. It took loads of complaints and after 8 days we moved to a quiet cabin. This problem affected quite a number of passengers in the lower/middle ship area. Disembarkation was terrible, its was running over ...
This was my 15th Princess cruise and the best yet in terms of the ship itself. The ports of Azores, Madeira, Casablanca, Cadiz and Lisbon were fine but not trip highlights for me. Note: if one of your main concerns is the main dining room or the specialty restaurants, look elsewhere as I no longer go there on any cruise.
The ship is beautiful. The whole boarding process from being bused ...
We took this cruise to see Portugal again and get to Uk. We chose an inside cabin to save some money . I booked thru princess because it was our first time on them and I wanted a good cabin. I said I wanted stateroom ubove and below. Our room was over the piazza. We had music blasting in our room until 12:15 am. We called nightly and no one did a thing. We were told there were no rooms to move ...
This cruise gave us an opportunity to fulfill our 'bucket list" of making through the TransAtlantic cruise with NO cancellation of Ports. Thanks to the leadership of Captain Heikki Laakkonen and his team. Strong waves for a couple days, yet we managed to have a great time..e enjoyed the company of seven other guest in our table which made the dinner evening interesting and had much laughter!! ...
This was truly an amazing trip we loved every minute and every day on this cruise. The medallion on the ship was perfect all but one time you can order drinks anywhere and it almost comes to you. You have to keep your eye out the service team can’t always find exactly where you are at with your medallion. There was one time i ordered drinks and they did not arrive to me and was still taken those ...
Just got back from the Western Caribbean and Mexico on a Sky Princess cruise with three other couples. It’s really easy for passengers to arrange a two-tank dive in advance while visiting Roatan in the Honduras Bay Islands, as well as other Caribbean ports like Cozumel and Costa Maya.
We chose Sun Divers Roatan, as well as Papa Hog's Scuba Emporium in Cozumel and Amigos del Mar in Costa ...
We were pleasantly surprised when we were upgraded to a beautiful mini suite in front of the ship. Princess has always been our go to cruise line. The cruise workers were exceptional like always,no complaints. But the buck stops there. This was our 19th cruise with them our 50th in total. However, we were so disappointed with the shows, the entertainment and also the quality of some of the ...
