We chose this cruise to escape from Dallas where the temperatures are consistently three digit. It was our first Princess cruise, our second Alaska cruise, and about our 25th ocean or river cruise. We booked a mini suite with balcony. This is definitely a ship oriented toward families and a 40-50 year old passenger demographic.
Our experience doesn't support comments elsewhere about the Royal ...
We elected to go on a cruise as it seemed like the easiest way to experience Alaska. From that perspective, this cruise met our needs. The Alaskan ports offered good opportunities to experience the beautiful sights of Alaska. Still, the experience is downgraded by the touristy, completely overcrowded downtowns of the ports themselves. The downtowns seem to be mostly staffed by temporary summer ...
Royal Princess
This was our first cruise and we we’re celebrating our 30 year anniversary with family as well as celebrating our parents 64th!
I honestly was disappointed and might of had too high of expectations. Couple of items that are a must; a balcony room (mid to forward ship mid floor) to escape to so you can privately enjoy the Alaska scenery and escape the 3500 guests on board. ...
I had relatively low expectations having just gone on a Disney Cruise in March. However, Princess somehow found a way to make exceed the sadness of all my expectations.
The one thing I did enjoy was the excursions, but since they were not technically Princess Excursions, I'm not going to credit them for it.
First and foremost, a cruise should always be about the food. Unfortunately the food ...
Think twice about princess cruises, read the reviews on yelp, google, and social media, and good luck getting a refund check from princess cruises after your cruise if you're owed a refund $!!! We pre-paid cruise, excursions, etc before sailing (plus package) for our 7-day alaska cruise from seattle. Our most expensive excursion was canceled by the ship or vendor the day of and no one even ...
We have cruised about 8 times in the past, all with Royal Caribbean. Then we didn't cruise for the past 3 years due to the pandemic. Our first time back to cruising was a weekend cruise to the Bahamas with Royal Caribbean and we were very disappointed by the lack of cleanliness on the pool deck, poor customer service and the quality of the food. I'm not sure if this is a post-pandemic ...
I have been on 8 cruises and this was EASILY the worst. It was my first Princess cruise and will definitely be my last as well. I don't even know where to begin. The food was bad. Like really bad. I have never had a cruise where the buffet was literally inedible, but this was one. The dining room was a little better, but was hit or miss. If you do go on this cruise choose the Allegro dining room. ...
My family was looking for a good cruise line to take on a trip to Alaska and decided to use princess cruise line. My disappointment with this cruiseline began day one of our 7 day cruise. My boyfriend has a pacemaker, he can not have any magnetic or electromagnetic interference with his device. We went through security to get on the ship no problem, when boarding we were given a lanyard with a ...
We have been on more than 20 cruises but none in 3 years due to the pandemic, so I picked this cruise as it was relatively short, inexpensive and easy for the 4 of us to get to. This was our 3rd Alaskan cruise on Princess; the other two had different itineraries.
On the positive side, the food in the Concerta Main Dining Room was excellent as was the service. Although we would have preferred ...
This was a bucket list item for husband and I. It was our 3rd Princess cruise. The Royal Princess is a beautiful ship. But our cruise was a bit disappointing. First, the weather was bad. No one's fault and we did choose May. The scenery is very beautiful. We hardly saw any wildlife which is, again, no one's fault but disappointing. Our hike in Juneau was canceled; we weren't given a ...
