Will definitely cruise on this ship again if we have the chance. Embarkation was a breeze we were on board within 30 minutes of port arrival. Disembarkation was also good also around 30 mins after joining cue.
We have cruised with R.C, P&O, and Carnival previously and found this ship to be in most aspects a cut above. The decor is clearly more premium including the stateroom. Staff were ...
Whilst not everything on the ship is working, deck 19, the rest of the ship is fantastic. We had a mini suite. Thd cabin is well appointed, slightly disappointing that there was no coffee machine in the cabin but as we could get fresh coffee and drinks on the lido, literally just a 1 min walk from the cabin or use ocean now delivery, so not the end of the world. The restaurants are fantastic with ...
I guess the size of your dividend matters if you hold Princess Cruises shares but the size of the queues matters if you are a passenger on their new giant ships. And I really wonder how much longer the wonderful crews they employ can keep carrying their reputation and where the cruise industry is heading with the number of passengers they are cramming onto their ships.
OK this was our 8th ...
The room looked nice but opened the curtains to the balcony and turned around to see hair from previous guests everywhere and something had been spilled all down the front of the table and fridge. Nothing seemed to be sanitized ( same dirty rag to wipe down tables without a spray of disinfectant on all outside deck areas and the Eatery tables). In the Eatery breakfast and lunch served the same ...
FOOD
Worst Bacon and Coffee of any cruise ship. Poached eggs came out without and white - just a yolk.
Worst breakfast Service ever - 45 minutes for eggs to arrive. Cold toast turned up 5 minutes later.
It was only an 8 day cruise but repetion of menu wasn't great.
None of these had a huge impact on overall experience. We didn't starve :)
SHIP
Worst designed Ship we've sailed on. ...
This was the 10th Princess Ship I have cruised on, she (the Enchanted) is now my favorite, for many reasons. There were a few changes in venues & offerings from other Princess Ships, even from other Princess Royal Class Ships. Change can be good, and I happily embraced the new & different. I was joined on this sailing by my niece, who was on her very first cruise. Auntie has spoiled her by ...
This was my 9th Princess cruise in the past four and a half years (Platinum Captain's Circle member), and third time on Enchanted Princess (previous two were in 2022). The staff is just as wonderful as every Princess ship! Unfortunately, this cruise experience was not anywhere near as enjoyable as previous two cruises. long wait times for drinks led us to believe that they are understaffed. We ...
All I will say is that COVID must have devastated Princess. Their cost cutting measures are extensive. As a top of the line suite passenger, we come to expect certain little things that help make the cruise memorable. They have eliminated flowers in the suite, chocolates at bed turn down, the sewing kit, pen and stationary, the fruit basket until we asked for one and individual soaps and shampoos. ...
The ship is beautiful and very clean. The staff is very friendly and they all do a great job.
The food in the buffet was just OK and the biggest concern was there was very little change on the buffet during our 10 day cruise. The same selections every day got boring quickly.
However the food in the Main Dining Room was amazing. It was very flavorful and out wait staff was fantastic. It was ...
Overall we enjoyed our 10 day cruise. We had a few issues that we know were a problem for others - I would want to be forewarned so read on if you are booked on Princess for a future trip. Note - my parents are late 60s and my son is almost 13 so it was the four of us.
Embarkation - flew in the night before, stayed at Home2Suites in FLL. Hotel was just ok. Embassy is better but for the 6 hours ...
