What I loved about this cruise was that almost everybody on the ship were 55 or older. No kids and families took this two-week cruise in December. The weather was great. The ship atmosphere was relaxed. Our staff were friendly and attentive. I engaged with most people I came in contact with, asking them how many cruises they have been on, and of course where are they from. (Most everybody ...
I travelled alone for a first-time cruise and chose this itinerary because I live in NYC, wanted an easy, stress-free vacation, and loved the itinerary (which included two ports at which I could visit with family and friends). My home is an easy cab ride from the terminal. I had received my medallion by mail and got on to the ship very quickly. At the end of the sailing, I got off the ship ...
First cruise since Covid, our first cruise with Princess. What a wonderful experience!
No hassle embark and disembark process in Brooklyn with our “Medallion” digital wearable device, which also was used throughout our cruise for all our activities. It made our cruise and excursions seamless!
The staff at all levels on this cruise went above and beyond to provide help and comfort with ...
Embarkation: arrived at the port at 11:45. Baggage handlers were ready at the curb. We were in the green lane and proceeded quickly thru security and onto the ship.
The ship was in great condition. We had an unexpected sea day at the start of our journey because tropical storm Ophelia caused us to leave New York Harbor a day late. The ship anchored for our first night near the Verrazano ...
We chose this as an anniversary cruise as we got engaged in Bar Harbor and have not been back since.
We were quite concerned about Hurricane Lee but it ended up being of no consequence, we had calm seas and only rain in Boston, other wise perfect weather.
We arrived early at JFK and took a Lyft to the cruise port in Brooklyn ( It was about $ 65-70) Our plan was to dump our luggage and ...
What started on an innocent sunny day in August turned out to be an adventure we will always remember. Despite being impacted by (2) Hurricanes, the fires in Maui, and multiple medical emergencies, the Princess Staff and Officers rallied to help us all make the best experiences possible. The weather to Hawaii was hot and sunny, which was really nice. The last minute decision to reroute to Kona ...
My wife and I have cruised to Hawaii four times but always in the fall or winter. We wanted to try a cruise to Hawaii in the summer. We booked a one-bedroom suite about a year before the cruise which was 16 night round-trip from Port of Los Angeles. We like round-trip from LA because it is about 45 minutes from our home. We have cruised Princess 11 times prior to this cruise and have always ...
[First, I should mention that we are not alcohol drinkers, and therefore our commentary will not reflect at all on that particular aspect that is admittedly quite important for some readers to know about.]
The crew was excellent beyond expectation whether we are speaking about cruise director Fer-r-r-nando, the instrumental musicians (special shout-out to the trumpeter), dancers, singers, ...
I've been sailing for 22 years mostly on Carnival and Royal. The trip was outstanding in all categories from ship to cabin Stewart. Food was actually a little better than Royal and Carnival. Ship center was way to small, the Piaza. The excursion were very good and met our needs. It must be noted that there were many elderly and handy cap on this ship. Not many youth. At time the elderly had ...
There were 3 of us traveling...me (40's), daughter (12 1/2) and mom (70's). We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, which was CA coastal (with San Francisco overnight). My mom and I had sailed with Princess many times (8 for me and 25 for her), but had been primarily sailing Royal Caribbean recently. We initially booked a mini-suite, but had concerns of only having the tub/shower ...
