Venice Princess Grand Princess Cruise Reviews

Although we booked this cruise very late, we had an aft balcony cabin on the Baha deck, and loved the location - across from the laundry and after the last set of elevators. We enjoyed mostly beautiful weather, mostly calm seas, and wonderful blue skies. We did miss one port - Katakalon (for Olympia, Greece) because of thunderstorms and large waves. But, in a port-intensive cruise as this, ...

I will begin with a warning: I am very detail oriented, and so is this review. If you are looking for a quick glance, keep looking. This review is LONG, really LONG. I have dreamed of visiting Greece and Italy for as long as I can remember. This year, my husband gave me this trip as a very special birthday present. Unfortunately, as we booked the trip, a work conflict prevented his accompanying ...

To begin with there were five cities, four countries, three historical eras, two continents, and one ship - the Grand Princess. This cruise began Venice, a leading renaissance era city, visited the heartlands of Greek history, and concluded in Naples and Rome - central to Roman culture. Included in the tour were Italy, Croatia, Greece, and Turkey, located in Europe and Asia. Ports of call included ...

After doing a lovely land trip of France and Italy the year before we seriously considered canceling this cruise, but thought logistically, it would just be too hard to cover the territory by land. We were right ! We flew Vancouver to London on Air Canada non stop which was lovely and even better was we were upgraded to business class. We very easily navigated our way with luggage on the ...

This was my and my husband's second cruise on the Grand Princess, having done he Norwegian Fjords cruise in July 2007. We were very pleased with the food, service and facilities last year, but I can say with complete honesty that Grand Princess had actually made some real improvements this year! We took my parents and sister and her friend with us this year - and it was their very first ...

I had always wanted to go on a cruise to the Greek Islands and finally my wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary by taking this 12 day cruise from Venice to Rome aboard the Grand Princess. We flew to Venice two days early to stay in one of our favorite cities. It was great to roam around Venice and get over jet lag before boarding the ship. EMBARKATION Getting to the port in Venice is ...

First, a little background. This cruise was meant to be the cruise of a lifetime. It was the most expensive cruise I have ever taken, and was a great disappointment in several ways, although my friend and I had a great time. This was my fourteenth cruise, first on Princess. I have cruised four times on Royal Caribbean, three each on HAL and Celebrity. Once each on Carnival and NCL. The chances I ...

In order to make this as user friendly as possible, Ill break it down by category. You may pick and choose as you please. Ive tried to give an objective personal view of our trip. There were some great things, and some things that could have been better. Just a caveat&these are my opinions only and Im sure others have a different perspective. Any negatives we experienced were far outweighed ...

This was not only our first cruise but also our honeymoon so expectations were high as a lot of people have sung high praises for the Princess cruise line (P&O sister Company, part of the Carnival group.) We started the trip to join our ship on the 3rd July 2006 at Heathrow to meet our chartered flight of Qantas. Our opinion of the flight was satisfactory. We arrived at Venice for embarkation ...

We had a group of 8 adults in our party. We discussed several cruise lines and decided to take this trip only due to the itinerary. We had several members in our group that had traveled on the Princess lines and said we would not be happy. The itinerary won out. They were correct. The boat looks tired, dingy and needs to have a major renovation. The staterooms have minimal storage space for an ...
