The Covid Cruise by GFN

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Koningsdam

Ship design was precarious, too many people for too few staff members, and public areas weren't kept up regularly. (Likely due to the thrice-mentioned staffing issue.) Half of my family contracted COVID on the boat, and we were treated like utter garbage when that revelation hit. Other than our room stewards (who were excellent), the room itself (the balcony view was breathtaking), and the food in the main areas... this is likely the last cruise I'll ever go on. Period.

Overall I'm glad we did this ship and this itinerary, but it definitely wasn't our favorite cruise.

Lots of fun but too short! by DrJET

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Koningsdam

We booked this cruise at the last minute while on another, longer cruise and really enjoyed it. But we'll likely stick with the longer cruises that have more ports.

Just ok by kristwinsmom

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Koningsdam

This review asked for photos and we didn’t take any. Omg. I guess that says something about the cruise. We relaxed on this cruise but we probably won’t book Holland America again.

PRINCESS NOT LIVING UP TO PREVIOUS EXPECTATIONS by djtraugott

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Discovery Princess

THIS IS ONE OF PRINCESS'S NEWEST SHIPS. IT HAS BEEN STRIPPED DOWN OF PRINCESS AMENITIES. THE CABINS DO NOT EVEN HAVE PAPER AND PEN ANYMORE TO USE. NO BAR SOAP. ALL LIQUID SOAPS FOR SHOWERING AS WELL. HAD TO ASK FOR ICE BUCKET. TV'S HARD TO OPERATE. NO BAGS {REALLY!} FOR PEOPLE WHO PURCHASE ANY SHOP MERCHANDISE. VERY LITTLE ITEMS TO CHOSE FROM WITH PRINCESS LOGO ON THEM. TOO HIGH END FOR LOCALS TO USE THE SHIP FOR A WEEK OF VACATION. THE FOOD? REALLY A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEAT HAD GRIZZLE ON THEM. SMALL BROKEN BONES IN THE CHICKEN PIECES BECAUSE THE CARVING STAFF IS TRYING TO MAKE CHICKEN PIECES SMALLER. SOME ITEMS NOT ABLE TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF DISH IT WAS. PRINCESS REALLY GONE DOWN HILL. OLDER CRUISERS KNEW THE DIFFERENCE. MAYBE YOUNGER CRUISERS WILL ACCEPT THE STRIPPED DOWN CHANGES BUT NOT US OLDER CRUISERS. WILL LOOK TO OTHER CARRIERS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE CHEAPENED THEIR SHIP LINE PRODUCTS AS PRINCESS HAS DONE.

Was a relaxing cruise of the west coast. by suztucker

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Discovery Princess

We enjoyed the cruise. Was an older crowd of people, many our age. There weren't many children on the cruise. Overall, we had a restful time and enjoyed the cruise. Might even do it again, but hopefully on a smaller ship.

Beautiful Ship! by dtextqueen

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Discovery Princess

This was a wonderful cruise. Our cabin was beautifully appointed and large. Dining rooms were not as elegant as other ships. Food was fair to good. Entertainment was wonderful with many different venues. Elevators were horrible. Long waits and 95% of the time very crowded.

Thank God for California weather! couldn't have been better! by the1mac

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Eclipse

The Wifi was not working on the ship; although the ship ambassadors were willing to help, it never worked. You're specialty restaurants are too expensive, starting at $55+ . Art on board is the same I've seen in other cruises. Add more storage to your rooms. Intercom was not working in Concierge rooms.

Excellent Pacific Coast Cruise by dimy1979

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Discovery Princess

This was an outstanding cruise and if this same route (6 nights - Vancouver to San Pedro), I would highly recommend. This cruise is setup especially for wine lovers as they have extra sessions ($39 each) that let you taste several wines from specific vineyards. Also very good accompanying food is provided with the wine. Lots of wine lovers on board, but this cruise is for anyone. The Princess staff are excellent in every way possible.

West Coast Fall Cruise by jhibb68

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Radiance of the Seas

This was our first trip on a Radiance Class ship and we enjoyed it very much! Some of the bars and public areas are beautifully designed and decorated while others are a little dated. The ship has all of your favorites specialty restaurants, most of your favorite activities, and the staff and crew were fantastic as always. We grew to really like the Centrum design and enjoyed many bands and performers from this central point on the ship. Diamond members might be a little disappointed in the Diamond lounge as it was often at full capacity and the coffee machine was out of order most of the trip.

Trying to find the words... by susanfromcalif

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Radiance of the Seas

Fall is such a beautiful time to travel, but we were greatly disappointed. Last two cruises on RC were good. What happened? Is it this ship? This itinerary?

Great Pacific Coastal Adventure by JHM81

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Radiance of the Seas

The repositioning itinerary provided a way to visit multiple ports without having to return to Vancouver. With two sea days, adding San Francisco as a stop would have improved the trip. Overall, an enjoyable cruise.
