Coastal - West Coast Cruise Reviews

It was a nice local cruise for us. We got to see some fall foliage in Vancouver and Victoria and the weather was absolutely perfect.

Wonderful ship; friendly staff; good food. Stayed in The Haven which allowed more privacy.

This repositioning cruise down the Pacific coast from Vancouver to San Diego with stops in Astoria San Francisco and Santa Barbara was excellent

Beautiful ship mainly nice staff but NCL need a lesson in how to schedule a cruise like this. I would 100% not recommend this itinerary as NCL are not organised at all for an out of the routine itinerary. Ship sat in the middle of the sea until we got to start boarding at 7pm, took until 10pm to get on. Muster drill at 11pm. Port in Vancouver cannot handle 4000 arriving at once. NCL could of avoided this by booking the Bliss a berth earlier before the other cruise company's book theirs. To then cancel Seattle as we boarded despite us finding out that it had been cancelled days before from a taxi driver on Vancouver island wasnt great. We got some rediculious excuse it was due to US immigration So then when we arrive in San Francisco and it takes 5 hours to clear us all. Total fail on NCL part. Their scheduling department need the sack, they have failed at every opportunity.

We loved the ship Had noise issue and mark saved our cruise by moving our room Liter saves our vacation Sent up a bottle of wine He was wonderful

Awesome crazy fun had a great time ( do not listen to those negative people when standing in lines to get on or off ship then you’ll have a great time,You know the ones they been on every cruise and can’t find anything positive to say ) on my review about and the payment I meant to say jersey boys and the group SIX spellcheck was on please my apologies to everyone safe journeys call my shipmates.

Embarkation and muster drill were terrible. The ship was beautiful, but many venues were closed or packed. Not enough elevators. Staff was great. Food quality excellent with ample variety. Entertainment was top notch.

This was our first cruise and now we are excited for the next one which will be to Alaska. The minute we got on ship we were "on vacation" to the minute we left. Every thing and everyone was over the top more than I could of imagined. Thank you, until next time.

It was a small ship. Small cabin. Smelled like a sewage dump on deck 12 while in SanFrancisco. Dumping the holding tanks I guess.

This was a great get away for us because we didn't need to fly anywhere. Many people on this cruise were from Washington which made Seattle a great port. All the ports were great walking cities and you didn't need to book an excursion to have fun. The weather was good. There was no rain the entire week and we went from cold in Seattle and Astoria to warmer in San Francisco and Monterey. There were some younger people on this cruise, but the majority were at retirement age. Very few children were on this cruise. Princess does not have all the water slides, and activities you will find on Carnival or RC, but that's nice for making this a relaxing time. The food and service is exceptional.

The crew and staff on the Star Princess are what made it so special. They seem to really like their jobs, and each other, and it showed. Look forward to sailing on her again soon.

Nice for adults. Very limited entertainment for kids

A nice getaway and having one port makes it a bit more interesting than a repositioning cruise. If you are interested in seeing if cruising is for you this is a nice itinerary to try.

A great getaway. The ship is awesome and a great size.

This was a nice relaxing cruise. The ports of call were interesting and we loved the excursions we took to Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the beautiful Butchart Gardens.

I was really disappointed with this cruise from embarkation until disembarkation. I’ve been on the Ruby before and totally enjoyed it but this was more like a cattle ship cruise. Waiters were either new or unfriendly. Dining room was noisy and slow so we went up to the Lido, which was mediocre at best. Service was very poor. I have two more cruises with Princess booked, one out of Quebec and the other a world cruise, but if the Quebec Cruise is like this one I’m cancelling the World cruise. I pity the people who continued on the Hawaii and Australia.

Overall enjoyed my 3 day cruise, decent food. Ship is very nice. Plenty of chairs at all the pools, staff did a very good job.

We have concluded that 3 days is merely a sampler! 🤣.

Overall disappointing. And the way the mishap with the oil spill and resulting travel delay was handled is this far awful. As a result, may never go on this line again!

It was a great 1st time experience. Overall the ship and its amenities and activities are all great. We had so much fun. We had a large group and they accommodated us with special arrangements. Thank you Ruby Princess and all the staff that has helped us.
