Do Not Book Cabin 1088 by aloha2469

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Westerdam / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Suffice to say the Westerdam cruise was a great experience. I am writing this to hopefully advise you not to book cabin 1088 or any other cabin in the vicinity. Here are two reasons why: (1) The stabilizers are under this cabin and are used constantly while cruising and you will feel the vibrations and very loud noise as they are employed an deployed through out the night. (2) The kitchen is somewhere directly above and you will hear large carts being moved back and forth during the cruise. FORWARNED.....you will not get any sleep....

Itinerary selections provided by is site do not include the correct cruise dates. Other wise, ship wait staff and cabin staff were as always excellent. Customer service representatives at front desk need to be more experinced with handling issues. by FlorenceChiane

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Grand Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

We had to spend hours of our vacation time to resolve an issue. Customer Service at front desk unwilling to assist with resolving our issue. several attempts to speak with a supervisor were fruitful. Finally engaged with the Manager on last day of the cruise who was very sympathetic and offered compensation. I do not fell that I came back New at all.

Not really a cruise person by stevadore

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Star Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Again, I've discovered I do not enjoy cruise ships. We only did this because there was a group of us family members. If the weather was nicer, we would have had a more pleasant experience being able to utilize our balcony more and escape the crowds.

First Princess Experience by scb36

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Star Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Overall we really enjoyed this cruise. The room left something to be desired but amenities were top notch. I would recommend this cruise and cruise line to others. Just pay attention to potential weather issues and exactly what you are getting for a cabin. I will certainly consider Princess in the future. Other than the TINY room, I think this was a very enjoyable cruise with a great staff, restaurants, lounges and bars.

Disappointing by bzellosimpson

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Ruby Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Cruise seemed to be geared towards elderly/retired people. If you weren't retired, staff didn't bother with you. Cruise director was ok, but not great. Won't take another Princess cruise.

Spring Break cruise to Cabo by ThnxRedRock

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Ruby Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

We stick with Princess because of the comp offers from the casino that I play at, however, I’m starting to explore other options. We’ve had no problems with Princess, but as a relatively new cruiser, I’m starting to wonder what else is out there - especially as it pertains to teen activities. The service is always great, the accommodations are acceptable, the ships are clean and functional, the food could be improved, and the 24 hour room service (limited menu) is great!

Not Great by CommodoreSal

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Ruby Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

This Ruby Princess fell well below my expectations. The majority of the crew were careless and rude. Any time you brought up an issue the standard response was, “We are sorry booked”. I don’t think they know they are in a hospitality industry. Sure they have you captive for a week, but not as returning customers. I can’t imagine they will still be in business 5 years from now if they don’t drastically change their training and attitude. Last note, no one person in our party of ten would ever take another Princess Cruise again. And I’m sorry to feel that way about Princess.

Wonderful Trip with a few hic-ups by Zomco

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Ruby Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

This is the third time we've taken this cruise, its an easy fun get away. If you have never taken a cruise before I would recommend this to anyone. Please don't let the few issues I've identified above turn you from this cruise or Princess Cruise Lines in general, there were just some issues that need to be addressed. I'm sure my wife and I will do this particular cruise in the future as it's a fun little trip.

Great relaxing trip by Kjenson84

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Ruby Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

We had a blast. You should have some kind of point club. The more you spend the more points you get. The art galleries were awesome, the jewelry shop was amazing.

Rudest Crew With The Poorest Service by TruckNGrunt

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Ruby Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

This cruise I will remember as, “The Cruise From Hell.” I will never, ever consider Princess Cruises for future cruises. I am getting ready to book an Alaskan cruise.
