Coastal - West Coast Cruise Reviews

Well it started off with a 11-hour drive to the port stayed at a local hotel instead of paying for parking. Got on the ship at 11:30 I should say we got to the port at 11:30 dropped off the bags easy cheesy about 11:35 we're through customs probably on the boat at 11:45 and rooms were ready went to the room drop the luggage off got a bucket of beer have an absolutely fantastic time looking at the cabin open up the sliding glass door watch people board the boat 4 we have the mustard drill and then we're off sail away party and started the vacation now I have a very demanding job so I really enjoyed the sea days because the boat forces you to relax

I will never cruise Princess again. Most boring cruise in behave ever been on.

Great weekend getaway with Princess! We've done 4 day cruises before and they have always been more of a party boat so it was hard to relax, it was nice to be on a shorter cruise that didn't involve just partying and crowds of heavy drinkers. The cruise line did a great job of having activities for all age groups and keeping the entertainment ongoing and organized. In the past on other lines we've experienced that the cruise company's tend to cut back in service or activities and this was not the case with Princess. Linens were always used in the dining room, and you could always find something to see or do on the boat. All the onboard venues were open daily for use, and the menus and shows changed daily just as they would on a 7+ day cruise which was a real treat. I'd high recommend Princess and a cruise on the Ruby. The ship is clean and well maintained, and the staff on Princess cruises always do a fantastic job of taking care of the guest onboard.

Again, these short ones are the best to get back to cruising when you either don't have a full week off or if you simply want a simple cruise to get away. These cruises without ports focus your activities to only enjoying the cruise. I highly recommend for people who don't have kids or aren't looking to do their first cruise.

The cruise was relaxing and enjoyable. I can see why the cruise line receives awards for the food on their ships. The food on Emerald Princess was much better than on the Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas. The shopping on the Baja peninsula leaves much to be desired. I enjoyed visiting Cabo, but do not expect to return.

As my first cruise that I can remember, this was a wonderful experience with outstanding activities being offered on the ship as well as lovely staff and cruise personnel.

Every aspect of this cruise was pure enjoyment. Excellent, friendly and efficient customer service was provided by the entire Princess staff. Our cabin Stewart provided us with everything we needed throughout the week.

This was cruise #14 and our 7th with Princess. We've been on Ruby the most. It was very relaxing, just wish the weather cooperated. Although we have been to all of the ports before, SF and Monterey never get old.

This was our seventh cruise with Princess and our first time using a Club Class mini-suite. An absolutely fantastic experience in every way. If you are going to do any shopping in the specialty shops, wait until the last minute; the prices drop each day. We did not buy a photo package; just not worth the price. We enjoyed it so much that our next cruise (4 day California Coast w/Santa Barbara) will also be on the Ruby.

It was an old folks cruise. I am older and this cruise made me feel old. I used self motivation to go do things. The ship really went to sleep by 11pm. Need that DJ thing going on. No big night club party for people who wanted to dance until 2am.

Overall excellent first time ever cruise experience. I will definitely be cruising again with Princess Cruise line. Thank you to all the staff of Princess Cruises for making this a wonderfully pleasant experience.

Overall a great cruise! A little disappointed the weather didn't hold together for the port of Astoria, but the captain and crew were very professional and handled the extra sea day splendidly. Every crew member we encountered onboard was pleasant and professional, and we had a great cabin steward! The food in the dining room was delicious, and we would HIGHLY recommend both Crown Grill and Sabatini's if you like the specialty dining experience. Our cabin and all passenger areas were clean and organized. Loved having a balcony even on days when it was wet and rainy.

We’ve already booked our next cruise with Princess!!! We’re going North this time, can’t wait! My husband is looking for more MicroBreweries we can try...

Overall the cruise was great, the ship, Mexico and san francisco were the highlights. Did a lot on the ship. The entertaiment was excellant, The illuniosist and the comedian were excellant.

I have nothing to really say in the positive about the ship, service, food, cleanliness....nothing good about Ensanada...I can't convince myself to sugar coat it either.

I thought this cruise was wonderful. We had excellent weather except for one day--our last full day at sea the wind was blowing and the waves were large. This is only my second cruise so I'm just getting the hang of it. Can't wait to go again!

The cruise itself was fantastic. The excursions need some better descriptions of time constraints and need to be longer, especially when you have the entire day in LA bit were only permittted two hours at the Getty

Great experience and would rate the overall experience as a 5 star. We will definitely cruise Princess again! Our next trip will probably be the east coast or an Alaska cruise.

We booked with friends and we were midship 14th deck & they were as far aft as you could get on the 8th deck. Would have been nice to be closer to them. However much preferred our location to theirs. Nice to be able to use the onboard message app but would be even better to have some kind of alert when you got a message.

Overall the vacation was okay I doubt that we will ever do a cruise again the Windjammer have their food was pretty good but some of it was over cook some of it was undercooked but that's the way it is with a buffet. Ice cream machine was broke 50% of the time we were there but when it was working it have very good ice cream and once again if we had known that they had electric wheelchair it would have been a lot easier for us to get around
