Coastal - West Coast Cruise Reviews

If you have the flexibility, look for "drop and go" fares which become available close to sail date.

Enjoyable, like to see more free on-board credit provided by princess cruise.

Double check the ships billing. I ordered the PLUS beverage package through Princess Cruises for 2 rooms, 4 guests total and got way over charged and only got 2 packages, 1 person in each room (which they dont even do). It took a total of 6 hours to resolve. Twice at 3 hrs each at customer service. Plus at checkout it was still incorrect. Very frustrating. That was a big bummer, very stressful for a 3 day cruise.

It was a bit chilly , but we managed sunshine for the most part during the port excursions.

The cruise is designed for mass marketing and you get what you pay for. The ship seems very big, with a confusing layout, and very little cultural or informational talks are offered-not even port talks the night before.

I booked this cruise at the last minute, and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality and aesthetics of the ship, the friendliness and helpfulness of the crew, and the amount of activities offered. I took part in a lot of the activities and found them to be entertaining, informative and fun. This was a repositioning cruise so itinerary was only one way, however I would take this cruise again if available in the future.

Fantastic short cruise - that almost felt like a longer voyage. The passenger load were typical Princess folks and the overall experience was not different from any other Princess trip. Lucky enough to participate in the Chef's Table one night, see whales and other marine life on sea days, and enjoy the Sanctuary complete with steamer blankets. Would take this trip again!

For a first time cruiser I was nervous at first. but from the booking process until I disembarked I loved every moment of the time I spent. I am definitely hooked.

I had a great experience on this cruise, staff was friendly, ship was clean and shows were excellent

really enjoyed the cruise. was 1st in a long time so many feastures were unknown. more, better & clearer specific information would have made the cruise more relaxing. I'm still awaiting for the United miles to be applied/

Disappointed in this cruise. Just not enough to do that didn't cost extra. Very hard to figure out was what included and what was not included when booking.

This is the 2nd NCL ship we had awful food on of 4 cruises. We still like cruising but I think they should let u know what style of cooking the chef will mostly be making before u book so u can decide if u want a diff ship as I hate curry and also count eat most meats as they were so dry and I have choking issues and the same gravy for every meat every day not acceptable. Some ports were disappointing and the lack of excursion options and avavilability not acceptable for what u pay to go on a cruise. We have never tried another cruise line but are now considering just that!

Lots of food and fun. I love the piazza area. There is a lot to see on this ship so a longer cruise would be great.

The cruise was fine enjoyed myself until I got hurt in one of the restaurant you would think this ship would have accommodated me but they did nothing but other than called to see if I was okay. And I'm still having problems with my arm

The cruise was okay. The ship didn't have a lot of activities that I was interested in. The food was okay, but there were a lot of additional charges for food, activities, and services. The ship looked dated.

Again, we took this cruise to get away and relax. We are at a point in life that we prefer (and are able to, being retired) take longer cruises. This one was our first since the pandemic and was especially attractive being Roundtrip SF (close to home) and afforded us the opportunity to visit family and friends in two of the four ports. We are sailing with Princess again on 5/27 (with another couple) to Alaska

The only issues we had were with dinner reservations in the main dining hall. But we were able to get in without one. The wifi was mediocre at best. And room service was not reliable at all. We received 7/12 orders. . With that in mind we also had a full ship of guests 3,500 people. So i could imagine the staff was a bit overwhelmed. Nothing turned our trip sour. It was great overall.

I chose this trip specifically for the days at sea to do a little work and a lot of relaxing. The plan would have worked better if I'd known that their Wi-Fi does NOT cover calling or texting, which I needed to log into my computer! Beyond that, nice trip. The shows were the high point.

It was our first cruise ever. It was an amazing trip. There are so many things to do and the ship is absolutely beautiful! The food is great (which I didn’t expect) and the drinks from the bar are top notch. All employees are helpful and attentive as well. We really enjoyed this vacation and will be coming back. We were impressed.

We have taken probably over 20 cruises.  This was the worst experience we had.  We could not wait to get off the ship; and that has never happened before.  We even skipped the free dinner on the ship before leaving because we wanted to eat real food off the ship.  We will not be taken NCL in the future.
