Pacific Coastal Cruise by ccunico

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Jewel

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 Cruise needs work to make it better by ESN

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Jewel

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!

Beautiful Ship by startnewtoday

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Discovery Princess

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.

It was fun by vivian19592002

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Celebrity Solstice

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

Okay by darrilynnkam

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

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.

Princess continues to impress us! by lorinielsen

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

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

First cruise as an adult by jenhathaway14

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Royal Princess

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.

Great Trip but Beware the Charges and Book Early by bkatz

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

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.

Amazing, once in a lifetime experience by 1xcruising

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

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.

Worst Cruise We Have Ever Took by ocgannon

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

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.

Honest Review by vette3

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

Have always loved cuising with Princess but there is room for improvement. Discovery is bigger but not better. Get the feeling that more rooms were added for more $$ Medallion System needs to have kinks worked out. Doesn't work in real time. Unable to locate shipmates in real time. Difficult to track purchases from day to day. Not always uploaded in a timely manner.

Nice cruise, but too short by bschottmi

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

We always wanted to do this California Coastal, but wish it was a little longer and visited Catalina or Seattle. The ports were nice and interesting.

It was nice to get away. There was allot of activity for families with little kids over Easter weekend. Would not go back on that old tired ship.

We walked A LOT! by tacomarain

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

My overview of the cruise is that it was adequate for what it was. It was relaxing much of the time but we walked a long way on the ship from one end to the other many times with our canes (My walker wasn't a viable choice as there was not enough room to negotiate the hallways because of the ever present room service carts). Actually had nothing to do with "Wine Country" that I could see. Won't do the cruise again.

Enjoyable spring getaway by freediana358912

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Sapphire Princess

We been to close to 30 cruises but never been on a Princess ship. I highly recommend this ship because of the outstanding friendly and attentive staff who works as a team!!Princess calls them “ teammates” rather than “ crew members “ and one can feel the positive vibe on this ship. I also appreciated that Princess offers a venue for Good Friday, Easter Sunday services plus daily Bible Study. Thank you Princess!

We loved Celebrity by mybarron

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

Overall best cruise experience in quite a while. We have Elite Status with another cruise line, but may make this our new first choice. Since Hubby is handicapped and in his mid 90's, we are limited in what we can do, on and off the ship. So having a friendly and relaxing experience on the ship is what we most need. This cruise did not disappoint.
