Iberian peninsula with Fred. O by Wombatwills

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Balmoral / Destination: Iberian Peninsula

We did not know what to expect having sailed on 6* and 5* ships. We were totally bowled over by the ship and it’s crew, difficult to fault anything other than unable to reconfigure twin to a double and the cabin needed a lick of paint. Would definitely sail with them again especially from Port of Tyne. Ports were very good with enough time in each of them to get a good feel for them. Crew were amazing made us feel valued and welcome.

Ship: Rotterdam Retired / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

It was a great cruise. Loved the scenery. Saw whales, dolphins, sealions and the Northern light. The prins Christian Sund is the absolute highlight.

Great Scottish Cruise by wallybooth3

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Pacific Princess / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

Small ship with 750 passengers liked the ambiance but the entertainment venue was rather limited but liked everything else about being on a small ship.

Beautiful UK and France by ddemase

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Crown Princess / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

This is a great way to see a large volume of the British Isles and N.France is a "short" amount of time. As a cruise, the ship was adequate and the entertainment ok. The destinations were really the centerpiece of the trip and not the vessel. I'm a bit jaded for cruise ships as I've traveled on Royal Caribbean Oasis Class ships a couple of times where the vessel is at least half of the attraction of sailing with the entertainment, amenities, and variety of enclaves taking center stage.

Europe was Great! But, the ship, Oceania Riviera was not, this time. by crzydiva

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

Europe was my greatest experience But Oceania Riviera dropped the ball on their Culinary this time. I was very shocked since my last experience on this ship was on January 2019 and the food was amazing. Sorry, but I have to be honest.

Disappointing Princess Cruise by Maddyandmom

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Crown Princess / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

I planned this trip for about a year. The cruise was chosen for its itinerary. I read so many bad reviews and hoped our experience would be better. We will never do another Princess Cruise. The food was so bad that words can’t describe many of the things we attempted to eat.

Excellent experience. Staff could not have been more attentive or friendly. Food options were great, especially the specialty restaurants. Wonderful entertainment and very informative speakers. We booked another cruise for next summer.

Perfectly wonderful by EvilAnnie

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Viking Jupiter / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

Having never been on a cruise before I was overwhelmed by how much was available on board the ship. Next Viking cruise (and there will be a next time) I will take advantage of their spa -it seemed amazing! Great ship even if traveling alone-never felt lonely!

Worn out dated ship with tasteless food. by ochcdic4u

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Crown Princess / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

The ship had rust stains over the balconies, the food in every restaurant was mediocre and tasteless, the carpet in our room and parts of the ship was dirty and worn. I ordered s drink in the casino charged but not delivered, I had to go to the bar and explain only to be given a look of distrust but at least they gave it to me. Unable to go to the port of Paris which is what we wanted the most because of a Paris Green Day ? Not their fault, but why advertise Paris if you can’t go? Tell me that when I am booking my cruise. Not after. we signed up for some of the contests on the ship, but when they asked for your room number when entering they can see you are not a past cruiser with them so they never picked you. Everyone we spoke with who was picked were past cruisers with Princess. LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT... THEY FORGOT TO GIVE US BACK OUR PASSPORTS! Can you imagine if we were going to the airport and arrived with no passports! WE WERE GOING TO LONDON SO 6 HOURS ROUND TRIP TO GO BACK TO THE SHIP AND GET OUR PASSPORTS ONLY TO BE TOLD “ SORRY ABOUT THAT I GUESSED WE REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE” HERE LET US PAY YOUR CAB FARE. FIRST AND LAST CRUISE WITH THIS COMPANY.

This is our first cruise with Princess. We enjoyed our trip around UK visiting cities, villages, castles, museums, lakes and Irish bars including the Guinness Brewery. Giants Causeway was a great to visit too.

Nice trip - except for one huge thing! by Louie8707

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Reflection / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

I will never get over how pissed off I am about what they did to what should have been the crown jewel of public spaces on the ship. Never again on Celebrity for me. There are too many other quality cruise lines to choose from.

NEVER again, the SS Minnow, run by Gilligan and the skipper by drref

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Crown Princess / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

Let me start with an embarkation where without prior notification they confiscate your passport, ostensibly to speed up international travel. BALONEY. I have been on multiple European cruises and this is the first time it was ever done. Additionally with identity theft on the rise, I DO NOT want anyone with my passport. And of course they tell you to have some other sort of government ID on you. MEMO TO IDIOTS. When you travel overseas you do not necessarily bring other ID with you. On of course after I had my heart set on the Normandy Beaches, and BOOKED a Princess Tour [they bought out all of the available seats on any Normandy Tours so they were the only game in town]I find out that I cannot go because I am disembarking at LeHavre and am no longer their guest. [I was their guest when they took my money]And of course they let the TOURING passengers off of the boat immediately and let the disembarking passengers wait until 830 to leave. Absolutely obnoxious and disrespectfull. Regarding food: I have NEVER spent a week with tasteless food that belongs in a college dorm cafeteria like this. It is pathetic. Does the chef have any clue how to spice food. Tasteless was a kind word: The only decent coffee I had was in the specialty coffee shot [had to pay] the only decent cake was in the specialty restaurant and the I cannot say that I enjoyed a SINGLE meal on the ship and I AM certainly NOT a foody. In short, the the expense USE ANOTHER CRUISE LINE. I have sailed, Holland, Royal Carib, even Carnival and each of those were better than this dump. And my favorite is leaving ports late because of Low tide. Memo to idiots. Any of us who took third grade science know that Tidal Charts are predictable months in advance. I guess the SS Minow and its captain and master Captain and Gilligan skipped that class in boat school.
