U.S. Cruise Reviews

Please respect the elderly and handicapped people , don't let them wait on long line.

The staff was so friendly! I thought the boat a little worn even though it had just been renovated. I prefer Celebrity X Cruise lines.

The staff at the kids programs (Lodge and Beach Club) were incredible. Other then that, not really a special or impressive cruise experience. Mediocre.

All in all, the cruise was good especially given the cost. I had a relaxing 5 days and enjoyed the sail.

Enjoyed every minute of the cruise, the staff we saw everyday we the same and the entertainment was flawless..Can't wait for our next cruise in February 2023

The lotus spa experience was amazing. The worker named THEM was so helpful and super friendly. Patricia in dining works so hard and she deserves a raise. Ravi needs to work on his services. We left the room at 7am and returned at 5pm and the room still was not clean. We had to rush out so he can freshen our room. We had the service light on the entire day. We were shocked when we came back to find it still not cleaned. Ketchikan dining is really confusing to locate.

great cruise, ship was beautiful crew was outstanding. We have never seen a cruise director less then we seen Nick on this cruise. It seemed that he was not ready for the job, unable to put out the little fires that came up

Service Great! Accommodations….. nice…. Food….. not so great. Based on my answers, it says 4.1 stars, I’d say it’s a little lower than that actually. The friendliness and nice attention from the staff overall was what made it worth it.

Good food, good accommodations, good staff, entertaining, very restful

We had boarding in San Diego. I did all the pre boarding requirements on the HAL website and on VeriFLY. Our boarding pass said that a REAL ID-compliant driver's license was ok BUT the dock personnel did not seem to know that, we got shuffled over to another area and were finally told it was ok and we were allowed onboard. The Koningsdam is a nice ship and seemed to be very clean. We got to our cabin and our ship cards were in an envelope by the door. We had a Balcony cabin and it was nice just like the other HAL ships we were on. We met our cabin attendants Alex and Mas and they were outstanding the entire cruise. Our first night we had reservations at the Pinnacle Grill. The Clothesline Candied Bacon was yummy! The steaks were just OK, but the service was very good. The main dining room was not crowded but we asked for a sharing table and they never put anyone else with us. The next night we asked for a sharing table and to be by the window. They put us four tables away from the window but we did get 3 people to join us. Food was ok and service was adequate. The rest of the cruise we just ate at the Ledo Market which had a better variety of choices and good service. We also tried the New York Deli & Pizza and the Dive-in for lunch which we both liked. We LOVED the Lincoln Center Stage musicians, they were excellent and we kept coming back for more! The World Stage Step One Dance Company was also very good. We did a few ship excursions and had a big problem with the "Hop on off harbor tour". We started 12:30 pm and they gave us a time of 5 pm for the harbor tour. The problem was that the Hop On bus had a end time of 6 pm and we were left stranded after our 1 hour harbor tour! We talked to a number of the Big Bus personnel and the best they could tell us was we had to walk back to the ship or take a tram. We ended up waking back which took 25 minutes. The next day we take with Jazz on the ship excursion team and she was very helpful and understanding. Ensenada - just walked around the port compound, no stores were opened. San Francisco - Muir Woods & Sausalito, highly recommended. Hop on off & harbor tour, Do not pay for the bundled harbor tour. The harbor tour itself was good but we had problems. Avalon, Catalina Island - We walked around the town a bit NO ship tours were offered! Santa Barbara - Did Santa Barbara By Trolley, it was pretty good. We were very disappointed in the reverse itinerary that the ship took. We wanted more time in Catalina (Avalon) and a lot LESS in Ensenada! Whoever made that change should have a new position.

We share the ship with less than 250 passengers. It was like having our own private cruise ship. The Princess Cruise team is amazing. We were thrilled with the cruise.

Over all good cruise. Ship is in great shape and fun to be on

The Grand Princess 5 Day cruise to Cabo was a great 1st post-Covid cruise. The Staff was extremely attentive. The Pools & Spas were crowd free and the Port in Cabo san Lucas was a nice stop in the middle of it.

First time doing this California Coastal Cruise and we will repeat as often as possible; maybe next time Santa Barbara will be open. So happy to be back cruising after two years of Covid isolation!

We are hooked and want to cruise with Princess again

had about half capacity which makes for a better cruising experience

This was our favorite cruise. Every employee was so helpful, and always had a smile on their face. It truly was a great experience and we will do it again.

A fun trip and our first cruise get-a-way since covid-19. Well worth taking this cruise, cruise line and ship. This is our 51 cruise and will probably will take Celebrity Cruises again.

The cabins are beautiful but the interior cabin is much smaller than they used to be. Two people and my walker did not fit. Very disappointed. We moved to a balcony and we’re fine.

My husband uses an electric chair and I use a walker. The situation with the elevators was very frustrating. On new cruise ships it would be nice to have a ramp in the Atrium area where you need to go from one floor to another so often.
