U.S. Cruise Reviews

Seeing is believing. It's not often that we are able to experience the fabulous sights and actual places that all this history had taken place.

Incredible Thanksgiving cruise. We've never spent Thanksgiving on a cruise ship but after the experience we had with American Cruise Lines I think we will always plan our future Thanksgivings aboard ACL. I hope you can read the menu, it was unbelievable the amount of dishes they had. Of course every dinner was great but what a fabulous day with 6 turkeys, hams, prime rib and every salad, side dish and desert you could imagine. Thanksgiving aside, this was a beautiful cruise with lots of opportunities to see Florida's unique wildlife. Be sure to take the Blue Springs State Park Manatee Excursion, wonderful. Loved all the cute little towns and cruising Florida's inter-coastal waterways. All the crew and even the Captain were very friendly and attentive to every guests request. American certainly does live up to its motto, "Small Cruising Done Perfectly". We hope to be back on the water with ACL next Thanksgiving.

Wonderful river cruise. The rooms were spacious, the food was excellent and the shoreline excursions were educational and quite fun. The onboard entertainment was thoroughly enjoyable as well.

It would be unfair to rate the ports as a) I live in San Diego and b) it was raining in Santa Barbara (although I tried...)

Celebrity Beyond offered one of my favorite cruise experiences to date! The ship itself is beautiful, with some small changes from Edge and Apex that enhanced the experience (expanded Sunset bar, new infinity pools, pool cabanas modified for better layout and flow). Celebrity always offers impeccable service and dining and Beyond is no exception there. Looking forward to experiencing a longer cruise on this ship in the future!

Because of where we live a Coastal Cruise or an Alaska Cruise is always a good choice. And, as I said in my title, despite the weather this one was one of the best.

Great cruise using the medallion was a little rocky at first but after the first day and a trip to the ocean ready desk it work great

The cruise was nice, enjoyable and relaxing. Weather was great. Nice little short getaway.

they need more staff for food areas. We have a cruise booked on same ship for October 1, 2022 but we will be canceling if they do not improve their staffing of buffet and specialty dining

Well in my opinion j.p. the president of Princess who's turning this brand into a below Carnival standard. This was my 17th Cruise and it is the cruise that made me think I should switch from princess

This was a last minute booking (7 days prior to sailing.) The offer was too good to pass up. Rumor had it we sailed with 2,700 passengers, but it sure seemed like less. But it that’s true, it was the most post-COVID. Staff and crew are all nearing the end of contract in another 6 weeks or so. Will be interesting to see how Princess manages the first mass crew changes since COVID.

This trip had only 490 passengers and a crew of almost 900 from 44 countries. That’s only about 20% capacity. Reposition cruise to start the Alaska 2022.

Solo trip for this teacher getting out of town during Spring Break / on Easter Sunday! I loved this one-way sailing from Los Angeles to Vancouver and will book it again in the next year or two. 5 nights was a great length, too -- short enough that it didn't take up all of Spring Break but longer and more relaxing than a weekend booze cruise!

I hope it's just post-pandemic adjustments, but it seems Princess has cut back on its staff-to-customer ratio and quality of service seems to be suffering. We'll be back aboard in June with hopes things will be closer to what we were used to enjoying pre-pandemic. And the Medallion/ Medallion app was a real headache for us. It unlocked our cabin door just fine (And triggered the "portal" screens to remind me it was "my" anniversary several times - with no mention of my wife), but wouldn't let us re-arrange dining schedules to join with travel companions, wouldn't allow scheduling of a departure group, only showed My account folio charges & credits (which is problematic when my wife doesn't use a smart phone) and was just plain Non-functional on several occasions. Dining room servers had to take our wine order with pencil and paper - so did servers in the Explorers lounge. Kudos to the Supersonics! They are a great band that played Explorers & Fusion lounges with occasional appearances in the Piazza too. They kept us up dancing until well past our bedtime several nights, and we look forward to seeing them again when we cruise Alaska in June. (Their contract aboard the Ruby runs to July 9, they say)

Lots of fun, did all the activities, didn't last long enough, ready to cruise again

The medallion app is wonderful for Ordering drinks and food

Except for the embarkation, the cruise was very well run. The trip itself was cold, so we weren’t able to enjoy the outside. Ensenada was warm so we were able to enjoy the excursion.

This was my 4th Princess cruise. It was the best overall Princess voyage I’ve taken. From the food quality, crew members, entertainment. Duvail the CD was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Very engaging. Believe he was a comedian in his former career. He’s a valuable asset to the Princess brand. I’ve always wanted to do the Classic California cruise. Wanted to visit both Alcatraz and Muir Woods. Unfortunately couldn’t do both through Princess. Guess it was a logistic problem. Hopefully I’ll be able to go to Muir Woods next time.

This our first time with Holland America and it wouldn't be our last. Felt like we were on an ocean liner.

It was a great cruise all the parts for a really nice California cost us a lot better than the Mexican wine you don’t get a bunch of Mexicans trying to sell your stuff
