U.S. Cruise Reviews

I wanted to do this itinerary for a long time and I was not disappointed. I would consider doing the reverse from San Diego ending in Vancouver simply because British Columbia has so much to offer. But the US ports of Seattle and Monterey also have many beautiful scenic things to do. If this is on your bucket list, check it off and make your reservation (but not before I do...I want a cabin on the reverse cruise :) )

The cruise was wonderful ... the variety of shows is a bonus. The crew was wonderful. the food was pretty good in the cleanest condition I have ever seen

Ship experience was great. Cabin attendant did a great job. Jayson our waiter in the Diamond Lounge was fantastic. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Best crew we have ever sailed with.

Celebrating husband's 50th birthday was very relaxing entertainment was good and most of the food was good. Would recommend to others we have been on 17 cruises so we are pretty familiar with experience of cruising.

The cruise with Royal was great. Other than Astoria, OR, I enjoyed all of the ports visited. Check in and departure was very well organized. In years past, it was chaotic but Royal has finally got it down to a science. Will definitely cruise with them again if the itinerary fits our travel plans.

Excellent cruise. The staff was very friendly, the food was good, ports of call were interesting. Most of the entertainment was really good, but they need to work on the main production number.

It was a very nice ship, Beautiful. Many activities to choose from. I didn't feel Astoria was a good stop to take. It needs to be cleaned up a bit.

I loved many things about my Disney Wonder cruise. The fact that it is "Disney" was great. Everyone was happy from staff to guests. You would think there would be lots of children running around, but it wasn't like that at all. My group didn't have any kids with them and we didn't see them much. Only if you went to dinner or through the kids areas to get to adult activities. There were a lot of adult activities, but it would be great if they added even more! Wonderful spa experience too! Would be nice if they would provide complimentary sauna/steam room, etc. for those spending over a certain amount. The ship was very clean and they had everyone take a cleansing wipe before they went into dining and other areas around the ship. There were always staff sanitizing everything, emptying and cleaning the pools, etc. I would definitely recommend this cruise to adults without children as well as those with children. If you don't want to be among kids, you will figure out the best way to do that.

The ship was very beautiful, clean, extremely well taken care of.  The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. 

I have been on other cruises in the past, and I remember being able to eat at so many places without having to pay extra just to eat.  The only "Complimentary" places I could find this time were at the Windjammer, and the Sapphire Dining Room.  I did find soft-serve ice cream on one of the outside areas, and it was also complimentary.  Everyone was very kind, considerate and pleasant except for the attendant in the Sapphire Room when I was trying to get to my dining table at 5:30 pm on May 17, 2017.  All he had to do was look at my card and he could have seen when I should eat and at what table, but all he could do was yell at me that my time to eat was 8:00 PM and I was not allowed to be there then at 5:30 pm.  Otherwise, everything was great. 

The accommodations were excellent.  The crew went way beyond making sure everything was OK or better.  The food was excellent!!!  We are definitely going to take another Cruise.  Thank You

This short cruise was a wonderful breakaway for my family.  Two had never cruised before so each day held something exciting for them.We spent time together exploring the beauty of the ship and all the activities on board were great.  Each port help interesting things to do.  Our family are ready to go again.

Horrible service from maintenance, room service, cabin steward, and the dining room.  This was our honeymoon.  I was so disappointed.  I will never go on a Royal Caribbean cruise ever again!  The only thing we received from Royal Caribbean for our honeymoon was a luncheon with 2 mimosas.  Thanks......

I would never have taken this type of 'vacation' had it not been for a fundraiser/auction in which I was the highest bidder for a women's center my midwife daughter volunteers for in south Seattle.  Coming from a poor middle class family - I considered a Cruise only for those who were financially well off.  What I totally enjoyed is: I did not have to worry or look after anyone or Do Anything...no cooking, cleaning or taking care of anyone!  I could sleep in, eat well anytime, lay in the sun, hot-tub, swim or attend any of the various entertainment events on board.  Dinners were fabulous and our waiters were professional & so very kind!  Our room was miraculously sparkling clean when we returned, how did they know when we were out!?  I would do it again if possible and would recommend it to anyone who has not had this experience!

This is a very pleasant short get away for those of us who live in southern California.  It is easy to get to the port and only one flight to get home.

As usual, we had a wonderful experience on the Island Princess.  We ran into exceptionally rough seas, but the ship handled it well. The only consequence was that we had to skip a port along the wa, but those things happen and we enjoyed a quiet day on board with great food and entertainment. 

I always picture myself relaxing in a deck chair, reading something light, but that didn't happen this time!  Weather kept us out of Astoria, and it was too cold to enjoy the outside decks.  The rest was great.  The food was good, the dance floors were in good condition, and the bands provided plenty of dancing.  The production shows were good.  There were so many activities no one could do them all.  I learned some great stretches in the fitness center and I even soaked my feet in a hot tub for an hour.  We rode a trolley in San Francisco, visited a museum in Victoria, and came home refreshed.

this is the first time I wish we had not taken a Princess Cruise.  you cannot control the weather.  But the weather certainly does not make for a nice May cruise in that area.  Will never take it again.   I was disappointed to learn that we received no credit for this cruise toward our status because it was 6 days.  If you had advised such, we would have found a 7 day cruise instead.  Also, since when does the Caribe  deck balcony not include the foot stool!  Never encountered that before.  

Will not sail on your small ships again.  Will stick with the Caribbean Princess size ship and up.  

Actually it was on the lower end of Good

Sign in at San Padro went very smooth, room attendant was good.

Entertainment was OK except the show BouYo was very good.

Restaurants were OK, Eggs Benedict's were terrible cooked the day before!

Afternooon Tea was Poor.

The communications between the crew was poor, hard to get a definite answer to some basic questions, mostly a language problems thorough out the ship.

Weather and ride was out of your control. Very disappointed at canceling the stop at Astoria.

Basically Disappointed! I'm not anxious to book on Princess again!

Loved the time we spent with our pastor in discussions.  Staff was great.  Food was very good.  A lot of wonderful things in a short time.  We enjoyed our dance classes.
