Review summary

MY PRINCESS CROWN CRUISE WAS VERY NICE. ALL WENT SMOOTHLY AND WAS ENJOYING MOST OF MY DAYS, UNTIL ARRIVING HOME AND UNPACKING MY SUITCASES AND SEARCHING FOR ALL MY JEWELRY THAT WAS IN A SEE THROUGH POUCH. ALSO, MISSING WAS MY AUDIO DIGITAL TAPE RECORDER WHICH I USE EVERY NIGHT TO PUT ME TO SLEEP DUE TO MY TINNITUS. YOU NEED TO SECURE THE BAGGAGE AREA WHERE EVERYONES SUITCASES ARE STORED UNTIL DISEMBARKING THE SHIP. HOW MANY OTHER PASSENGERS HAVE HAD THINGS STOLEN FROM THEIR SUITCASES? Eliane Rocca. ROOM A429. 5133 Inagua Way, NAPLES, FL. 34119

Service and Staff

Our room steward was the best. Our waiters were also very good, friendly and prompt. Would have preferred more English speaking personel

5 out of 5

Yes, especially the bathrooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

IT COULD ALWAYS BE LARGER. OUR CABIN STEWARD KEPT IT LOOKING GREAT AND CLEAN.

Ship tip

BRING A LOCK FOR YOUR SUITCASES BECAUSE THE CREW WHO TAKES YOUR LUGGAGE FOR DISEMBARKING HAVE ALL NIGHT TO SEEK YOUR ENTIRE PIECES OF LUGGAGE.

ANOTHER 3 BEACH DAY. NOT A GOOD IDEA TO VISIT 3 BEACHES ON THE SAME ROAD, ONLY A MILE APART. A WASTE OF TIME. ONE BEACH IS ENOUGH!!!!

Why are you shouting? (FYI, capital letters imply shouting) I get that you are unhappy, but can’t help but feel that the loss of your jewellery could have been avoided if you had kept it in your hand luggage as most others have suggested and as also mentioned on the Princess pre-cruise information. For a seasoned traveller you seem quite naive.

Why would you pack anything of value in a suitcase that you were not carrying with you?

Never put anything of value in your case carry it on with any medication you may need and keep your cases locked

The theft could of happened at the airport. TSA doesn't like it if you put locks on your suitcases. They will remove them if the pick your bag for inspection. I never put anything of real value in suitcase, I always have my carry on to put valuables into.

Well I’m glad you enjoyed some of your cruise .Next time if you go anywhere if you have anything personal I would carry it on you in a carry-on bag. So you can have it under your watchful eye all the time. Also put locks on your luggage did you have locks on your luggage.😳

Never put anything of value in a suitcase you find control. It certainly isn’t ok that you were stolen from but it could definitely have been prevented.
