Review summary

Our cruise details: 3215N / 7 Days Alaska - Inside Passage W/Gb, Crown Princess Embarkation: May 28, 2022 / Seattle Disembarkation: June 4, 2022 / SeattleStateroom / Cat: A410 / BA (11th floor), Two ports cancelled one Ketchikan they then scheduled Icy Strait Point as replacement then canceled it, engine problems going half speed whole trip, 4 excursions cancelled by Princess due to delayed port entry, or not at all, substituted whale watching tour Juneau for 3 1/2 hours (less than the 5 hour one we'd scheduled) snack was ONLY 1 Ritz cracker with salmon and jelly on it plus either vanilla or chocolate donut HOLE. For an excursion during dinner hour that is a mighty meager snack. Feel free to give Princess a ration of crap about this incident and the ship had two previous cruises with that engine problem and was scheduled for two more with same problem. Lobster night-3 of 4 people who had lobster-it was rubbery and inedible. Food was either good or not good 50% hit or miss on a ship with 1080 crew and 2/3 occupancy of around 2000 people. We have cruise Carnival for 3 cruises before this and covid and will NEVER cruise with Princess again. They gave us NOTHING except $100 OBC for each of us. we heard others had free drink packages and free steak restaurant, but we got NOTHING.NOW WE HAVE TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID, Princess had rumors of Covid on Ship, saw the Fleet Captain for MQA in elevator going up to 12 where area was blocked off, plus some of 4 was blocked off we heard, NO THANKS TO PRINCESS for infecting us

1 out of 5
NOT MAINTAINED, SAILING with engine problems for ALL of this season and had two more sailings to Alaska scheduled after we got off

Most ships have Covid, I suspect too many fake certificates/records. Surprised you had so many issues on the Crown, it was a good ship. Glad the Regal had much better everything you said was bad on your trip during or 16 days in December.
