Grand Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Had been on the Grand right before it went into dry dock Apr 2011. Didn't see any changes to the cabins. They show their age.

The ship was a bit dated, but we knew that coming into the cruise. Accordingly, we weren't disappointed. We understand the ship was updated in recent years, so there was nothing too severe, but overall, the ship felt its age. The furnishings in the room were clean, but showed their age.

This is a large ship so it is a bit difficult to find your away around quickly. The crew was fantastic! The cabin stewards and restaurant waiters were first rate! The quality of the musicians on board was such a bonus. The food was delicious.

First cruise with Princess . . we'll definitely be back! The Grand Princess was the perfect size ship. Embarkation was easy. Our stateroom was always kept up. Food was good - dining room food options weren't to my taste, but I'm certain others enjoyed them. Deck space was plentiful. Ports of call were fantastic. Princess Cays is absolutely gorgeous, Curacao was neat to see and Aruba was fun!

Like the places we visited the private insland was o.k. if you like swiming etc

Off all the cruises we have taken, this stateroom was laid out the best and was larger than any we have had on previous cruises. We have never experienced a cruise which offered movies under the stars ... and they even offered free milk and cookies. How cool is that?! The opportunities for dancing and for playing trivia were many. The Cheap Tickets tour in Aruba was great.

We enjoyed the grand princess v ery much. The renovation that was just finished added beauty to the ship. The service was excellent and the ports were great. The cabins are just a little tired but acceptable. Lots to do and just relax which is just what we needed.

Billy London and Dave excelled in planning the best for everyone. The usual evening entertainment was only discolored by movie Descendents and some gay jokes by others. Children were present and we as adults do not enjoy that. The excursions in the various stops were excellent. The food was tremendous as usual. Every place on the deck and in our rooms was kept super clean. The Staff was all friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Cabin was very good in size, kept very clean by stewart. Crew was knowledgable and willing to be of utmost help. Too many passengers for offerings in "theatres" and sunning decks.

The Grand Princess needs some TLC. Our friends in stateroom C637 could not go out on their balcony for a day and had to store their deck furniture in their stateoom because their deck had some soltion put down on the morning we boarded the ship.

very disappointed in the entire cruise.

The staff was so friendly and helpful but not annoyingly so. Would like more non-smoking time in the casinos and have it enforced better on the night it was for non-smoking! Our grandson has a severe peanut allergy and they were all very attentive to it! All the food was wonderful! The cabins could use refurbishing now but did not interfere with our fabulous trip. Everything very clean! I have been on many cruise line private islands but none compare to Princess Cays! I would like to see Princess go out of Port Canaveral as I live 5 minutes from there! Been on many cruise lines, I would take Princess every time!

We had a very nice and relaxing trip the cabin and public areas were very nice and clean, however the balcony areas need a good freshening up, Dinning and entertainment was excelient looking forward to our next princess cruise

the entertainment was very average. nothing special. However the food was great.

nice ship, nothing spectacular about decor, strange layout

A beautiful ship

The cruise was great. The point I want to make is how risky it is to book shore excursions through . We did 3 excursions. 2 through Princess 1 through . The Princess ones were wonderful. No problems, no stress, very organized. The one ruined our day and almost the entire cruise. From the beginning we were worried that the excursion wouldn't get us back to the boat in time for "All Aboard". The trip was 1-4 and "All Aboard" time was 4:30. We called several times to confirm that we would be OK and were constantly assured that we would be back with plenty of time. Well we weren't. We got back to the port at 4:50. We ran as fast as we could as the harbor master and hundreds of people on the ship were waving us on. One of the captains met us as we got on board and reprimanded us for being late. We were minutes from being left behind (which happen to a couple that was on the excursion with us but cruising on the boat docked next to us). It was very embarrassing. We will NEVER book another excursion through again.

will not sail on this ship again. twice, we had to eat at the buffay, so we would make the shows on time. food was not good. help was just ok. The dining room help did not understand english very well ( had to repeat things 2 or 3 times. Jacuizzi"s were not working properly, overall we were not happy

The entertainment level (Lido Deck) was a little small so that there were not many parties or well-attended activities there. Otherwise, ship was very comfortable, lots of amenities, and excellent service from the staff.

Beautiful ship, tasteful decor, comfortable staterooms.
