Grand Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was just a wonderful experience. everything was great and Alaska is spectacular. The weather was perfect, in the 70's most days with little to no rain.

The Grand Princess just simply missed the mark on so many levels. The Lotus spa’s up-sell tactics are shameful. I wasn’t there to assist my wife in telling the spa, “no she doesn’t want your special $100 facial experience.” Their used car salesmen approach is just wrong. We had some many issues with this cruise that we have decided not to sail on Princess again. Hawaii drew us in, but do not be fooled… so many passengers complained about the industrial ports, food, service, etc…

Very nice trip. Would recommend it to all my friends

The Princess Cruise to Hawaii exceeded our expectations in several ways: crew was helpful, professional, and made you feel part of their family. Hard to accomplish this on a large ship. The safety protocols and COVID testing was done as professionally as possible when dealing with over a 1,000 passengers. Excursions were outstanding and the sailing even when the seas were a little rough, were always smooth. Will do this cruise again.

We spent 5 days without a care... a very welcomed experience. Overall, we enjoyed our cruise very much, but we were surprised by some gaps. The meal presentation was lovely, but we were surprised and disappointed with the quality of the food. There was tremendous talent on the ship although, again surprisingly, there were a couple of performers (cruise band) that were not very good.

The coffee is too watered down. Most of the time coffee n cones only had cones.

We share the ship with less than 250 passengers. It was like having our own private cruise ship. The Princess Cruise team is amazing. We were thrilled with the cruise.

The Grand Princess 5 Day cruise to Cabo was a great 1st post-Covid cruise. The Staff was extremely attentive. The Pools & Spas were crowd free and the Port in Cabo san Lucas was a nice stop in the middle of it.

Loved every minute of our first return to cruising. We were completely at ease with protocols and the care being taken.

We are hooked and want to cruise with Princess again

We had a quick cruise but it felt as relaxing as a 7 day cruise! We would do this cruise again for sure! Loved that it was an 80s themed cruise too!

I enjoyed this cruise immensely. My only complaint is the alcoholic beverages are too watered down. I asked the bartenders not to fill my glass with ice and several of them did it anyways. And then they pour a meager amount of alcohol as if they are paying for it.

Boarding was super simple and we checked into our muster station on our way to our room and watched the drill on the TV in our room. The food and service has been excellent. I like the buffet setup. There were sections where we were served by the crew and sections of takeaway items. No boutique sale because they did want large gatherings. Cabin steward service was once per day and no chocolate on the pillows (I didn’t miss that). “Sip and Cover” signs in Explorers lounge but not in Crooners. Masks required inside the ship but not outside.

Incredible experience on the Grand Princess. Everything was clean and all the staff was extremely attentive to any needs and requests.

Ship getting tired but service and quality of the food more than compensates for it

Excellent cruise and very well managed, kind and courteous staff, great selection of activities, and beautiful vistas.

My husband uses an electric chair and I use a walker. The situation with the elevators was very frustrating. On new cruise ships it would be nice to have a ramp in the Atrium area where you need to go from one floor to another so often.

Princess highly values its "elite" members. If you are not "elite" (151+ days of cruising on Princess), you are treated fine, but not like the "elite" people. This was even more overt on the Star Princess. I definitely enjoyed this Grand Princess cruise better than the last Princess cruise on the Star. The staff was friendly. The bar staff was wonderful. Food could be tastier, but wasn't bad. We all enjoyed the stromboli. The ship rocked quite a bit a few days, but that does not bother us. The weather was chilly many of the days. People wore coats every day except a couple that we were actually in Hawaii. Teen club was too full of drama for my kids who tended to say away. More free activities where you do/make things would have been welcome. Ukulele and hula were fun sea day activities. However, when I took hula on the last cruse with a different teacher, she instructed in different moves. Having to relearn new moves for the same songs was annoying.

We got a good price and upgrade within the same class of staterooms when we booked through . Our first cruise turns out to exceed our expectations. Other agents may have offered rebates or on board benefits , but if we come across similar discounts with upgrades for our future trips, it may be worth sticking with .

Inside ship temperature was kept at a 63 degree. It was very cold to the point that we had to keep our winter jackets on. The inside pool was heated but my child was uncomfortable using it due to the cold air. Will not cruise on Princess again.
