Is it really worth it? Princess Cruises Cruise Critic Community

I never buy anything from the gift shops. With that said, there is no way for you to avoid adding some expense to this trip. As for the cost to get to the ship, that shouldn't be a surprise to you.

These Are The Cutbacks and Changes Cruisers Can't Stop Complaining About - Cruise Critic

These Are The Cutbacks and Changes Cruisers Can't Stop Complaining About.

Not only are these threads hugely informative (and tremendous fun for the armchair cruiser), they’re one of the things that Cruise Critic’s members do best. Find a vacation where you have more control of what you spend on everything. Where you can skip the things you don’t care about and only pay for what you want. Good people work for every one of the cruise lines. From the top execs down to the hard working stewards. Don’t bring your attitude on board and spoil it for others.

Princess Cruise Reviews

It is possible to cruise base fare only and still have  good time and not give Princess a penny more.. So, hop aboard and come discover what cruising is all about, from the folks who know it best. Lowest pricing is based on our 3rd party pricing supplier and valid as of April 23rd, 2024. Furthermore, Cruise Critic makes no guarantees for availability of prices advertised on our site. Listed prices may have blackout dates, qualifications or restrictions.

A place for experienced and would-be cruisers alike to mingle, share information and ask questions, our Message Boards have roughly 2 million members – a number that continues to grow to this day. You could try to invoke package regulation as a major change but unlikely for 1 port to sea day on a 14n cruise unless that port was a major selling point for the ruise.. Many, many people go in cruises every year and don’t buy anything more than the basic travel and they have a wonderful time. They aren’t worried about what other people on the ship get that they don’t get.

Is everything free on Princess cruises?

At any time, they can change their mind and I will open it again. Whenever you start a thread, you have the right to have it closed. One of Cruise Critic’s defining features since its inception in the late 1990’s has been its Message Boards.

( we can stick to tea in cabin & buffet & dinner with the odd extra drink) you can take some beverages on with your depending on port this won't get checked. Princess have moved the goal posts recently because not enough people were buying Plus or Premier by adding charges for things previously included. It would be nice if you added location to your profile, but I had not read very many words at all before realizing you are from UK. It is unfortunate the travel rules there - or one PCL takes advantage of or has a contrary policy - mean your deposits are non-refundable.

I think you must have been lured by a low base price and as a result, your expectations were set too high. Once upon a time, cruising was an “ all included” vacation, or almost so. Advertised prices are base, lowest cost inside cabins per person. It doesn’t seem like much until you multiply by the number of passengers and add drinks, specialty dining, excursions and more. There is still a lot included in the price and many cruisers don’t spend much more than that, if at all. It’s up to you whether you want to buy alcoholic beverages or take excursions.

I just need someone to change my mind before I hit the cancel button....be gentle. You yourself has said this experience has tainted the entire cruise for you. It won't get better, sounds like you will just dwell on it and especially if anything else goes wrong between now and then.

I don’t like going through 100 other threads for information. Consider sharing your journey with your fellow Cruise Critic members as-it-happens by posting a live thread detailing your cruise. In addition to asking questions, you can also use Cruise Critic’s unique Roll Call feature to connect with folks onboard the same sailing as you – all before you’ve ever set foot aboard your ship. In the US Princess has fully refundable deposits most of the time.

From inside cabins all the way to suites, there is a difference of experience. The same goes for packages like Plus and Premier or being a first time passenger with no status versus the seasoned Elite member. Yes, pay up front for Plus which tbh we wouldn't feel we would get the value for money others may get from this but feel that we should pay for it for the more inclusive experience. Not sure why the other thread was locked but starting a new one for general discussion about this brand new ship. Live threads are great but are only one person’s perspective and not a place to be having lots of questions and discussions that detract from their experience.

Received notification today that offer was accepted! Love the location based upon deck plan but will confirm once on board. I lost the cabana but, in my opinion, gained a lot in its place. Possibly a lot of factors involved, given what has occurred with this inaugural season. I know some have reported free upgrades during the first few sails, but I'm ok.  I still got a really good deal.

Princess Cruises attracts a wide passenger base, but the majority are North Americans. If you sail on the larger Princess ships, you'll meet a range of passengers from solo travelers to big multigenerational family groups. The smaller Princess ships cater to more mature travelers who want longer, more exotic itineraries and need fewer family-friendly elements. Princess offers a casual yet refined traditional cruise experience with an emphasis on dining, Broadway-style entertainment and live music.

I prefer smaller older royal ships and NCL breakaway class. J&J just posted an hour long tour of the ship. The loungers next to the pool at the sanctuary now are setup with nice cushions. Casino hit or miss but have seen jackpots. Hard to find $5 crap table these days. Cruising has often been referred to as a lifestyle, and nowhere is that celebrated more than here at Cruise Critic.

You are lying to yourself if you think it's free. @CruiseLibre As others have mentioned, you should cancel your cruise and move on. Above all, traveling is for having fun and making memories for yourself and love ones you share the time with.

Looking to plan your first-ever cruise, or simply curious about a ship you’ve never tried, a line you’ve never sailed or an itinerary you’ve been interested in? Cruise Critic’s Message Boards are the place to start. For any cruises listed, Cruise Critic does not guarantee any specific rates or prices. In addition, average cruise prices are updated nightly. First, you have to pay a higher rate in order to tuck it on, and then it costs money on top of that.
