Princess Cruises - Grand Princess Review Summary

Frequent cruises and married couples have found that the Grand Princess controlled by Princess Cruises "is a beautiful ship" that takes its passengers to "good ports" and provides "a lot to do" during the voyage. With stops in places like Jamaica and the Western Caribbean, many enjoyable ports present themselves on the ship. Friendly staff that provided great service, and a lot of dining options were at the top of the list as the best amenities being offered to travelers. One reviewer really liked that they were able to take dancing lessons, and that there were great venues provided for dancing. Other enjoyable moments for reviewers took place in the nice theater, the pool, and at a "movie under the stars" showing. Nearly everything about the Grand Princess has been positive amongst reviewers except for their thoughts that this is not a cruise that kids would have fun on. If you are planning on celebrating an anniversary, this could be the perfect cruise.

Princess terminal was vacant! We walked in, showed passports to the military at the entrance, proceeded to DOLPHIN which had regular & express. We are express so we just walked up she tears out the tix & credit card sigs, gave us our ship cards & up the ramp we went (3 mins max, including ship ID photo)....

Several years ago I had an unpleasant experience on Princess when one of the staff was rude when I questioned why nothing was done to recognize our 25th anniversary on the cruise. It was a long 16 day cruise, and I was really irritated that lots of travelers received free bottles of wine, etc., for no special occasion. My husband and I were ignored and then treated rudely when I questioned it, especially since Princess throws away lots of bottles of champagne on a trademark champagne waterfall.
Consequently, my husband and I didn't take a Princess cruise for several years until I found an... review »

This is a beautiful ship, however, it is not meant for families.

Grand Princess is a beautiful ship however it is not meant for families. If you're looking for a great cruise experience and you're retired, go on this ship. It's more seen as an older cruise line just like Holland America is. Although it has a game room for the kids, it really is not a great cruise for many activities. Many of the shows were not that interesting and not really entertaining. I slept through some of them and got up through some of them. However, on a plus side, the ports of call are really exotic and very beautiful. The size of the cabins including the bathroom is not that big,...

My husband and I, we went on this particular cruise last year. All I can they, we've enjoyed it a lot. Plenty of different activities, good, satisfying food, we've made new friends... That's not bad for just a two-week vacation time. Sightseeing tours were especially good: very informative and professionally conducted. I woud recommend anybody these particular cruises. Check for youselves!!!

Enjoyed cruising on Princess. One of the highlights of the ship was "Movies Under the Stars." Such fun! Food was excellent and plenty of it. Enjoyed being able to eat when we wanted to and not some pre-set schedule. Nice fitness area. We cruised the Western Carribean. Wasn't that crazy about the ports of call, but that's just personal preference. Thought the price of the shore trips through Princess was a little pricey. We went through shoretrips.com instead. Worked out fine for us. Enjoyed visiting the Mayan ruins, but hubby & I aren't big beach people, so Cancun and the Princess private island... review »

As a long time Princess cruiser, I have to say I love this ship. It was a little big at times, but it had plenty of cozy corners to get away. We always found something fun to do (or good to eat!) and found ourselves back on the ship again recently. We've never had a bad eperience with Princess. We just love them!

Princess overall is a great line to cruise with. The Grand Princess is a nice ship. Overall had a nice experience however year after year, on cruise after cruise Princess never changes the menu. It's so predictable. The ship has a lot of great ammenities however Royal Caribbean is just way more fun!

Princess Cruises - Grand Princess - ship is not that fab for the size of it.

Royal Carribean and Celebrity do better with the big ships.
