An excellent back to back cruise with superb entertainment.
Crew were brilliant.
We had a fabulous time. Every member of staff who works on the ship are just brilliant. They are super patient, friendly, attentive and are just amazing. The service was great, the rooms are cozy and clean.
The drinks and food aplenty, super delicious and fresh. Embarking and disembarking was easy and quick.
I booked this cruise as I am a big Michael Ball fan and he was giving two concerts
during the seven day cruise. The supporting acts were excellent, especially Rock
Opera, exclusive to Princess. Michael’s performance was fantastic, bearing in mind he had just fought off Covid! I booked as solo cruiser and met up with a lovely group
Of other solo cruisers, so was able to dine with them before making our way to the
theatre.
Enchanted Princess being recently launched is still in an as new condition. However, its public spaces are poorly designed even comparing to similar design ships from the same group. For example getting around the ship one can only use the starboard side as there is no walkway through the ship on the main decks around promenade. There is very little that could be described as a prom deck. The public room venues are scheduled poorly resulting in huge overcrowding in various rooms such as the rooms used for quizzes, the rear nightclub room and even the theatre.
The departure experience from Southampton involved a very long hot queue out of the doors leading to security scanning. Yet on the other side of security were many unused seating areas.
The best part of the Princess cruise was the dining room service and food. Along with cabin services and condition of their new ship.
The worst part and the key reason I would not recommend is the 8-10 week wait to get emails answered by customer services, and the normal very long waits to have calls answered only to get through to someone in pre cruise sales helping out who cant assist with anything that needs dealing with post cruise. Even pre cruise there is no answer to emails and when there is a response they seem to think its ok to state there is an 8 week response time. In my company 48 hours is considered too long. If we used 8 weeks we would have no business. I would only sail with Princess if there was an amazingly low cost cruise with a great itinerary which is worth risking their horrific landside customer care.
A beautiful ship, staff attentive and friendly. Shows outstanding.
Wonderful experience can’t wait to go again.
Norway made the trip so good are next one will be up there
Absolutely brilliant with superb entertainment.
A fantastic cruise , great accomodation , the service was exceptional , lovely food and the ship was out of this world , the entertainment was superb , a tremendous experience
Excellent couldn't fault it in any way
A very relaxing cruise - just what we wanted. Covid restrictions optional.
Embarkation very quick in spite of us not being able to fully access quick check in before we left home
which was very complicated.
Beautiful ship, very attentive and polite staff, nothing too much trouble. Embarkation had numerous problems and staff lost control of the situation but didn’t spoil the holiday.
Accommodation first rate, food good, missed the lobster!
An excellent ship with incredible facilities all made better with the Medallion
Booked this cruise to Iceland and Norway instead of our intended trip to the same destinations on Sky Princess in June.Massive saving and princess plus included,downside was school holidays,although the ship was not too crowded. Royal class ship with slight differences to various bars and eateries,due to staff shortages dinner times were sometimes challenging although we seemed to fare quiet well,although we booked anytime dining we mostly ate in the fixed dining restaurant.As always all staff were really friendly and helpful and with a virtually brand new ship the decor was excellent.But disappointed that there were only two production shows during our two week cruise.
I have been on 8 cruise's and this one was the best and the next cruise will be up that way
Once you have been on a cruise it is the only way to holiday
