Spacious Facilities

Even though certain ships can host over 3,000 passengers, the atmosphere never feels crowded or cramped. The friendly and professional staff are always ready to assist the needs of traveling guests. Accommodations are spacious and guests are sure to appreciate the luxurious amenities. Princess Cruise Lines feature the best facilities for persons with disabilities.

Options include Italian, Cajun-Creole, steaks and seafood, and Japanese Cuisine. At least two or more formal nights are required on board for cruises lasting seven days or longer.

The Bad

Cover charges
Limited featured trips
Not all activities are included

Cover Charges

Cover charges apply at specialty restaurants. You will want to make reservations prior to boarding, especially if you want to dine on a formal night. Princess also provides a five-course private balcony stateroom dinner and a Champagne balcony brunch for an additional fee. Exclusive meals at the Chef's Table cost $95 per person.

Limited Featured Trips

With so many cruise ships and destinations to choose form, one would think that there would be more specialty cruises available. Princess only offers two unique featured trips which include:

Seven days from Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy to Barcelona, Spain from $498 per person
Ten days from Fairbanks to Vancouver, British Columbia $898-$4000 per person

Not all Activities are Included

Long lines are normal on Princess Cruise Lines. Since the ships are very large, it is easy to get lost aboard the ship. Offshore excursions are not included in the price of the cruise. Be aware that not all activities are included in the price of your cruise.

The Bottom Line

Princess Cruise Lines is perfect for travelers of all ages. There is plenty of activities for children and teenagers to enjoy. Persons with disabilities will find Princess Cruise Lines to be the best fit for their unique medical needs. Adults can relax kid-free on specific areas of the ship. Prices are affordable for any budget. Packages and special offers are available online. We recommend trying Princess Cruise Lines for your next big adventure.

Princess is definitely more of a luxury cruise line! We have traveled with Princess several times on an adults only vacation, and it's never disappointed! Very clean, great crew, and such a fun time!

We've been on two Princess cruises, Alaska and Mexican Riviera, and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. So many onboard activities to choose from and we also enjoyed our time off the ship. The crew was kind and helpful, and the staterooms were nice and spacious. Highly recommend!

I’ve been on 5 Princess cruises and never disappointed. The ships are very clean and staff has is always very courteous. I like that they have preferred customer discounts and perks. The more we cruise with them, the better value.

Several years ago my family went on a cruise down to Mexico from LA and had a great time! The ship was really new and nice and the crew was great. The food was better than I was expecting and there were lots of fun things to do for me and all my siblings of varying ages. Would highly recommend!

Princess Saphire is the first cruise we went on and it was the best vacation we ever had. I loved not having to cook food all week. My kids had a blast and it was so relaxing.
