Princess Cruise Lines
reviews & complaints

Just finished 14day cruise on the Majestic Princess It was wonderful EXCEPT for the Hollywood Conservatory rules At 1600 hrs We were asked to leave for cleaning .And only the Elite were allowed back in for Drinks and Hors d'oeuvres

We went in to see if our friends were there and there were only five or so couples there. Allot of waisted space, In the best place on the Ship .My thoughts would be to set that event up in another bar So the general public can watch out the best view on the Ship !

H A has a Happy hour in the same type of room called the Crows Nest It is open for every one and is very busy ,With lots of fun and laughter.

Great trip Good service

will go again

A week after the total cruise fee was due, April 22, 2022, Princess changed the itinerary, dropped a port, shortened and changed the timeline for the other ports for this Alaska cruise and indicated the Crown Princess would be in "pause" mode for maintenance issues. Princess obviously know about this issue well ahead of this date, but made sure to wait until everyone had to make final payment. Thus, no total refund would be issued to anyone, regardless of insurance paid. This is not only unfair, it appears to be illegal, using deception and mismanagement in order to keep the money of paying passengers.

Booking ref 2MXW9C Ann Tregenza Sailing May4 2022 Seattle - Alaska 7 Day cruise.! 3 days ago (end of April 2022) I had a non reply email telling me the cruise itinerary was changed due to "scheduled Engine Maintenance" and the stop to Ketchikan (vibrant town with famous Lumberjack show) had been replaced by Icy Point (Fish Factory). I am distressed as I booked my trip a year ago and am travelling 4000 miles from the UK following my grandfathers footsteps. He went to Boston across the US to Seattle and worked with Alaska steamship company in Ketchikan and died in Seattle in 1933. This is a special once in a lifetime trip for our 10th Wedding anniversary and I am very unhappy that at the last minute this change - with a $100 PP spend on board compensation! has happened.

I have been with Princess Cruises for 22 years. Retiring from an airline, I take a couple cruises every year, most of them with different cruise lines. I brought stock in Princess and thought I would only use them and bring up my status.

I talked three other people, first time with Princess, to take the Alaska land/cruise. We booked them with Princess, at the same time on the phone. He said we would each get $25.00 credit for recommending new customers. When I emailed the information, they said I should have hung up and emailed first, then make the reservations.

Next I get an email that Princess changed two of the three lodges from the Princess lodges to someone else. My main reason for using Princess was to stay at the beautiful lodges on the pictures. If there was a maintenance problem with one of them, that is understandable. But to downgrade the lodges is bad business.

I got an email that my Skagway train excursion was cancelled and the money was being returned to my account. I call the next morning and the Princess representative said that all excursions were cancelled. I called Skagway and they said it was because the trip I was taking went into Canada and they were not allowing it at this time. Shouldn't Princess know that and let people know before scheduling the trip. Also, on checking of different excursions, they weren't starting until later in the month. That should be brought up at the time of making reservations for the cruise.

Princess has been in business too long for this kind of mistakes. I've called and emailed numerus times to talk to someone about the problems. After long waits on hold, they said they couldn't take my number or email to resolve the problems.

#3P7K6R, Princess Majestic, BBX, Alaska land/cruise on May11-21, 2022

On 4/9/22 I arrived at LAX airport at 2:15pTransportation service was paid for by me. I'm awaiting to be picked up by transportation provided by Princess Cruise. But there was no transportation provided. As time was now underway I obtained a taxi arriving at the pier where the Majestic Cruise Line at 3; 30pm. The gate officer announces that the ship had pulled the robes in so I was left. This incident happen due to no transportation at the airport upon my arrival. My sister was on the ship and she was at the customer service desk explaining ng that I was outside at the gate, she and i was on speaker phone. To my dismay the ship left me. This was not my fault . I then met the ship on Monday 4/11/22 in Sanfrancisco. I have tried to resolve this issue of inconvenience, and to receive imbursements for two hotel nights, and air fare to meet the ship on monday 4/11/22, as well as a second covid test which I paid out of pocket and was told to keep receipts. Despite many calls to Customer relations, and waiting on the phone for each call an hour and more just to be directed to someone who just wants to say anything to get you off the phone. On 4/11/22 once i did arrive on the ship, my sister was at service desk for help and resolution. They referred us to the Customer Relation phone line. Never getting a resolution. Princess also never refunded us for an Excursion trip that the cruise line cancelled due to not enough people attending.

My name is Kim Nurse. My husband and I have just disembarked from a 14 night France, Spain and Portugal tour on the Sky Princess arriving back in Southampton on 23 April 2022. The night before arriving back in the UK, I was asked to leave my luggage outside my stateroom overnight, so that it could be collected from the luggage hall the following day. We were allocated Navy 7 luggage tags.

When I arrived at the luggage hall, one of my cases was missing. After a thorough search of all luggage tag colours and luggage lines in the hall, my case was still missing. I reported this to the Princess's contracted company SMS International Shore Operations - where Deborah Barfoot took details of the lost, confirmed it was not in the luggage hall, and said that a representative from princess cruises would contact me. So far I have not yet heard from anyone.

My vanity case was high gloss bright pink, hard shell, with carrying strap.

We are elite and usually in 40 most traveled passengers ! I called Ocean Navigator and they said they don’t have access to request by the back window in bonicelli dining room!

On Saturday, March 26, 2022, I noticed an email that we had been upgraded from the Cabin #A707 we had chosen on the Emerald Princess. The cabin they were trying to put us in was a deck below with a connecting door and an extra bunk. Immediately, I phoned Princess to get it changed back to the cabin we had originally picked, and it was within the 48-hour time limit. I thought it had been resolved until this morning when I opened our email only to discover that we didn't get our original cabin back, but it was one nearby. I called Princess Customer Relations and remained on hold for 3 hours, and during this time, I learned that we were moved, not so much as an upgrade, but to accommodate someone else who was traveling with others. I asked Customer Relations if they could move the people who were in our original cabin to the one they had put us in, and at first was told no because they were traveling together with someone who had the cabin next to it, but after I explained that it wasn't the right thing to do, and I was displeased, they were able to get it changed back.

We have been cruising with Princess for a while now and this made us feel

undervalued and underappreciated.

Booking orders: 2L8MXP (M227A 18 days Orient - Japan) has been cancelled & Princess send us a letter (see attached copy) giving us three options: 1) transfer to a recommended cruise. 2) A 110% future cruise credit. 3) A full refund. We have until April 15 to select an option.

When we call 661-284-4414 request to working on a replacement cruise or equivalent cruise, Princess denied with a simple reason: These options are not for the Casino booking. We only have a refund option. When we request review the letter that Princess has sent to us (say nothing about Casino) then the operator transfer us to others & others. We already purchased travel tickets, hotels ..Please review because this is not right, not with the guidelines from Princess. Princess should follow the guidelines that they sent to us notify how we would like our booking handled.

We just want to re-booking the order.

Booking 3P8T2W (M307A 17 days Souththeast Asia) has been cancelled & Princess send us a letter (see attached copy) giving us only two options: 1) A 100% future cruise credit. 3) A full refund. We have until April 15 to select an option. When we call 661-284-4414 request to working on a replacement cruise or equivalent cruise, Princess denied with a simple reason: These options are not for Casino booking. We only have a refund option.

Again, we just want to rebook not a refund.

We are currently booking so many cruises from Princess this year & future cruises. This cancellation is not convenient for us at all. Please review & help us. We would like to have a chance to re-booking these two cruises. Thank you for your help.

We just return from a princess cruise. We could not download the medallion app and have not received a detailed bill for the cruise although the charges did hit our credit card. I was told in the last day of our cruise that we would be receiving an email detailing all of our charges but never received it.

Our booking number was 3R8M5K on Regal Princess.

I have just spent 1 ¼ hours holding the phone trying to contact Princess Cruises and have tried all other possible ways to contact them with no success

The phone message told me to look at FAQs but they do not answer my questions.

It also told me to fill in ‘the short contact form’ which again gives no relevant options so is useless.

I have tried to email but cannot find any email address.

this happen today but it happens all the time your workers have no common sense I have so many scars because of princess cruise i hurt. First such a big company i should not have to Waite one hour to talk to someone. Second this guy Robert that picks up is plain stupid. I tell him who I am # 8587556729 I want to hold two Balcony's next to each other and I tell him the ship is filling up. He does not listen. He does he procedure with out doing what I ask. It took 33 more minutes for me to get through his procedure for the first cabin. Meanwhile the 8 cabins that were available on the 10 floor had booked with someone else. What wrong with this picture. Princess better wake up you are loosing customers. I get flyers from a lot of cruise companies. I already canceled one cruise for this year. There was a clusters of mistakes when I cruise in last December 2021. You know last two years I have booked and sailed and three different call ins was answered by the same guy. But he was précised. Once I said my name, he remembered me. He told me he was retiring. good man I am so upset with this Robert guy for being so stupid. I am done with Princess Cruise line.

On 1/3/2022, I called to cancel my cruise scheduled for 2/5/2022 due to my party of 3 not being comfortable with the high COVID cases. We have travel protection. The message when I called said that due to the high volume of callers for those with cruises after 1/31/2022 to call the next week. I called 1/12/2022 and since it was less than 30 days we would lose our deposit. I was following the directions given by the phone message. I don't feel this is fair, and in such situations, deposits should be returned.
