What Do You Love Most About Cruising With Princess?

[cruisergal 1]

We're going onto our 4th Princess Cruise (having cruised with many other lines before, we keep coming back to Princess. I love MUTS, watching movies in the open air, under the stars, snuggled behind a blanket, munching on some popcorn! I love the International Cafe, its fresh smelling delicious pastries, great brewed java, people watching, great ambiance! I love all the closet space available to hang up my clothes and get dressed, the spaceousness of the room, and of course the balcony. The wide opened door while falling asleep at night, listening to the waves crashing!

 

What do you love about Princess?

I love the exotic itineraries.

[Shamrock359]

Anytime dining and the freshwater pools for starters.

[willysgrandma]

Their itineraries, their pricing, the service and most of the ships, although I am not a fan of their smaller or older ships - the bigger the better.

 

I also love my Elite benefits.

[Druke I]

I think the thing that keeps us coming back is the wide variety of itineraries, plus the "past passenger" perks are pretty good, all things considered.

I agree on both counts. Most mid-priced cruise lines are pretty similar these days, we have tried all but NCL. What had us returning to Princess in the first place, after trying the rest, was the itinearys they offered. And the past passenger perks are (we think) the very BEST in the industry!

24 hour buffet.

[Clutterlady]

Only doing our 3rd Princess cruise, but feel that Princess is just the "right fit" for us now:)

We love the balconies, the aft pool, anytime dining, the indoor muster drill, the dance lessons (fun!), and most of all the very nice passengers we have met. Can't wait for our next cruise on Princess.

[crusinpeg]

Everything!!!!!!!!!

[pnut362]

Am I the only one who loves the food????

The Crown Grill is one of my favs!

But i also love the freshwater pools, MUTS, and the intineraries..

have never tried another line because we loved our 1st Princess cruise so much we find no need to go anywhere else!

You can get great food anywhere, fly to exotic ports, be waited on hand and foot, but there's only one reason for me to go cruising: THE OCEAN!!!

Being a mother wife, and the home all the kids invite their friends to, I'm always serving others. I love shellfish but no one else in my family does, My kids are allergic to more food than not, so the cruise is my food paradise. We alway cruise with our friends family and kids, so their are so many activities that someone in our group is either playing battle of the sexes, survivor , watching movies, trying to become the next Princess Pop Star, or winning the dance contest. Oh I feel like a Princess while cruising Princess.:D(Oh that was me and I placed 2nd)

[mtaylor04]

The ocean, the freshwater pools, mini-suites and the amazing friendliness and service we always get.

[Andee]

Anytime Dining--even though I don't think the food on Prncess is fabulous, I won't take a cruise that only offers Traditional Dining.

[skybuffalo]

There are so many items that I love about Princess that it would be hard to narrow it down. The quality of customer service and food stand out for us. Their various cold soups are a hit with me. We always look forward to having a cup of their coffee (we actually like it). We also love the MUTS and try to find a ship that has it incorporated.

The ships design.....the 24 hour "freedom" (OK, food), the in-room and on screen entertainment, THE PASTRY SELECTONS.

[luv2swim]

Afternoon tea--every day!

[helpmesailaway]

All of the Above!!!!!:) :D :cool: :rolleyes: :p

[ssbeagle]

The itineraries, prices, ships (not too glitzy, but elegant), service, Captain's Circle perks (once you are elite they are the best of any cruise line), and the fresh water pools. There isn't much I don't like about Princess.

[B40 Tha Cruisa]

Elegance and reasonable price for me.

 

For the mainstream cruiselines it sets itself apart from Carnival and RCCL.(No waterslides, rock walls, hockey rinks, etc.)

[RvrCrzr]

~I like Princess service better than other lines.

~I like Princess' choice of ports better than other lines. (RCI ships seem to all go to the same trampled ports on every ship. Sure...they have the biggest ships. They all go to the same places...)

~I like the 24 hour food access.

~I like the fresh water pools, and the fact they actually have pools for adults only.

~I like the indoor muster drill. (you roast outdoors in on the crowded promenade on other lines)

~I like the sliding balcony doors.

~I like the constant barage of things they send me in the mail.

~I like their website, and all the things I can access there.

~I like their embark/debark process. Much smoother than other lines.

~I like the champagne waterfall party!

 

I could go on and on. I just feel comfortable with Princess. It fits us well.

[pris993]

We are elite on Princess. Will leave on our 17th cruise with Princess this month to Mexico.

Love the Traditional Dining option and second setting.

Entertainment

Bingo and the casino

Formal nights

Being at sea

Crusing round trip from San FRancisco, TAs and Mediterranean cruises especially. Last year we did a cruise out of Rome to Israel and Egypt, enjoyed it so much we are going again.

Table for 2 in the diningroom.

Breakfast in our cabin

Doing ports on our own

Layze days on the balcony

Lunch on the balcony

Walking the promenada deck

[rdsqrl]

Freshwater pools.

Unique itineraries.

Ships that are ships and not floating shopping malls/ice rinks/gymnasiums.

Elegant atmosphere at reasonable prices.

The combination of the line's British and Italian roots (from P&O and Sitmar, I guess) in officers/dining room staff/general onboard ambiance.

The martini menu!

[B40 Tha Cruisa]

The bucket of 5 Dos Equis for the price of 4! Even though its still a rip off... LOL

 

Had to add that to my list
