Pros: Personal Choice dining; perks from being Elite
Cons: Lack of cleanliness, entertainment options, staff attitude, not so great food.

Pros: A fine experience unless one is unlucky.
Cons: Passengers are vulnerable to criminal acts. Cruise ships cooperate only when legally compelled.
Summary: There were many things exemplary about our Inland Straits cruise experience on the Sun Princess line. We are in our sixties and this was our first cruise. We deliberately chose not to vacation in urban areas regardless of how rich the history. We wanted ...

Pros: Staterooms with private balconies, good itinerary
Cons: Poorly organized activities, limited menu, bad service and presentation, penny pushing.
Summary: What was supposed to be a 5 star quality and value turned out to be barely 2 star. I am an experienced cruiser and expected good service, nice facilities, personal treatment and fun atmosphere. Instead, there were crowds and lines everywhere,...

Pros: High space to passenger and crew to passenger ratios, courteous and friendly crew
Cons: Crew was somewhat difficult to understand, dinner was below average at main restaurant
Summary: You might think that a cruise is a cruise is a cruise. Nothing can be further from the truth. Aside from specifications such as the number of rooms, space to passenger and crew to passenger ratios, any review of a cruise will be largely subjective. But...

Pros: Dining choices, private balconies, roomy promenade deck
Cons: none
Summary: A 10-day cruise starting in the Pacific and ending up in the Caribbean sounds like a dream, and it actually is! Princess Cruises knows how to treat a passenger and does it well on the Sun Princess. Stops in Mexico, Costa Rica, Columbia, Aruba, and St....

Pros: Beautiful Scenery, Great Service, Good Food
Cons: Having to fly back to Vancouver rather than sailing back.
Summary: My family and I sailed the Sun Princess from Vancouver, BC to Seward, Alaska in August 1999. We booked late so we were given the only adjacent staterooms available at the time. These were set up for handicapped guests and so were more spacious than...

Pros: Luxury at its best

Summary: We decided to take the Panama Canal cruise in Oct. 1998 because the following year the canal was being returned to Panama, and figured we should do it now as who knows what the future holds. We really splurged and got a cabin with a balcony. The only way...
