Best Princess cruise?

What is the best Princess cruise you have ever taken? What made it the best? Were you celebrating an occasion? Was it a milestone cruise? Was it on your bucket list?

Let's here some happy stories!

The Princess official 50th Anniversary cruise in Dec 2015. Two weeks aboard the beautiful little Pacific Princess with the cast of the original TV show Love Boat aboard. Many special guests, entertainers and food. Hard to top that one

My best cruise experience was on a 2014 15 day connoisseur escorted cruise tour. The scenery, wild life, food, lodging, transportation, and our great escort, Jack Curtiss, all made the trip awesome and hassle-free. What made it even more special was that it was taken with a dozen friends from my home town and my Navy submarine crew.

Our cruising history includes 3 Princess cruises, and all were wonderful.

One was an Alaskan cruise including Glacier Bay. It was a wonderful itinerary and was enhanced even more by the presence of Michael Modzelewski, a naturalist.

Another was a British Isles cruise on the small, wonderful (but unfortunately since sold) Ocean Princess. And we spent our wedding anniversary (#36) on an overnight in Edinburg in which we attended the Military Tattoo, truly wonderful.

But our best was our first Princess cruise, a Baltic cruise to celebrate our 30th anniversary. It was a wonderful itinerary, and there were few but great people on our roll call. We shared a private tour in St. Petersburg with 8 others from the roll call. Another couple from our roll call lived one town away from DW's mother, and we were able to meet them before the cruise when visiting her family. It also seemed to be one of the few cruises that included Oslo, which we found to be a very interesting port.

Just answering in general on our Princess cruises.

The longest and "nicest" cruises to far away and/or exotic places were certainly good.

Yet, we have actually most enjoyed "just for the fun of it" cruises to the Caribbean. :D

A very different cruise that was one of the best I've taken on Princess was the Sapphire Princess 4/08 from Sydney to LA. Great group of friends, some of whom are lifelong friends; very active roll call, great independent tours.

Best cruise ever: Caribbean Princess in 2012 to the British Isles.

What made it so special: the ports, the fantastic private tours shared with great friends from the Roll Call, the wonderful people I met on the Roll Call, the strange deja vu feeling while in Scotland and the places I saw (just incredible!).

Any special milestone: No. In fact, I got quite ill toward the end of the cruise and was traveling solo. Now that was an experience almost passing out in Edinburgh all by myself, a long distance from the ship. Still didn't ruin the overall experience!:D

Can't wait to get back to see more of the BI!

2014 Regal 17 day Med cruise when she was brand new- It was our 10th anniversary celebration, all new, magical ports, and the amazing new ship!

After 50+ cruises... it is hard... probably the best Princess cruises over past 30 years... Baltic on on old Royal, first all balcony ship.. Baltic itinerary on the ship was excellent; next was cruise out of Rome to Eypt, Israel, Greece, again on a small Royal .. great service, great ports what can I say... beyond these two really enjoy going on the Grand out San Francisco... great service, other complain Grand old, she is like an old friend aging gracefully... no flight to get to the ship for us, simply take a taxi... very relaxing cruise... compared to flying to Barcelona this coming October to to a TA on the new Royal. Flying today is a challenge... we are flying in two day early... been to Barcelona many times great city with air delays... can't take a chance of missing the ship... due airline delays... Could not name one... but here is my run down Princess... we also cruise other lines. have 25 cruises on Princess alone.

Our best cruise so far was on the Star Princess from L.A. to Hawaii this past March. The entertainment was superb - Modern Gentlemen, Tyler Brice, Captain Steubing, piano players, magician, trio in the Piazza and especially Elua. And all of this included Captain Tuvo. Weather was perfect, tours were great and we met some wonderful people.

Our Baltic Cruise on the "ole" Royal Princess will also be a special memory for us too! :D

The first cruise I booked . Half a World cruise of 53 nights from Sydney to Dover in 2011. It was also my first overseas trip , so it ticked a lot of bucket list places. And it got me hooked on cruising [emoji16]It was on the Dawn Princess

My longest and best was in 2010 on the Sapphire Princess. It was 62 days round-trip from the US to Sydney Australia and back. With stops each way in Hawaii, Tahiti, and New Zealand.

Our cruise tour to Alaska was my favorite so far. But I'm always hoping that my next cruise will be my favorite until it's surpassed by another.

The best was our Holy Land cruise on the Pacific Princess and the Baltic cruise on the Regal. Beautiful places that was seen only before in school books.

I was on that cruise & agree 100%. A once in a lifetime cruise. How can you top having ALL of the original Love Boat cast there?

The next one!!! :D

Our 2011 Med Trans Atlantic T/A. Our fantastic roll call and the great ports made for one special voyage.....:):):)

Golden Princess: 25 nights Asia/Exotics October 2016, From Beijing (Port Tianjin) To Sydney Australia

What made it Special?: We spent a week in Beijing prior to leaving which was fantastic. It went to Osaka, our 3rd visit to Japan last year. The ports where amazing and I love Hong Kong. I've loved Hong Kong since my childhood and this was visit number 8, However it's my first time on a ship, The experience was amazing though I was almost in tears seeing Hong Kong vanish into the night. All the other ports where fantastic, Taiwan and Vietnam where both 1st times for me. On the other hand Benoa/Bali is definitely not a port I'd get off again, that's not so bad for 25 nights. Apart from ports I think the length of the cruise played a big role, I've been to fiji on the same boat and room this year for a 13 nighter, it wasn't as good.

My favorite was the 17-day round trip Adriatic and Mediterranean out of Southampton in 2014! The itinerary was splendid, as was the Emerald Princess, and there was a lovely Trivia competition, with great enthusiasm, going between male and female passengers - there were many sea days, which in my opinion is always a good thing

They have all been great. However, our British Isles cruise on the Crown was special. Great itinerary, great private excursions, good weather (mostly) and met the best people.

Our best cruise so far was on the Star Princess from L.A. to Hawaii this past March. The entertainment was superb - Modern Gentlemen, Tyler Brice, Captain Steubing, piano players, magician, trio in the Piazza and especially Elua. And all of this included Captain Tuvo.

Aloha!

I remember that cruise well! It was pretty close to a perfect cruise in the respect of operational things. Great group of guests, smooooooth seas and great weather in the island...and anytime you can get Modern Gentlemen on a cruise, it's a winner. I'm a big fan of that group. And of course Captain Bye Bye!

Aloha No,

Alaska with grandkids on the Star and Ruby. The absolute destination winner, however, was 30 days CapeTown to Dover on the Ocean Princess preceded by a week in South Africa. It was the last season before the sadness of Ebola eliminated most ports. Excellent companions at the solo dinner table and wonderful experience from beginning to end. I have been lucky to have many many wonderful cruises but this was the best. Happy cruises to all.

Star Princess...Antarctica round trip from Buenos Aires.
