Grand Princess Cruise Ship Reviews
Grand Princess Ship Information

Grand Princess features spacious interiors and a wide range of attractive public rooms and intimate places. It offers plenty of activities for adults and children alike and easily seems to absorb the large number of passengers carried. Grand Princess passengers tend to be mixed ages and American and British depending on region and ship.. When all cabins have double occupancy, the ship provides a space ratio of 41.9 tons per passenger and a crew to passenger ratio of one for every 2.4 passengers. At full capacity the space ratio is 35.2 tons per passenger and the crew ratio is one to 2.8 passengers

Betty Draper said:

The ship was as expected. Very Clean and very American.
The food was fine but the background music in the Dining room was overpowering. After a few nights, it stopped! Perhaps it annoyed other passengers more than me. Coffee was not so good. We tried Coffee in the bar and even though this was chargeable it was still rubbish. British tastes in entertainment are different from Americans, but the pianist playing in the lobby was a great success with everyone. The Ports of call were very varied. The Autumn colours were a bit late for this cruise, but the warm weather was a bonus. The cruise staff did not cope well with immigration on entering Bar Harbour. Although this was done on board, many UK travellers including us waited over 3 hours to even see the immigration people. When we did, it took a matter of minutes to complete. As we had booked a tour, all the tours were running late and the organization went to pot.
We shared a dinner table with six other passengers and although we were a little apprehensive we all got on very well.
All the facilities were first class,and the only other thing which was a bit sad.. We never saw the Captain except for a few minutes at the cocktail party. I wouldn't know him again if I fell over him. I would sail again with Princess as their standards are very high, but not with The Grand Princess.
On flying home overnight from New York we had paid extra to travel premium plus with BA. We were seated in Economy with no explanation. Its only when you are on board you realise the mistake. There were no seats available and this matter has been raised with Princess cruises who had dealt with the booking. They are looking into the matter as I write and I hope for an early explanation and settlement
