Princess Cruise Line

Launched in 1965 with a single ship, the chartered Princess Patricia, Princess Cruises was acquired by the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O) in 1974. In 1975 the company's Pacific Princess became the star of the world-famous TV series, "The Love Boat", making her one of the best-known cruise ships in the world. In 1988 Sitmar Cruises was taken over, adding four additional ships to the fleet. P&O's cruise division was demerged from the mother company in 2000 and is now named P&O Princess Cruises. In 2003, Princess was acquired by Carnival Corporation and will be operated as a separate brand within Carnival. With five new ships on order and two former Renaissance Cruises vessels about to join the fleet, Princess will further expand its popular "Personal Choice Cruising" experience.

• Warren Steffey  Ruby Princess  Southern Carribean

  We sailed out of Ft. Lauderdale on a 10 day cruise to the Southern Caribbean. Except for the entertainment, this was our best Princess cruise so far. This was the best food we have ever had on... read more

  Great cruise, great service. Food was very good. Anytime-Dining was a formidable option. After reading several negative reviews posted, and though this was not my best cruise ever, I feel the... read more

  All in all, it was a good trip - not excellent, but good. We took the 7 day trip out from Los Angeles, had a very easy and fairly inexpensive Princess shuttle from the plane to the boat (and back,... read more

• Kay Page  Dawn Princess  New Zealand

  We were sadly disappointed in Dawn Princess for a long list of reasons, both big and small. It's hard to be brief while also explaining, but these included disappointing rip-off shore excursions,... read more

  We have taken many cruises through the years but this was our first on Princess and our first small ship experience. The Royal Princess, formerly part of the Renaissance fleet, is still a gem! With... read more

  Against our better judgment, we agreed to go on this cruise to celebrate our good friend's milestone birthday ... with our two-year-old twins in tow. If we had older children who could have swam... read more

• Steve Greenwell  Crown Princess  Western Caribbean

  My wife and I enjoyed the cruise. The Crown Princess does an excellent job of packing us in, mustering us, and disembarking us. They're not bad on the steps in between either. Accustomed to the... read more

• Richard  Coral Princess  Panama Canal

  Overall, Princess gets many things right, but it is not the cruise line for me. 10-day cruises or longer generally attract a much older crowd and that was certainly the case on our voyage. I would... read more

• Beres Hogan  Dawn Princess  Rabaul

  Disappointed overall with the service whilst on-board the Dawn Princess. Ports were a highlight of this cruise with Rabaul and Champagne Bay by far the best on offer. The ship's fit out is a bit... read more
