Had a Disappointing Experience

TripAdvisor rating 2.0/5

Monika G TripAdvisor review

I wish I had a better review to share, because my family and I were really looking forward to this event. We had so much fun last year that we decided to book a stay to make it extra special, however it was disappointing all-the-way around. We attempted to arrive a little early for our 4 pm check-in and spent a good 2 hours just trying to park. We finally settled on valet parking (which we didn’t want), because another family member drove their own car and self-parked and called and told us not to because the shuttle was running behind and they were still waiting for it after 30 mins. Upon check-in, I waited another 10 mins before asking a bellhop if I was at the right counter for check-in, because there was no one there. He confirmed I was in the right spot and I continued to wait until I was finally checked in and given our room keys and event passes. We were told there would be an event map in the room. After we got to our room, we noticed the building had a funky odor. When our other family member arrived via shuttle he commented that the building smelled like they painted recently. Our bathroom was dirty when we arrived. I took pictures to show that the tile floor had big splotches of a sticky & dirty residue. The carpet was shedding in our room as well, which is also shown in the pics. Our in-room coffee maker wasn’t working correctly either, making about 1/4 of a cup on the largest cup setting. I could probably overlook that if we had a better time at the event but we wasted so much time trying to park and check in that we didn’t get started until almost 7pm. We weren’t provided a map as promised and couldn’t find one at first, so we had to navigate our way around by asking event staff how to find food, which took us several tries. We finally got food at The Lodge and waited 20 mins for my husband to get a cold Bison burger and my 6-year old to get cold Mac n Cheese. My bison chili was warm and delicious, but I felt bad for them. We were too hungry to wait to get warm food, so they just ate the cold food so we could get started on the fun. We never got our hands on a map. By now it’s 8-ish and the 6 year old has to go potty. We found a bathroom with a line a mile long, so we trek back to the room to go to the bathroom. We trek back to the event and find the rides(finally!). Thankfully the guest passes included a fast pass line because that’s the only reason we were able to get on any rides. So for about a thousand dollars, we got to eat cold food, stay in a dirty room and go on five rides before everything shut down. I understand that there’s a certain amount of waiting and inconvenience involved with an event that large, but we really felt like the parking situation was very unorganized and chaotic. A person on foot was even injured by a car waiting for the shuttle. The shortage of restrooms available near the activities made it difficult to enjoy the event as well. For as much as we paid to stay, I feel like everything should have been perfect. My grandparents would always stay at the Princess when they would come visit, and it was always amazing. I wanted to share that same experience with my family and it did not deliver the quality I have come to expect from the Princess. I really wish we could go back and do it over because I feel like they missed out this trip.

Ask East Coast Folks

Customer review rating 3.0/5

As a suggestion, make it a policy to ask east coast customer where they would like their room to face or automatically put them away from the gigantic beautiful Christmas festival because they tend to go to bed earlier due to the time difference. Every night, I wasn’t able to go to sleep until 10PM because of the 5-10pm Christmas show. This 10pm time would have been midnight on the east coast. Very tough sleeping

Comfortable hotel, but very noisy during Christmas special evenings.

Stayed there for an educational course related to our work and a bit of vacation. Was initially excited about the Christmas at the Princess. However, where our room was situated, we could hear music from three different areas, and it was loud. Every evening until after 10 pm! The light show at the lagoon was in front of our room, with the strobe lights shining into our room. Unfortunately the music associated with that show was not good music, and listening to it every night, for 7 nights, was a bad experience. The house keeping staff and servers at most of the restaurants (but not Toro) were very friendly and helpful. Overall I think it could be a great hotel outside of the Christmas season.
