My husband and I selected the Caribbean Princess 11/26-12/3 sailing for our honeymoon. He has never cruised before, this cruise was my fifth.
First I'll start out with the few negatives we experienced just to get them out of the way: The beds are incredibly uncomfortable. Request the egg crate mattress, you'll be glad you did. The coffee really is as bad as they claim. Cut it with hot water or decaf coffee. Trying to plan a cruise critic meet and greet with the Princess onshore staff and purser's desk is a waste of time. Don't even bother with them, they don't follow through with anything.
Three negatives. That was it. And they were all pretty minor considering the rest of the cruise, and the amazing time we had.
