This was our first cruise with Princess, and my husband and I had a much better time than we had expected. We thought we might be bored on the two sea days, but found that those were some of our favorites!

The Pros:

The food was pretty good. We ate in Sabatini's for breakfast, the main dining room for dinner, and lunch in a variety of places: poolside, the Horizon Court buffet, and the Coral dining room. Our least favorite was the buffet, but that is entirely personal preference, since neither of us enjoy the buffet experience in general. Other people in our party frequently ate in the buffet and enjoyed it.

Cabin Review

Our suite was wonderful. I had read complaints that the balcony was not large enough, but we thought it was great and at one point had 6 people on it comfortably. I would definitely book a suite again. The only two negatives were the door width and the noise from the deck above. My husband is in a manual wheelchair, and I had to partially break it down to fit it through the door. (I was aware that this was a possibility before the trip, so this is less of a complaint and more of sharing information. Caribbean Princess does not have an accessible suite with a balcony, so this was a concession we made to have a suite with balcony.)I had read that this room had noise from the public deck above, and for the first 4 nights we had no problems at all. However, on the 5th day, children on the ship apparently discovered the ping pong table. There was loud pounding and running above us until after 2 in the morning that made sleep almost impossible. The last two nights the pounding/running stopped at midnight, so that was ok. I probably wouldn't book a suite again under a public floor when school is not in session. :)
