Caribbean Princess Review

Additional details
This was my fourth cruise and first time sailing with Princess. I've previously sailed with Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Imperial Majesty. We are 30 years old and prefer a quieter crowd. This trip won because of the itinerary which is the single most important factor to us. Aside from a couple annoyances it was a wonderful vacation and I would change little about it.
Embarking - There was a line. We were prepared to wait. It took about an hour to get on the ship.
The ship is gorgeous. I loved the Piazza area with the performers. I did not see the frayed carpets some people have complained about. Maybe they had already been replaced or maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. Honestly though, I don't know why I was looking for flaws except to shake my head at the people complaining about them. Some people just can't go without complaining, which is a shame.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Spacious enough. It's a cruise ship so unless you pay for a suite - and sometimes not even then - you will be in a very small space. The bathroom was bigger than I expected and the balcony was huge. We adored our balcony. We spent hours out there and on the last day we even saw a water spout with a rainbow formed around it.
