Just back from my second Princess cruise. This was the Caribbean Princess August 6th - 15th sailing and I'm still feeling totally delirious and ecstatic. We were 11 people on this cruise, family and friends.

The Ship ~ Loved it!!! I am so impressed! It was so beautiful, so clean and well laid-out. We were on the Crown last year and we knew we had to navigate up and down staircases to get around the mid dining areas. The water bubble in the atrium elevators was cool! I didn't find the ship to be crowded even though it was a sold-out sailing.

Cabin ~ We were in cabin E 509 (obstructed view) with a lifeboat semi blocking our ocean view. It was a nice upgrade from an inside cabin. The huge window let in the sunlight and we able to see over the orange lifeboat. It was cool to see that these lifeboat do drills and you can see them floating around in the sea. You can call room to room by dialing the deck # then the room # (ex. 8509 for my room). We brought our own shampoo and Princess provided toiletries from the Lotus Spa (my DD said it smelled manly). The mini-fridge stored our drinks. The television had a variety of movie, Art, Port Info, Good Morning TV with Dan & Sam and CNN. The air condition was set on the coolest setting and it worked fine. Princess offers you choice fruits in your cabin and a continental breakfast menu to place on the door the night before. Our cabin was clean by Ben and he was very accommodating to our needs. Read more
