The Caribbean Princess is not the prettiest girl at the dance anymore. She is looking tired and worn and is need of a face lift. Staterooms very dated and the bathrooms seemed small compared to other Princess ships. The crew was great, friendly, and helpful. The food was inconsistent - one night great, the next awful. The chef must have taken Thursday night off...the food that night was not good at all. The buffet had little variation from day to day. My only complaint with the staff...enforce the no smoking rules throughout the ship. Too much smoking happening in the cabins and on balconies. The comedian gave a great show. The southern Caribbean is not the most exciting place to cruise. Not much happening in the ABC islands. Maybe we have been on too many cruises to appreciate the uniqueness of those three islands. Four days at sea may be a bit much for some newbie cruisers, but we liked those four lazy days at sea. It was a pleasurable and relaxing 8 days. I would have given the cruise at least a 4 but could not due to the dilapidated rooms and other ship venues. This old ship is slated for her face lift in the spring of 2017 according to the crew on board.
