As we boarded the Caribbean Princess for 2 weeks in San Juan on Feb. 06, we immediately felt at home.The thing that immediately strikes us is the Staff's ability to always warmly welcome us, smiling and respectful-even though just hours ago, they said good bye to over 3000 of last weeks (some quite nasty)vacationers. We quickly found our cabin, an outside cabin with balcony, Compact, but a perfect place to sleep and prepare for the fun ahead.

We had 2 glorious weeks --to some great ports including; St.Thomas, Virgin Gorda, Antigua, St. Lucia, Dominica, Grenada, Barbados, San Juan, Curacao, and Aruba. Only 2 sea days on this trip--exactly the itinerary we wanted!!We have been to all of these islands, so we chose to do our own thing in each island, rather than partake in the ship's Tours.

The food as always, was consistently good and plentiful, from the buffets to the Dining Rooms--we enjoyed it all.The Crown Grill is one of our favorite places to eat--A minimal cover charge for an exquisite meal with impeccable service. Sabatini's is also worth the cover charge, it's an evening of seemingly endless, delicious courses.Unfortunately, Princess is not immune to the ship-wide cutbacks happening across the cruise Industry, and it is beginning to be noticed in some of their food selections.
