Report Card for the Caribbean Princess - Eastern Caribbean Cruise, June 2022
"If Princess is going to rely so heavily on a digital application they must ensure the digital backbone on the ship can handle 3,000 people all trying to order sandwiches at one time.The lack of a live orchestra for production shows; main dining rooms that were so understaffed we saw the Director of Restaurant Operations bussing tables on several occasions; bars that no longer had physical menus; the train wreck that was anytime dining; and food that had all the ear marks of being frozen and simply warmed up in the kitchen; all seemed to be tied to financial concerns and not enhancing the passenger experience...."Read More

Not the princess I sailed on 6 years ago. Had a reserve suite and the only Benefit was the dining room where the food and staff were fantastic. As for the rest forget about it. No such thing as priority boarding. Same line for everyone. Forget the sanctuary. Went right to it and was told it sold out in minutes. Also had Premier package. Priority reservations for specialty restaurants is not a ...

This was a family trip that I was told I would attend. I only ever went on a cruise one other time(carnival) really didn't like that one as I felt it was for much younger folks than myself. This cruise was a little different. I liked most of the shows and on board entertainment. The food was ok, only used the buffet so rarely had actually hot food. The cabin I was in was pretty small. It was okay ...

Had to skip two out of four ports due to dangerous winds in the area. Oh well! We took this cruise mainly to enjoy the ship as we have seen most of the Caribbean islands in the past. And we did have a good time, considering. Embarkation was smooth and we were in the buffet to start the overeating tour once again. This was our 26th. cruise and we feel we know the ropes. We have sailed ...

This was my 19th cruise. It all began with plumbing problems on my 2022 cruise on Island Princess. I had received a good will discount that had to be applied within a year. I decided to book a 14 night B2B cruise (from 1/28 - 2/11/2024) on this ship because I liked the itinerary and the ports would be new for me. This review is about the second week. Ship: • Given that the Caribbean ...

We chose this cruise to celebrate a wedding anniversary and for the first time in over 50 years, celebrate Christmas at sea. We chose the CP because we'd been on this ship many years ago, and remembered it with great fondness. Sadly, the old girl is showing her age in many ways... CABINS: the cabins need to be updated, the bland colours and furnishings are aged and any repairs have been ...

The good: - Our room was ready when we got on the ship. - The food was excellent. The beef tenderloin was truly the best we have had on any ship. - We had anytime dining and arrived between 5:15 - 5:30 p.m. The maximum we had to wait was 10 minutes for a table. - Puerto Rico was one of our ports and we loved it. We did the Princess walking tour. Our guide used a microphone and we ...

The entertainment was good with a variety. Not lot of options for the mid aged crowd unless you wanted to go to the sky club at 11p. Food was average, I was not used to having to book each dinner meal ahead of time so ended up dining late when there was a free table. Princess Cays was beautiful! The medallions were convenient with hands free door unlock. There were many frequent sailors on this ...

Summary: Great Service. Shabby Ship. Mediocre Food. Awful "Premium" Desserts. "Casual Dining" impossible to get. We went on this cruise as part of a group of about 180 adults. 14th cruise overall. First cruise on Princess. Our package came with a mini-suite and the Princess Plus Package upgrade with unlimited beverages, pre-paid gratuities, and WiFi (but just the OLD version, before ...
