Very Nice Boat and Experience
"Club Class allowed for us to board early, have a larger cabin and access to a private section of the dining room, where we received very personalized and gracious service.They stopped the boat, rendered aid, took the refugees onboard and rendezvoused with the US Coast Guard to get the refugees to safety...."Read More

Let me just start by saying…. My first cruise experience was Carnival. I never went back due to the Loud, party, chaotic atmosphere that some may enjoy but was not my pleasure. Safety and security on and off the boat is a joke. Tender cards are not monitored. First come first serve. We got kicked from our tender boat as other just hopped on when they wanted to go ashore. We waited 1.5hrs to ...

Service was sub-par compared to other cruise lines. Reservations are required for dining room & impossible to get. Waiting in line for meals is the norm. You don't have a set seating time, table, or server.so meals are anonymous. Cabibs were VERY small not well cleaned. Mold in showe, shower gel and shampoo, and toilet not cleaned once the entire week.Room service is SLOW; 90 minutes minimum ...

My wife and I chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary -- we had never been to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, or Cozumel -- and the timing, which fitted our schedule. (We forgot it was March break, our kids being long grown up). We had done one cruise on Princess years ago, and two each on Norwegian and Royal Caribbean since. Princess seems at least as good as Royal Caribbean, and better than Norwegian, ...

We all know how bad COVID has affect tourism. But Princess has really set their standard to a low point. Princess talks about loyalty but shows none to his Platinum or Elite members. They seem to be nickel & dimeing us. Their so called packages aren't suitable for everyone. They took away our earned free Internet minutes & dropped the coffee card. What's next - will they take away our free ...

Overall rating - around 3.5 / 5 This was my 18th 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. Ship: Given that the Caribbean Princess ...

We’ve had 18 cruises mostly with Celebrity. We booked Princess for the itinerary and as we were travelling with friends ( there first time) we decided on Caribbean Princess. Did not look at the age of the ship nor read reviews. We’ve always had great holidays with Celebrity (now we use the saying NOT-to fix something that wasn’t broken).. and Celebrity were coming home… NEVER USE PRINCESS ...

I’ve sailed this vessel a few times and always been happy. I’m allergic to gluten, Celiac disease, and until this cruise they always accomadted well. The most recent selection of gluten free items was quite limited and staff was poorly trained in dealing with food allergies. I’m going again in May and hope to see some improvement. A great ship other than this issue. I did notice that the pool was ...

I booked a cruise for my wife and I, it was our first vacation in three years and I was looking forward to relaxing. We’ve been hit with a myriad of issues in just a few days so far. First - it’s impossible to get a seat at a restaurant. Customer service told my wife that our app had an error which made it so that we couldn’t book reservations so now we are stuck going to the buffet for every ...

We had heard numerous concerns - engine issues, ac not working in staterooms and common areas - prior to our departure. While we were concerned we hoped all would be well once boarded. The positive: We sailed with our 2 teens and had 2 aft penthouse suites. Rooms were very clean and comfortable, albeit dated. The main dining room was solid fare ( Crown Grill is lackluster with horrible service and ...

I just got back from Caribbean Princess cruise. first issue, someone had a medical emergency so ship had to turn back to Ft Lauderdale to meet a helicopter. We then had Grand caymen as a destination cancelled. No Reconciliation, no nothing. second issue, the cabin is really dated. The AC in the cabin and we had a balcony was horrendous. We woke up all throughout the night because it was too ...
