We chose this cruise because my husband is a scuba diver and we heard that Grand Turk was an amazing spot to dive. But there are limited cruise lines that sail to Grand Turk and we wanted a more upscale experience than what we'd heard Carnival offers. There was not a dive excursion offered through Princess, so we booked our own. That was all well and good, it worked out just fine.

Caribbean Princess – Oct. 31-Nov 5, 2023 Caribbean Sampler
This trip began with a drive to Boca Raton and a night at the Holiday Inn Express Boca Raton West. The hotel was a quick walk from the Greenwise Market where there are lots of dinner choices and a pub room with beers and wines on tap. After dinner we sat at the lovely pool and relaxed.
In the morning we drove 45 minutes to the ...
Too many issues starting with:
Cabin set up for 2 singles vs the double we booked--had to get steward to rectify.
No fruit or champagne waiting in room upon arrival--steward brought 2 glasses 3 hours after we got in our cabin!!!
Medallion app messed up some of our dining reservations.
Older ship with far fewer amenities vs. what is provided on there 3 newest ships (e.g. lack casual ...
I decided it was time to try another line after being disappointed on the last couple of cruises on NCL and RCCL. My DW had been on one Princess and other friends have been complimentary of the line in the past.
Overall I was very pleased with the cruise. Were there things that could be better- yes. There were more things that I liked than disliked and Princess will definitely be in the picture ...
Currently nearing the end of our cruise on the Caribbean. Had to state that the new upgraded internet with Hughes satellite was the best we’ve experienced in all our years of cruising. It worked seamlessly and allowed us to do whatever we wanted. Also a tip of the hat to Princess on their use of technology onboard. The medallion system for us, worked beautifully. We have a window suite which is ...
Overall the cruise was very good. ship is dated and could use a facelift…our balcony cabin was fine but with some glitches..had to call guest services right away to fix air conditioning which wasn’t working well. The safe had issues with keypad sticking.. had to call twice for assistance. Balcony was not great and furniture was old one chair even had a big paint splotch on it.
First two nights ...
Chose this cruise because we wanted to see Fall Colors in Canada/New England and had had favorable experiences on Princess in the past.
However, this is an OLD ship (2004 refurbished 2019) and shows its age as well as lack of modern amenities. Although we didn't pay the most for our oceanview cabin we did not expect it to have bunk beds which protruded from the wall on either side of the queen ...
We had booked this cruise hoping to see fall colors but much of the trees had not yet turned. We booked an overnight stay in Montreal with Princess before embarking on the cruise. Montreal accommodations were nice but the transfer process was lacking. The busses picked us up so late that we didn’t reach the ship until 4:00 pm which caused us to miss out on several hours in Quebec City. The ...
We just returned from a cruise on the Caribbean Princes.
We departed Quebec City and ended in NY.
Overall, the cruise was very disappointing.
Pre-covid we had traveled on two cruises with Princes.
These were much better and based on these experiences we booked the cruise in late Sept. of this year.
The difference is noticeable.
The cruise lines took on huge new debt during the ...
I will start out with we are not hard to please. Fifteen cruises in, all different lines and our age probably has something to do with that.
Our cabin on Caribe deck and balcony were fine. Once the toilet didn't work and someone was there immediately to fix it.
Our cabin stew and all the crew were so very pleasant and helpful and they were all so very personable.
Our ports and time in ...
