1-10 of 369 Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Princess Caribbean Princess Cruise Reviews
We chose this cruise based on a great casino offer. We had sailed on her in 2008 and 2009 when she was fresh and nearly new. Today the ship is in fairly decent shape. Worn areas show in the elevators, and some of the common areas. The crew in general were outstanding! Nice positive vibe from the people who make this party barge go!
Princess really had their act together on embarkation, ...
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 have always booked exclusively for itinerary and not the ship, but now we are going to change that to both. The itinerary was Princess Cays, St. Thomas, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Guadeloupe, and Antigua.
Antigua was such a pleasant surprise and it really stole the show for us! Such a breathtakingly beautiful island with super friendly locals. We took an excursion ...
Overall: We recently came back from a 10-night Eastern Caribbean cruise over the Christmas holidays aboard the Caribbean Princess. We feel that Princess continues to offer a good cruise value, especially compared to some competing “premium” cruise lines, in most respects. The service (especially dining room and bar/lounge) remains generally excellent, along with the value of the Plus package, the ...
I cruise solely with Princess, and this is my 5th time on the Caribbean Princess, first time in 2005. I know this ship and the brand. If I don’t say this enough- the crew is the #1 reason to sail with Princess.
Embarkment: When you arrive at Port Everglades be prepared to see a line. It move quickly.
Tip: Get the medallion in the mail, wear it to the embarkment, and ask where the green ...
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 ...

Boarding was quick and easy with my Medallion.
Bought wi-fi on ship, was decent and easy to switch between devices.
DID the Cruise Critic Meet & Mingle, Cruise director an a lot of the officers were there. Thanks Barb ...
We booked this cruise to pick up a couple of ports we had not previously visited, including Norfolk, Virginia, and Newport, Rhode Island.
The cruise was smooth, although there was a slight vibration in some parts of the ship, including in our cabin. Not enough of a vibration to bother us.
Issues:
1. The ship was late in arriving at Ft. Lauderdale (high winds in the DR, the previous ...
First cruise on Princess, normally cruise on Norwegian. Princess had good food (steak and lobster one night), serve smaller portions so you can try more things and the comedians on board were really good. Live shows tended to be geared to an older crowd. Ship itself was good and easy to navigate except for which way to go below deck (Norwegian has fish on the carpet swimming towards the front). ...
Was looking for a easy Caribbean get away that we could use casino offers on and landed on The Caribbean princess . We had sailed on the sky princess 5 months ago & loved it,.. this is not the sky. She's older but pretty well maintained.
Our embarkation was one of the fastest and smoothest we've ever had ..trying to find the parking garage was a different story.. but just read the signs ...
