"Talking of the back of the ship, according to the Princess website before we left, there was a barbeque restaurant and a seafood restaurant but when we got on the ship we found these were closed, probably permanently, and no one could tell us why.Now I realise that the cruise companies lost a lot of money while they couldn't operate, and they have to get that back somehow, but there will come a time when loyal customers will look elsewhere (perhaps at all inclusive hotels) if they feel they are no longer getting value for money...."Read More

1-10 of 313 Princess Caribbean Princess Cruise Reviews for Gourmet Food to the Southern Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We took our first cruise in 2009 and have done another 12 since then. Seven of them have been with Princess, and we would always recommend Princess to anyone who asked. Sadly, that isn't the case any more. We have done two Princess cruises since the pandemic ended, and on the previous cruise we were getting the impression that cutbacks had been made, however our views were coloured by the fact ...
It is hard to find a 14 night cruise that makes a circle in the Caribbean and doesn’t return to home port after 7 nights. This cruise has a good balance of sea days and port days. You have to pace yourself when choosing activities off the ship or you can wear out when you’re doing 6 or 7 ports back to back.
The food this trip was excellent in the main dining room. The entrees were tasty and ...
Someone below said 'beautiful ship." It may have been when launched, but she is very tired now. She does not come close to being as beautiful as several NCL ships we've sailed. I thought Princess would be a step up from NCL, but that was not the case at all onboard this vessel. I was disappointed in the food quality---particularly the Crown Grill, their specialty restaurant. The breakfast pastries ...
We had saved for this trip of a lifetime and it was shocking. We were told the boat had been deep cleaned and it was perfectly safe to travel as the norovirus was no longer an issue. This could have been no further from the truth. Within two days passengers were vomiting with diarrhoea. As you walked to your cabin you could smell both. People were very poorly and they tried to play it down my ...
Let me start off by commanding the crew who fought through adversity and came out shining. Kudos to all who worked on this voyage of so many things wrong.
We got into Ft. Lauderdale 3 days early to relax and do a little sightseeing - whoops - it rained most of the three days! But, we did have a great Valentine's dinner at the Old Heidelberg Inn close our Best Western hotel. The staff at this ...
We have cruised with princess for the past 10 years. They are absolutely consistent with 4 star service.
They are constantly upgrading and hands down they have the best entertainment from the big Vegas Style production shows to the single magic and comedy acts.
The cabin rooms are white glove clean and anything we ask for, is delivered promptly to our room.
The only shortcoming is some ...
We chose this cruise because we love the Caribbean islands. The stops were great, except Trinidad. We were there during Carnival and the streets were loud and violent - wouldn't choose that port again. Quick note about wipes, regular Clorox wipes won't kill Norovirus, but the hydorgen peroxide wipes do. We took a container on board and wiped our cabin a few times during the two weeks.
I can't ...
We were booked on a 14 day Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Caribbean Princess Feb 2, looking forward to a relaxing holiday visiting places we have never been to before. We flew to Fort Lauderdale from Victoria BC via Toronto. Due to an accident beneath the aircraft after the doors had been closed, we sat on the runway for 4 hours. As a result we arrived in Fort Lauderdale over an hour after the ...
We were looking forward to this cruise due to the itinerary. One of the ports of call was Trinidad which was where my father was born so there was a personal connection. WE were disappointed that this 14 day cruse was reduced to 11 days due to a virus that infected many of the passengers on the ship. We were disappointed in the need to return to port early (and only were able to visit 3 of the 8 ...
Short summary - My wife and I will cruise princess again, we have already started looking at options for late 2020. Cruising is quite different from the way we normally vacation, and that is okay. Cruising will not replace our long-haul flight jaunts but will add a much-needed supplement to our often exhausting vacations. We had an amazing time at our own pace.
