Princess Caribbean Princess Cruise Reviews

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 ...

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 ...

The overwhelming impression of this cruise is that the Caribbean Princess is an old tired ship. This was my first Princess cruise and I was disappointed to find that, unlike Celebrity, Princess does not fully refurbish its ships. Instead it focuses on tech (Princess Medallion) which feels like a gimmick. Most of the spaces look about 15-20 years old with dents, peeling wallpaper, and just old ...

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 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. The real ...

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 ...

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 ...
