Leaving from Southampton on July 8th, we specifically chose this cruise for its unique itinerary around the British Isles. We were not disappointed as we enjoyed every stop. The first eight days of the cruise were port-intensive with a stop daily before our first sea day. We thoroughly enjoyed the ship's excursions, opting to travel into the countryside rather than spending too much time in the port cities.

We had a great time and we do not regret for an instant selecting this cruise. However, we were disappointed with the Caribbean Princess.

First, the positives- the staff and crew were excellent. Service was outstanding whether it was the cabin steward, the waiters, cruise directors and excursion personnel. Everyone greeted us with a smile and we appreciated their extra efforts on our behalf. In terms of dining, the food, for the most part, was good. Not gourmet by any means but there were many options and generally, we were pleased. We ate in the Palm (traditional dining, late sitting)and enjoyed our nightly meals. Read more
