This was our third cruise on the beautiful Caribbean Princess since her launching in 2004. At that time she was the largest of the Princess ships, with her 18 decks high! We were happy to get reacquainted with our friend award winning Executive Chef Antonio Cereda. We have known him since our first cruise on the Grand in 1998. He has been with Princess 28 years, and prepared banquets for many famous people such as Queen Elizabeth II and the late Princess of Wales, Diana. Needless to say, he made our cruise a delicious one! We also met Captain William Kent, Hotel General Manager Martin Bristow, Executive Housekeeper Francisco Leal and Maitre D' Jose Florencio.

The ship is just as sparkling as she was when new. She has been kept in excellent condition as reflected in the scores of the Vessel Sanitation Program by CDC (since the ship was launched, most inspections topped 100, at the last one she was 99 and Mr. Cereda is doing everything to get her to the top again). Great going, Antonio!
