I wanted to review Princess in general, but I will also review this ship in particular. The past two cruises we have been on were the Caribbean and the Grand Princess ships. They are both almost identical ships. The one bonus with the Caribbean though is that they still have the skywalkers lounge in the back. It is an awesome lounge!

Princess Cons in general

Over the past 2 cruises in 2012 and 2013, I have realized that Princess does not do the little extras that other ships do. For example, there are no folded towel animals in your room, there are no singing shows in the main dining rooms, there are no drinks available in the buffet other than tea, water, and coffee. Lemonade if you ask, but everything else costs money. The ships that we were on also felt a bit congested. The Atrium in the middle was pretty small compared to most other ships I have been on (Royal Carib, Carnival). Which is ok if you like the cozier feel of ships, but we spent 90% of our time on the top deck, main dining room, buffet, or on our balcony. Read more
