Please enter your review.I have been on 8 previous cruises and this my 9th on Caribbean Princess. I have 5 on Royal and 3 on Carnival. My husband and 31 year old daughter were with me. We were anxious to try anytime dinning option and different cruise line. Embarkation was very easy and were on ship in about 30 minutes from parking to room. This and debarkation were probably the best thing about the cruise. I love to cruise because you feel so pampered. I felt nothing like this on this cruise. The dining staff were not one bit friendly Never told us there names or asked ours. It was like hurry you in and then out. The staff on the whole ship was unfriendly. There were a couple down right rude staff. I thought the ship was nothing special to look at. Had to theme and no where pretty to take pictures. You had to flag down a drink waiter to get a drink. Dishes piled up on the ends of our table in the buffet before anyone would pick them up. I was very disappointed with the food. I never missed a sit down dinner on Royal. From the appetizers to desserts couldn't make up my mind. Here I could find anything I wanted so nights so we went to buffet. That is my favorite part of the cruise, the sit down dinners. Not here. The soups were tasteless. Royals are wonderful. This was the most expensive cruise I have been on and didn't feel I got my moneys worth out of this staff. They can think they are a step above Royal, but I beg to differ They have a long way to go to come close to Royal. As far as the entertainment, Sarge the comedian, was great The production shows sucked When Simon Cowell on American Idol tells people they sound like cruise ship singers, I now know what me means. Actually some of those singers were better than the four main singers on ship. The dancers were very good, but the singers ruined the show. Also a mentalist, illusionist was on and he was very good also Same statement about size of theater as everyone else says. Way to small for ship Cant accommodate half the ship at one show.

As far as ports they are great Always are. Grand Turk is pretty but nothing there but Margaritaville. It was beautiful. Bermuda was also very pretty. I will say I have never been on a cruise a did not enjoy, but the staff, entertainment and food on the ship were not up to my standards. I don't go on a cruise to eat dinners in a buffet ,but that is what it came down to. Then on six day of cruise they told up they ran out of watermelon and it suddenly appeared on 8th day. They ran out of pineapple, and of all things 7th day ran out of ketchup. Then they tried to push this homemade stuff on us that was awful. We come from the city that makes the best ketchup in the world Heinz in Pittsburgh, PA How do you run out of ketchup. They also had salsa in the evening snack buffet everynight and they ran out of nacho chips and tried to push potato chips on you. Very disappointing food service department. I love cruising and already have another planned and will NEVER go with Princess again.
