Additional details
We enjoyed the cruise. The food, service and entertainment on board Caribbean Princess ranged from adequate to excellent.
Embarkation and disembarkation were really slick and the cruise itself had an interesting itinerary.
We were too early for the best of the Fall colours but 'c'est la vie'
