Caribbean Princess Review
Rating by category
Additional details
This cruise was a surprise birthday present for me! I had been complaining about how we couldn't afford a cruise this year (we had to buy a lovely roof instead…) and my wonderful parents stepped up and made it possible! My parents are chronic cruisers who go 5-6 times a year - sometimes more (this year they’ll do 10!). They are the ones responsible for getting my family addicted as well!
This cruise was selected with relaxation in mind. With three ports and four sea days, it's the perfect way to unwind and let someone else worry about making us happy - and did Princess pull through for us!
With kids left behind grumbling about not going, my husband and I had our first vacation alone together in 10 years. Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly. We had a balcony next to my parents and spent many hours reading and watching my favorite, mesmerizing reality show "Ocean Waves" on that balcony. I spent so many hours I received a nice sunburn sitting in the shade!
Cabin Review
Balcony
If you can get a balcony on deck 10, they are a little bigger! If the big smooshy comforter is too much (especially in the warmer climates) you can request a blanket. The new, bigger TV's are great, the on-demand selection is very good. They were still working out connectivity issues when we were there. Carpeting and bathroom was dated, but clean!

We took the water taxi to the Great Bay and spent time floating in beautiful Caribbean waters!
