Caribbean Princess Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We booked this cruise 1 year before sailing (August 2009) and really lucked out with the weather. It was sunny to partly cloudy the entire week and the temperature was quite comfortable for August. I have been on several cruises, but the rest of my family had never been on a cruise before. Overall, we all had a wonderful, enjoyable time and would definitely sail with Princess again.
We chose this cruise over Celebrity due to the extra port of call. Celebrity left on Sunday from Bayonne, NJ, but had only 4 ports of call and 2 days at sea. The Caribbean Princess had the following ports of call:
Saturday - Depart Brooklyn Cruise Terminal (NY) at 5:00 PM Sunday - Newport, Rhode Island (Tender) Monday - Boston, Mass. Tuesday - Bar Harbor , Maine (Tender) Wednesday - Saint John, New Brunswick Thursday - Halifax, Nova Scotia Friday - At Sea Saturday - Return to NYC at 7:00 AM
Cabin Review
Balcony
Caribbean Princess - Caribe Deck (Deck 10 - BA Category - Oceanview with Balcony) Stateroom C419 - Stateroom was larger than I expected. Bathroom was ample with good closet space directly outside the bathroom. The balcony was probably one of the largest on the ship and had four chairs and a table. I really enjoyed the stateroom.
