I cruise solely with Princess, and this is my 5th time on the Caribbean Princess, first time in 2005. I know this ship and the brand. If I don’t say this enough- the crew is the #1 reason to sail with Princess.
Embarkment: When you arrive at Port Everglades be prepared to see a line. It move quickly.
Tip: Get the medallion in the mail, wear it to the embarkment, and ask where the green ...
Our 8th cruise with Princess, based mostly on itinerary. The Enchanted Princess is identical to the Regal Princess and consequently shares the same pluses and minuses of her sister ship.
The ship is in fine shape and well-maintained. The cabins are likewise clean and well-maintained. The cabins all have the annoying motion light near the bathroom door that goes on whenever you pass by it. ...
I’ve sailed this vessel a few times and always been happy. I’m allergic to gluten, Celiac disease, and until this cruise they always accomadted well. The most recent selection of gluten free items was quite limited and staff was poorly trained in dealing with food allergies. I’m going again in May and hope to see some improvement. A great ship other than this issue. I did notice that the pool was ...
Review
Background: Mid 40’s couple and we took this cruise without our children. First trip with Princess, but have cruised with RC and Disney before this. We enjoy cruising for the adventure, the drinks and entertainment, and because we love being in the sun near water.
Embarkation
This was really a breeze for us, though I can see where others may have a completely different view than ...
The entertainment was good with a variety. Not lot of options for the mid aged crowd unless you wanted to go to the sky club at 11p. Food was average, I was not used to having to book each dinner meal ahead of time so ended up dining late when there was a free table. Princess Cays was beautiful! The medallions were convenient with hands free door unlock. There were many frequent sailors on this ...
We wanted to go to the Caribbean and I found a pretty good price on an obstructed balcony on Sky Princess leaving Fort Lauderdale on Nov 25th. Never been on Princess before; we've done Royal, Carnival, Holland, Norwegian. We wanted to relax but also see something we hadn't before (San Juan). We booked flights and a hotel to stay the day before the cruise.
There were 7 ships in port ...
Summary: Great Service. Shabby Ship. Mediocre Food. Awful "Premium" Desserts. "Casual Dining" impossible to get.
We went on this cruise as part of a group of about 180 adults. 14th cruise overall. First cruise on Princess.
Our package came with a mini-suite and the Princess Plus Package upgrade with unlimited beverages, pre-paid gratuities, and WiFi (but just the OLD version, before ...
The overwhelming impression of this cruise is that the Caribbean Princess is an old tired ship. This was my first Princess cruise and I was disappointed to find that, unlike Celebrity, Princess does not fully refurbish its ships. Instead it focuses on tech (Princess Medallion) which feels like a gimmick. Most of the spaces look about 15-20 years old with dents, peeling wallpaper, and just old ...
I booked a cruise for my wife and I, it was our first vacation in three years and I was looking forward to relaxing.
We’ve been hit with a myriad of issues in just a few days so far. First - it’s impossible to get a seat at a restaurant. Customer service told my wife that our app had an error which made it so that we couldn’t book reservations so now we are stuck going to the buffet for every ...
We chose this cruise because my husband is a scuba diver and we heard that Grand Turk was an amazing spot to dive. But there are limited cruise lines that sail to Grand Turk and we wanted a more upscale experience than what we'd heard Carnival offers. There was not a dive excursion offered through Princess, so we booked our own. That was all well and good, it worked out just fine.
The real ...
