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 ...
Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. Princess is our second preferred cruise line. Our cabin was one of the best ever, nice and roomy. Wish they still included the turn down service, chocolates, and towel animals. These are a nice special touch. Weakest link was FOOD and service in Symphony dining room. Wait staff was not attentive, slow the provide drinks and refills, orders were wrong. Breakfast ...
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 ...
Much needed break for the holiday.
Embarkation at Port Everglades was pretty smooth-20 minutes from Arrival to on the ship.
The Ruby had just been fixed up in dry dock. She looks good for a 2008 Grand girl.
It was really good to be back at sea. We used the Princess Plus package which was a nice option for trying drinks, I normally wouldn't have ordered. The package includes specialty ...
This was our 11th cruise, but our first cruise out of Galveston although we live less than 100 miles from Galveston. We originally scheduled a regular balcony cabin and bid to upgrade to a Reserve Class Mini-Suite. We also paid for Princess Plus to get the perks offered like drinks, Wi-Fi, and gratuities. We spent the night before the cruise in a local hotel, the Best Western Plus Seawall Inn & ...
We had sailed on the Ruby the previous October so we were in a position to make some comparisons on changes Princess have made.
First thing to say are that the staff are incredible. Everyone greets you with a beaming smile and treats you as if you are their only customer. Special mention to the two bartenders in Explorer lounge Val and Christian, Derek and the Phillipino trio in Vines, and ...
Was looking for a easy Caribbean get away that we could use casino offers on and landed on The Caribbean princess . We had sailed on the sky princess 5 months ago & loved it,.. this is not the sky. She's older but pretty well maintained.
Our embarkation was one of the fastest and smoothest we've ever had ..trying to find the parking garage was a different story.. but just read the signs ...
I'm Platinum with Princess and have cruised 30+ times with other cruise lines, so I overall love cruising. For this cruise, I would say the food was wonderful, the entertainment was hit-or-miss, but the biggest barrier that would keep me coming back to this ship was lack of AC in common areas (summertime Caribbean is no joke), and super long lines and wait times for EVERYTHING.
PROS:

My wife and I are experienced cruisers with more than 15 cruises with Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. I wanted to try a Premium cruise line and Costco had a good deal on this cruise which is a 14 day East/West Caribbean, so we went for it despite the mixed reviews. We are still on the ship starting the second week but I wanted to share my impressions.
We booked everything through ...
