1st Post-pandemic cruise: Great though food & service are not what they once were

My husband and I have been cruising about once a year since our honeymoon over 40 years ago. Princess is one of our favorite cruise lines. We’d been on six Princess cruises before this one, including two on the CB (Southern Caribbean in 2013 and British Isles in 2017). We obviously love cruising, and our mindset is to enjoy the many positive aspects of cruising and not let the glitches ruin things ...

This 10 day Panama Canal cruise was our 59th Princess cruise. Although we have also sailed on two other cruise lines, we keep coming back to Princess. The Caribbean Princes is 20 years old. but well maintained and clean. There always workers wiping painting, and sweeping to keep it that way. The only negative item due to age is only one dual electrical outlet in your main portion of your cabin and ...

We recently returned from the 10 night Panama Canal cruise on the Caribbean Princess leaving from and returning to Fort Lauderdale. After reading some of the prior reviews, I was initially wary about going on this ship. I am writing this review to let people know about our terrific experience. The cruise couldn't have gone better. The ship and the cabin were kept very clean. The food was ...

Been a while since going on a cruise, first solo cruise in my 67 years and it was better than expected with a bump or two. Panama canal is an amazing feat of large scale engineering. Food is very good, entertainment was the best I have had in maybe 20 cruises in my life. Singing and dancing isn't my favorite but the production numbers I really enjoyed. Lots of corny events on at sea days, from ...

Great Panama Canal experience! The Caribbean Princess is an older ship with great upgrades and a fantastic crew! The Cruise Director was unbelievable and was a huge asset to the fun on the cruise. The waitstaff in the dining rooms were great and worked together to make your ding experience a great one! The ships decor was terrific and the flow of the activity decks seemed you were on a much ...

Totally satisfied with the entire cruise experience! All the Princess Cruise people were so helpful, bent over backwards to help you. Food was excellent, service was excellent! Saw some reviews that the Caribbean Princess was dated. I did not, enjoyed the art, especially deck 6 entry to the theater. Do go at least 30 minutes prior to the events. I would highly recommend the Caribbean Princess, ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

I have never been on a cruise before and I came in with little to no expectations and a positive attitude. At first I was overwhelmed with amount of action going on and the small rooms, food etc. But after the initial first day, which was stressful because of flying and nothing with the Princess cruise line, everything worked out. Sure, we did not go on one of our port stops due to weather, but ...

This was an excellent cruise. The ship was very comfortable, had excellent food and service, and had wonderful entertainment. We stayed on the ship through the locks returning from Gatun Lake to the Caribbean Sea. Fascinating to watch how the lock opens and closes. We were able to get to the viewing area in the very front of the ship, above the bridge! On deck 15, go all the way forward ...

We were excited to view the new locks, which were made for the larger ships. We first went to listen to the excellent lector in the Princess theater, who told us the history of the building of the canal. It was extremely informative and prepared us to better understand what we would be seeing. We had originally booked a mini-suite, and the perks included were additional credits to spend on the ...

Interested in the Panama Canal primarily but the whole itinerary was very appealing. We explored our departure city (Fort Lauderdale) before the cruise (1 night). Embarkation and disembarking was a breeze - so well organized, easy and quick. Ship has been refurbished so looked new. Cabins were typical sizes and there were good dining options on the ship. The entertainment was phenomenal both at ...
