Amazing itinerary, Old ship with some issues

We have always booked exclusively for itinerary and not the ship, but now we are going to change that to both. The itinerary was Princess Cays, St. Thomas, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Guadeloupe, and Antigua. Antigua was such a pleasant surprise and it really stole the show for us! Such a breathtakingly beautiful island with super friendly locals. We took an excursion ...

My wife and I, who are long term Princess cruisers chose the Caribbean Princess because it was the perfect time to sail, right after Christmas and through New Year. We have been to the Caribbean several times before so we were not really concerned about the itinerary just a warm place to go. We did rent a cabana on Princess Cays which was really nice with A/C and excellent food. Sadly, it was ...

Disappointed

We chose this cruise to celebrate a wedding anniversary and for the first time in over 50 years, celebrate Christmas at sea. We chose the CP because we'd been on this ship many years ago, and remembered it with great fondness. Sadly, the old girl is showing her age in many ways... CABINS: the cabins need to be updated, the bland colours and furnishings are aged and any repairs have been ...

Overall: We recently came back from a 10-night Eastern Caribbean cruise over the Christmas holidays aboard the Caribbean Princess. We feel that Princess continues to offer a good cruise value, especially compared to some competing “premium” cruise lines, in most respects. The service (especially dining room and bar/lounge) remains generally excellent, along with the value of the Plus package, the ...

We took our first cruise in 2009 and have done another 12 since then. Seven of them have been with Princess, and we would always recommend Princess to anyone who asked. Sadly, that isn't the case any more. We have done two Princess cruises since the pandemic ended, and on the previous cruise we were getting the impression that cutbacks had been made, however our views were coloured by the fact ...

Someone below said 'beautiful ship." It may have been when launched, but she is very tired now. She does not come close to being as beautiful as several NCL ships we've sailed. I thought Princess would be a step up from NCL, but that was not the case at all onboard this vessel. I was disappointed in the food quality---particularly the Crown Grill, their specialty restaurant. The breakfast pastries ...

14 Night Circle the Caribbean Long and Relaxing

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

It is hard to find a 14 night cruise that makes a circle in the Caribbean and doesn’t return to home port after 7 nights. This cruise has a good balance of sea days and port days. You have to pace yourself when choosing activities off the ship or you can wear out when you’re doing 6 or 7 ports back to back. The food this trip was excellent in the main dining room. The entrees were tasty and ...

Pros & Cons

Pros first - great entertainment on board on all nights. Possibly the best service I have received on a cruise - from bar waiters, to dining room staff, to room steward - nothing but superlatives. Cons - For a ship just out of drydock the condition of the room was poor. Bathroom floor tile were cracked, grout was cracked and shower drain was caulked in. This ship was an 18 day cruise, with ...

All new ports and new lock canal transit for us. Ship's first cruise since a three week dry dock. Not sure what work was performed but ship had some issues. I think CP was built in 2004. The first thing we noticed was all the windows on the Lido deck were so filthy dirty you could barely see thru them and the window in our restricted view cabin on Emerald deck 8 cabin E308 also dirty. One morning ...

Where do I begin? Their package was all-inclusive as described however, included were the 15 drinks/day which didn’t rollover if you never made it to the 15 mark., unlimited intermittent WIFI per 1 device only., a specialty dining inclusion, (I’m pretty sure you had to pay for Sabatini’s Italian restaurant as well as pay a Room service delivery charge if ordered from app or in the stateroom ...
