What I loved about this cruise was that almost everybody on the ship were 55 or older. No kids and families took this two-week cruise in December. The weather was great. The ship atmosphere was relaxed. Our staff were friendly and attentive. I engaged with most people I came in contact with, asking them how many cruises they have been on, and of course where are they from. (Most everybody ...

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 ...
Caribbean Princess – Oct. 31-Nov 5, 2023 Caribbean Sampler
This trip began with a drive to Boca Raton and a night at the Holiday Inn Express Boca Raton West. The hotel was a quick walk from the Greenwise Market where there are lots of dinner choices and a pub room with beers and wines on tap. After dinner we sat at the lovely pool and relaxed.
In the morning we drove 45 minutes to the ...
Just got home from this cruise. I have to say it was perfect. No complaints. Embarkation was crazy, but nothing Princess could have done about that. They were 2 hrs late getting into Ft Lauderdale and then had a surprise full Coast Guard inspection dropped on them at the last minute. There was a definite lack of communication about the delay. Some people got emails and let the Facebook ...
We choose Princess because it's the Love Boat and we both grew up watching the show. We wanted that same luxurious experience to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Being on the cruise on our actual anniversary was desired and we wanted to go somewhere warm that we could fit into a vacation less than 10 days with travel time. So Caribbean Princess it was for a 7 day Eastern Caribbean ...
We chose this cruise by date only, as we were celebrating my 60th birthday. We are most loyal to Princess with the caveat that cruising has changed since the pandemic started.
Embarkation was mostly quick and easy. We were blue lane, but it was short--we were second in line. The rep didn't seem too familiar with the program and struggled to enter the information in the system (it was literally ...
This was our 18th Princess cruise, our last one being on Regal five years ago. We traveled in a Club Class mini-suite on deck 14. Here are some brief observations:
1. Embarkation in Ft. Lauderdale: Easy-peasy. We drove to the port, dropped off our luggage at curbside, parked in the Heron garage, and were checked in without any trouble at all. Using the Medallion along with facial ...
We are just home from 7 nights on the beautiful Sky Princess. I won’t review the stops and will focus mainly on the ship.
Overall ship- beautiful ship inside and out. The piazza is quite stunning and very bling. I think the only area that could “look” a bit better would be the main pool deck as it’s very standard and I know from experience pool decks are way nicer on royal, regal, ruby but ...
Princess is really getting things right on this cruise. We loved everything. Especially the Medallion which unlocks and locks your room and order takers can see who you are and all your info when you order. Payed extre for the Enclave. They have 2 steam rooms, sauna, heated lounges, spa, mist showers, etc. Usually the steam rooms aren't hot enough but these were perfect--between 104-122 ...
I had a credit due to Princess canceling our cruise from Sydney to Auckland which was going to expire so I decided to use it for this sailing. I was excited to see L1** was available and even more so when I saw there was no single supplement. The description of this cabin, located all the way forward and in the corner, is slightly misleading, and therefore it seems to discourage people from ...
