This will be a fairly lengthy review. We are in our mid-60s, experienced travellers, not part of the "wrinklies" yet, enjoy good time, meeting new people, moderate drinkers.
We left Toronto on a direct fight to San Juan on West Jet. Allowed 50 lbs checked baggage and two carry on per person @ max of 22 lbs per bag per person: total 94 lbs each; best deal yet! Good seats,no meals provided, only ...
Hello! I really hope this review is helpful! I'm C a 29 yo and I took this a 14 day cruise with my HUSBAND : ) M who is 30 yo.
Past Cruising experience;
We had previously been on 2 cruises together on Carnival. Mainly because they were in budget, and we flat out didn't know better. WE had done a 7 day eastern caribbean and a 7 day western caribbean with them. Our last cruise with them was ...
Princess cruise b2b 02/26-03/11
First we are multiple princess cruisers, 60+ from chicago and we booked a back to back southern cruise out of San Juan leaving on 2/26. The flight from Chicago had mechanical difficulties and was 2 hours late, (thank you AA) No problem we arrived at about 5pm and being elite passengers quickly checked in. We made to our cabin B601 on deck 11 a great cabin. We met ...
Booked a 14 day cruise in a gty mini suite expecting the worst mini suite on the ship. 4 days before the sailing, we were given room #L107 which is the Cancun Suite. We couldn't believe our luck and even though about buying a lottery ticket.
I googled the room and found several complaints including noise and vibration from the gym which is located above the bedroom as well as the private ...
Having sailed most of the mainstream cruise lines, this was our first Princess cruise. We pick our cruises by itinerary so we have no distinct loyalty to any one cruise line. Princess had been "hyped" to us before as being the best so my expectations were high, although we had a good time, I was somewhat disappointed. While I do believe that on any cruise line, the shorter Caribbean cruises (maybe ...
I have learned so much on the CC site I thought I would try to give back by posting a thread about our recent cruise on the Caribbean Princess. I am going to try to keep it in perspective of the first time cruiser and leave out some the gory details about each port and excursion. A little about us -- we are both right at 40 years old. We have been married for 7 years, no kids, live near Madison WI ...
Three friends and I recently did the 7-day Classic Southern Caribbean aboard the Caribbean Princess.
Ship Info: The ship itself was always kept sparkling clean. Despite others comments on the ship showing its age, if you're not microscopically analyzing things, there were no issues. Any time we were on the promenade deck, there were always workers painting and/or varnishing the wood railings, ...
This was a very fun cruise leaving out of San Juan visiting St Thomas, St Johns, Tortola, Antigua, Dominica and Barbados within one weeks time. I only saw a handful of children throughout the entire week, which made the vacation very enjoyable with allot of very nice Canadians on the cruise. The entire staff was exceptional and May our room steward for R623 was the best we've ever had.
I have ...
My husband and I went on Caribbean Princess to the Southern Caribbean in February 2012. This was our 5th cruise and our first on Princess. Our previous cruises were on Carnival and Royal Caribbean. We had heard that Princess was a "step above" these other two lines but we did not agree with that. We were not impressed with either the ship or the service. Although we had no major complaints, ...
We cruised on the Carribean Princess for seven days through the Southern Carribean. It was my first trip on Princess and it was a pleasant surprise. We got upgraded from a mini-suite to a vista suite and loved the room and the suite perks. The included laundry and internet service was amazing. The room steward was excellent, which was impressive since he covers nineteen rooms. I really ...
