Princess Caribbean Princess Cruise Reviews for Family to the Eastern Caribbean from San Juan

PRECRUISE FRIDAY We drove 2 hours to the airport through rain/ice/snow and the flight was delayed 2+ hours due to weather. The agent said our connection was iffy at best and that tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday all flights to San Juan were completely sold out. There were already lots of "iffies" on this trip, so one more seems par for the course. We finally board our 1 hour connecting flight and ...

We arrived in San juan late on Sunday evening after flights from Manchester via JFK. The airport is close to the Port and the princess arranged transfers were reliable and quick as normal. Boarding was very quick as it was nearly 10pm by the time we got to the ship so majority of people were already on. I did hear some horror stories from people who Arrived earlier in the day as customs delayed ...

This ship caters more to the young adult/adult crowd. Although it touts youth programs it really does not have much to attract a 10 year old. No climbing wall, super slide, mini golf. The best you get is a small kiddie pool and the two regular pools. However, there are bars and lounges everywhere for the over 21 crowd. Get the full kids drink package, it allows you to get free milk shakes ...

This was mine and the DH first cruise. We were recommended to princess from my brother-in-law. The initial booking process was very simple and after months of rescearch it made choosing what to do a snap. I won't talk about the trip there becuase it has nothing to do with princess. Bording was suppose to start at 1, but when we arrived in san juan the princess rep said we should meet at 11 for ...

We're married, ages 33 & 35. This was our 4th cruise, 2nd time on the CB, but our 1st cruise with just the two of us as we usually travel with a group of family & friends. We were really excited to finally cruise on our own and this trip didn't disappoint!Flights and transfers round trip were booked through Princess. We arrived in San Juan at 6 p.m. and were on the ship by 7. It was great to get ...

Quick background: We sailed with family, 9 people in total aged 2 to 79. We have all sailed Princess and other lines before.We had limited non-stop flight choices to get to San Juan so for the first time in years we flew to the port the day of departure. Took taxi to port, which was $19 plus $1 per bag (plus tip) for 4 of us. The other 5 traveling with us took the Princess shuttle bus. Long ...

It was a good cruise. Embarkation: We arrived via Princess transfer and I believe we were onboard by 12ish. The embarkation process was easy. Common Areas: The common areas were fine. The cushions on the poolside chairs were showing some wear. Food: We aren't the dress up types so we ate every meal in the buffet since we could wear shorts. I thought the food was ...

Getting there: AA flight to Dallas almost leaves on time, but doesn't, but no matter: US carriers typically build in extra flight time so their performance records look better. How, I wonder, can airline cabin crew remain dedicated to their jobs when virtually everything they do makes passengers even grumpier? After five hours in the air from Dallas, passengers applaud when the aircraft ...

When looking for a spring break cruise, as a teacher, I tried to find a ship with some "adult-only" amenities and thought the itinerary might be less 'kid-friendly' than the Western Caribbean ports. Don't get me wrong, I love kids, just not while on a break from them! My review isn't about the kids, it's about the ship and the cruise. Embarkation and disembarkation was really smooth. Before we got ...

Background While we enjoyed our cruise, we will not be traveling on the Caribbean Princess again anytime soon, especially if she sails from San Juan. There are too many people on this ship for the size of the public rooms, and it appears that Princess is heavily marketing the ship to first time cruisers, some of whom appear to be unfamiliar with normal shipboard etiquette. We were also very ...
