Caribbean Princess

9 Night Eastern Caribbean (New York Roundtrip)

Sail date: May 17, 2008

Ship: Caribbean Princess

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Couple

Review summary

The food and the night time entertainment were top notch. The ship itself needs to be retaired. From elevators that do not work to bathrooms around ship that are out of order, to no cold water in the bathroom sink this ship is a disaster.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food in the Lido was somethimes better than in the dining rooms and available at any time. The dining room wait staff (as well as the Lido staff) were excellent.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I rate this excellent only because of the nighttime entertainment, which was truly excellent. During the day, however, it was like watching paint dry. Nothing to do. If not for the movies that are played during the day, there would be nothing to do.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Anything you needed they got for you. Very accommodating.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
The ship is clean enough thanks to its hard working crew. The decor is better than most, but getting up to the cabins in the not always working elevators can get pretty frustrating.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
The inside cabins are way too small compared to other ships. The only well appointed part of the room is the closet.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

5 out of 5
Bermuda is beautiful. Only stop in which we did our own tour. Horseshoe Bay beach is not to be missed.

Grand Turk Island

1 out of 5
If you're not on an excursion, there is nothing to see or do here.
Don't Miss: We went snorkeling

Pros: Nighttime entertainment

Cons: the ship
