Review summary

We just returned from this cruise (Caribbean Princess 7 day, Eastern Caribbean) to St. Marteen, St. Thomas and Princess Cays last Sunday. The boat was very well maintained, the room was comfortable, and wonderfully maintained by our room steward, Alex. The amount of food was abundant, but the quality was just average (of course, they are preparing 13,000 meals a day, so you have to give them some leeway). The entertainment was first rate the first three nights, but went downhill quickly. Overall, I would rate it this way ---- Room Steward - 10 out of 10, Dining room service 3 out of 10 (unless you dine in the dining room, you are pretty much on your own regarding getting anything other than alcohol to drink). Ship quality - 9 of 10, St, Marteen 1 of 10, reminds me of Nassau, St. Thomas 8 of 10 - much cleaner (if you can, DO THE DANCING DOLPHIN Turtle Cove Snorkeling -- YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME). Princess Cays 0 of 10, too crowded, not enough time, and crappy shore line. All in all, I can see a lot better ways of spending $10,000 on a vacation.
