Review summary

sadly, this was not a special cruise on Princess. I choose this ship 🚢 due to its size, days out @sea, and interinery. Sadly, I was disappointed w/ the ship. It's needs a quick pic me up updating and deep cleaning.

😒The Spa is like your local venue not a really pampering client oriented service spa.

☕️Tea afternoon is not the old elegant relaxing afternoon tea. Serving Lipton and snacks.

👍🏻Enjoy the piano playing around ship.                                                           ?.Games and 70's disco night LAMO.

👍🏻Good shopping nice shop, just enough and what u may need.

🤒Medical service very good and reasonable.

🍔Food sadly disappointing. Don't waist your $29 on speciality restaurants. Not worth it! Foods better quality than diningrm but not worth the extra charge. Nothing that more special. Not aged steaks, decent choose cuts. Portaion sizes were fine. 

Buffet is what you except. Ok 

🍷Wines just ok 

👍🏻.Waitstaff very good in both dining rm & resturants. 

🍷Wines just ok  overpriced selection. Extra charge  Wine tasting is wines served in diningrm. Paying extra To  taste wines for sale. 

👍🏻The port trip fun!

👎Take cab to the port the transfers are soooo not worth it. You have to look for a person. Figure out where to go. Do asks question. Wait maybe 2 buses. Lug all your own luggage out of the terrain all around the terminal to where you'll line up for bus. Listen to bus driver how hard it is to unload luggage. Tip... carry luggage across street. Line up to give it to ships crew. Tip. 

⛴ Balcony  Rms small w/ need of deep cleaning and fleshing update. Daily   maid service was great! it's just she doesn't clean dirty curtains, stained grout, tile's need steam clean carpets-- the wearn tear of ship  makes the whole ship look dingy and dirty. 

😪Just really sad this was not what I excepted from Princess

ps . Go for the higher end w/ amenities included. A lot of upcharges so you spend it anayway.  I felt at the end this was expensive for a so,so trip.   

Princess charge more and give more ESP quality food.

It may have been helpful to you to know before your trip that the Caribbean Princess is due very soon to have a face lift, if you had known in advance you would have know more what to expect and could have made allowances, we sail on her in 2 weeks so are prepared to take it as it is, yes it would have been nicer if she was already spruced up be we can't all have everything all the time, I would however expect the service provided to still be of the same high standards that we have come to expect from Princess.
