Caribbean Princess

14 Night Caribbean Adventurer (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip)

Sail date: March 05, 2017

Ship: Caribbean Princess

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 7 years ago

Review summary

Our room steward and dining room staff were topnotch, as was the food.  We did not know what to expect regarding the facilities since the ship is scheduled for renovation soon.  Everything was clean and working and our mini suite was very comfortable.  One disappointment was the entertainment and things to do on board.  There was only one production show and it was very energetic but otherwise fell flat.  The rest of the nights the entertainment in the theater was a not very funny comedian.  During the day there were the usual games and sales-oriented gatherings but no topical lectures such as we have had on other Princess sailings.

Ship tip

International Café is a find for breakfast or lunch. High quality food at no extra charge without the crowded atmosphere of the buffet.

Ships do age - but it's sad when that's allowed to effect the cruise experience.

LOVE the IC for coffee and snacks anytime of day!

Surprising that there were no port lectures.  They're usually held in the Princess Theater;  Sometimes though, it's just a shopping thing.

Is this renovation in April 2017?

Oh wow. That's great news. Most likely to include the entire re wire for Ocean Medallion technology.

I have read that she is to go into dry dock on March 25 for refurbishment but not extensive renovation. I hope she will be all bright and fresh looking for our April 20 voyage.

I would like to know that one too as I'm not aware of any renovation.
