40th anniversary celebratory cruise

Overall, we enjoyed our cruise very much. we have cruised many times, but this was our first Princess cruise. THe Caribbean Princess is their oldest ship I believe, and it shows itself to be in some areas. The balcony cabin on the caribe deck was the smallest I have ever seen with the bathroom and ridiculously small shower built for small people. I do t know how those of a larger size could use it. On several nights there was an odor of sewage The hall and in my cabin which i reported and there were blowers in the hallways and our room stewArd used something I. Our room which lessened the odor.m learned that the ship was scheduled for a time I. Dry dock in a week. THey said it would be two week which I was surprised it could use months. common rooms were not large enough to accommodate guests wish I g to participate I. What events were going on And the large Princess theater was only used for the nightly entertainment. The entertainment was outsTanding each night and cruise director very good. The crew was very helpful and pleasant and did their difficult job of getting us in and out of the dining room with agility. Food was good overall, with breads and desserts outstanding, we did two beach excursions on Bonaire and CUracao which were well worth it, Mambo beach and our tour guide were great. BOnaire a less built up islands beach day was fun. Both were worth the money.  Wwhether we sail on Princess again is up in the air. For sure will not sail on the Caribbean Princess, but heard there other newer ships are great. DIsembarkation was a breeze. Overall we had a very good time.
