Review summary

Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the cruise. The crew and staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. The ports visited were very interesting and provided great educational and well as enjoyable excursions. Our trip was in early May. The weather was surprisingly pleasant. Sunny skies at least part of every day. Temperature for day time highs ranged from the mid 50', to low 60's. I highly recommend this tour. We have enjoyed our experiences on fifteen cruises. This one ranks among the best.

I gotcha! :) We've taken RC prior and quite enjoyed that, but I feel like they're just tempting fate now with the insane size of their ships, especially the Symphony of the Seas due out in 2018. We chose this for the ports of call, to be 100% honest so I'm not tooooo worried considering there are only 2 at sea days and I've filled them with spa stuff anyways.

jessikill yes but not as much as the new royal and regal which is what I was comparing it to. the drydock changed some eating areas around upgraded the muts screen and put in thw medallion...but royal and regal have that and more...more lounges, water show on deck, the skywalk that extends over the water along with a bar that foes the same in other side...caribbean does not have these...oh and cp is the coral princess cb is the code for Caribbean princess

@cruzrbachoua CP was just refitted and came into service in April/May, safe to assume its got a few more bells and whistles than before.

caribbean princess won't have all the bells and whistles that royal has so go prepared for that. .no water show, no movies on demand in cabin. .different layout in buffet but she is still a great ship. ..been on he 3 times ...she was our 1st

I'm so happy to see a positive review. I have 21 days until we set off on this cruise. We last sailed on Royal Princess so I guess our expectations are high.
