Review summary

I enjoyed the ship very much. Definitely recommend the Club Class ....very good treatment and service. Two swimming pools..I enjoy swimming . Great casino with a dice table.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
very organized. We were in Club Class, which I highly suggest.....worth every penny of the cost.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We also had the Beverage package. Note: Beverage package cost $54.95/per person...prior to the cruise (which I did...prepaid), however on board, you can purchase the same package for $52.95/day. A $2.00 savings per person,per day...on a 15 day cruise ...$60.00 savings !

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
One of the best I have ever had ...very,very roomy. Most comfortable.

Ship tip

Learn the ship. It is BIG ! Figure out Forward and Aft....and where you want to go....otherwise you will be doing a lot of walking.

The room was R401 classed as a "suite" That gave you access to Club Class dining which was a designated area in the dining room , near some windows.

Actually, I got a suite room , and that qualified me for the "club" class . It was very good. Pools weren't all that busy .

Craps! I hope to experience Club Class on some future cruise as it sounds a little intriguing. Hope your pools were not too busy most of the time.

It was a great cruise. We are Elite so we really enjoy the perks...free internet, laundry service to name a few things. I feel Princess have the best of any cruise line.
Nice cruise
Disappointing crossing on the Caribbean Princess
