Review summary

I've sailed the Regal Princess , and Now this ship the Caribbean Princess . The staff aboard both ships were OUTSTANDING . However the food , and specialty food was disappointing here on the Caribbean Princess . Room service food ( Ordered 5 times ) ALWAYS arrived cold , and condiments would be unpredictable. Meaning one day I ordered a hot dog and it came with sides of mayo , mustard, ketchup and relish . The next time I ordered a hot dog it arrived with just mayo and mustard . When I called down I was told that I had to specifically ask cor condiments. Hmmmm , I hadn't before and it came with ketchup. Anyways , besides the food being consistently cold , and the condiment debacle , My last pet peeve was again,,,,,,,,,Room Service . I had ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with fries . When it arrived ( Other than being cold and served on toast, No grilling involved ) I find that it was made with a thin slice of swiss cheese ( a cold cut at that)I call the front desk and inquire about it being swiss and not american cheese . I was informed that grilled cheese sandwiches are made with swiss cheese and not american cheese. Hmmmmmm , And to think that I've been doing it all wrong all these years. Anyways she goes on to tell me that they have no american cheese . I quickly see that this is going nowhere and politely say goodbye . No American cheese huh ? I just had it on my cheeseburger last night , Oh well , you see my point . Other than the food ? I have no complaints . Staff was outstanding and the ship was beautiful.
