Review summary

Thoroughly enjoyed the Caribbean Princess, it was our first Princess cruise and will not be our last. She is an older ship but still a grand one. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and outgoing. The food in the Main Dining Room was great, did not like the buffet food at lunch, did not eat dinner at the buffet so can not comment (breakfast was good). We did the wedding renewal ceremony and Princess did an excellent job., would recommend it.

Cabin / Stateroom

We were in D522 mini suite which was nice, needs a bit updating but was clean and served its purpose for the amount of time we were in the cabin.
