Wonderful cruise, great ship. We are from New Jersey, so didn't spend time before in NYC, but many people did.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
New Medallion makes things so easy. Not a 5 because they delayed boarding for cleaning because of one of those gastrovirus things. We are platinum, so we're still on pretty early.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Palm dining was great. Hard to find at first though. International cafe was terrific. Only ate at buffet twice dokie breakfast early un cruise. Because of the gastrovirus issue we couldn't serve ourselves, use salt and pepper or put our own milk in coffee. Pretty weird. All back to normal in a few days. Oh, someone had a dog in buffet dining area, which really irks me.

Entertainment

Theatre was full many nights and couldn't get in. Ziggy at Crooners was great, but sometimes they had two girls playing the violin, kind of weird at a bar. Guitar player some nights was great.

Tiny, but we knew it would be. Bed was fine, pretty noisy.
I'm from southern Maine and my husband and I try to make it to Arcadia National Park every other year and have lunch or dinner at the Jordan Pond House Restaurant. A must if your traveling to Arcadia.
Love the Caribbean Princess and so sorry weather did not not permit you to visit Bar Harbor and Arcadia. Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. Thank you for your honest review.
