Review summary

Been on many cruises and sailed with different cruise lines. We were very happy and had a great time on Regal Princess earlier this year so having the experience we had on Caribbean Princess was disappointing.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Went pretty smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Dining room service was extremely overwhelmed. Most dinners we spent in the same dining room at the same table and we had to wait for over an hour for a bugger and fries even though I had given them my GF order the night before. Except for lobster night the food was not good even the food in the Italian specialty restaurant. Buffets did not offer many GF items except for rolled up lunch meat…cheese and white rice. It was very frustrating trying to find out if certain foods were GF by asking the staff the answer I a got was “ not sure let me get someone” where I had to wait even longer to find out most foods were not Gluten free.

Sabatini's Italian Trattoria

2 out of 5

Wanted to try some authentic Italian cuisine and the food was terrible.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I mostly hung out by the pools. If you didn’t get up at 6am to reserve a pool lounge you weren’t gonna get one.

Entertainment

Didn’t attend any shows

Children's Programs

Didn’t have children with me

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Our room steward was great. Very helpful and quick to get us what had requested. Room looked great everyday!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Pleased with the cleanliness and design.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was spacious and loved the balcony. Our room steward was amazing!

Ship tip

Don’t except to be fed well…especially if you have food allergies on Caribbean Princess
