Ship: Caribbean Princess

Cabin number: GUAR

Traveled as: Couple

Review summary

I think cheap cruises gets the worst of the worst cabins. It’s better to go through the cruise line itself. You’re not saving when you use anyone other than the cruise line.

Small cabin. Very front cabin on lower deck. Got seasick due to feeling every motion on the ship.

Ship tip

Don’t go on princess. It’s a dying ship

I was on the same cruise. Seas were fairly rough for the first two days so room location probably wasn’t a factor. When you choose a GUAR cabin you’re always going to get cabins that don’t sell for one reason or another. Sometimes it works out, other times it doesn’t. Book direct or use a TA for best outcome. I hope you enjoyed some of the cruise. I loved Roatán. Thought it was beautiful.

But we all know, if we get a bottom rate and not allowed to choose our own cabin it's probably going to be something like the one described. That's kind of a buyer beware when you go into these things blind - whether it's through the ship or a third party.

Sorry to hear you were not impressed. We went in 2018 on princess Caribbean. We loved it. We will cruise princess again!

Wonder how much of this review is of the third party booking (WTH?) and how much is the ship?
