I love the older ships with the full promenade but this one really really needs dry dock

Staff was great, service varied dramatically based on venue

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Clean but badly need dry dock. I had read about AC issues before boarding. My cabin was fine but I met people who couldn't get their cabin temp under 80

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I was on an interior due to it being free. My steward was great. But I hate being inside and will never do it again.

Ship tip

Either book a Mini suite on Dolphin or a balcony on Caribe.

Appreciate your detailed feedback. Glad you enjoyed your cruise and learned that an inside cabin is not for you. We have friends who absolutely love them.

I was on the Caribbean Princess last December and had a great time. I will say there were some areas of ship that were very warm, but not unbearable. I found the ship to be in excellent shape for her age and recall no issues with maintenance or too much rust. Also I usually cruise in an inside, but I choose the pool deck or the deck below so I can quickly go from cabin to pools, hot tubs, food options, ect with ease.

Food was great, friendly crew, but the ship could use a little tender loving care.

Wonderful ports
