Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
As a WFPB eater, the ship was mostly accommodating. They could use a little bit of work in some areas though.

The Salty Dog Grill

1 out of 5

Do not go near the veggie burger. IT is the most disgusting thing. The other vegan alternative is the black bean and sweet potato buritto and that is horrible too.

World Fresh Marketplace

4 out of 5

Many helpful chefs, but you have to ask for things that you need.

Skywalkers Nightclub

5 out of 5

Great in the day time if you want to sit quietly and have a great view. It is a great disco at night, and we spent a lot of time up there!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Lots of trivia and a few good night time game shows.

Lotus Spa

5 out of 5

Although pricy, the staff is amazing, and they won't push you into purchasing anything that you don't want to buy.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Pretty good overall

Explorer's Lounge

4 out of 5

The staff is excellent here. The sound system is extremely loud though, so it is difficult to discuss answers of trivia or to participate in games without yelling at the top of your lungs.

Club Fusion

3 out of 5

I think that this venue is really awkward in the set up. It is not fun to do any trivia, or to see any show here.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was amazing.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
A bit dated, and a lot of things were a "work in progress' such as non working faucets and elevators.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We upgraded to this premium balcony on the 10th floor. We were originally supposed to be in R329, which is directly under the "Salty Dog". We did NOT want to imagine ourselves underneath the sound of constant scraping chairs from the floor above, so we bidded for the upgrade! Stateroom C323, the balcony is a lot deeper and has a partial cover, so that you are not in complete view of the onlooking floor above. Overall, the Caribe Deck is known for its spacious balconies, offers a touch of luxury and extra room to spread out. These balconies are often great for hosting private gatherings or simply indulging in moments of solitude while taking in the fresh sea breeze. Staying on the Caribe Deck can provide a sense of exclusivity and a high level of comfort.

Ship tip

I would tell someone about the 6 hide-aways to ensure a quiet vacation.

Ports of call

New York, New York

5 out of 5
We took a bus, the subway and the ferry. We visited times square, Alice in Wonderland shop, the bull, the world trade, and so much more.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

5 out of 5
LOVE this place. You can spend the entire day on the board walk.

Sydney, Nova Scotia

4 out of 5
Not much to do, but it is a nice walk around the town, and there are a lot of murals on the walls in the town.

Nuuk, Greenland

5 out of 5
Went on a 8.1 KM hike there which was pretty challenging.

Wow, 2 months! Fabulous. Glad you had a wonderful cruising time and time again. Thanks for your review. Seems we see more folks who are doing multiple B2B cruising.

Living my dream!! I really want to go to Greenland. I assume itโ€™s not a tourist trap and would be disappointed if there was lots to do.

Thanks. My first cruise on the Caribbean Princess is june 2024. It has a lot venues that only come on the older ships, such as skywalkers and wheelhouse bar which I miss so looking forward to the 16 night Norway Cruise. My cabin is midships on Dolphin deck ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ›ณ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿ‘
