Review summary

It was the worse cruise we were ever on. We have sailed 4 Princess cruises before, and this was the worst. Not worth the money we paid. Should have looked the age of ship before I made the reservations. It was an old ship that need to be sold or scrapped.

We’ve been on this ship, and we think she is a great ship, she has a spot at the front of the ship, that is one deck outside of the princess theater that is cool and comfortable to seat, love the wheelhouse lounge, I have been on older ships and new ones, and a cruise is what you make it yourself.

I like the old, classic feel.No kids and older crowd.Perfect for me.Also kept same sex saunas, which are disappearing.

Well….I do agree that researching your ship is important!

We did 3 BTB cruises on the Caribbean Princess in May of this year. Yes it’s an older ship but we had a blast. Hard to believe of all the bars on the ship they were all crowded. Our bar of choice is Crooners and it got crowded but it’s always the busiest bar on any of Princess ships! So I could maybe see you might have had to wait for your drinks. We have been on all the Princess ships but 4 of the 15.

You are entitled to your opinion. But I disagree, I enjoy the older ships
