Caribbean Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The cruise was very good. Food great and entertainment great.  Would recommend this cruise to anyone. Bought 200.00 for future cruises. Getting off the boat took almost 2 hours after the time we were given.  That was the only problem we boarded fast.

THE FOOD WAS NOT AT ALL GOOD, THE LIMIT TIMES TO EAT, ON AND OFF THE SHIP WAS TERRIBLE ROOMS WERE TOO SMALL FOR ANY PRICE, THE MUSTER DRILL WAS HORRIBLE ACTUALLY A LADY FAINTED DUE TO CROWDED CONDITIONS AND LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG TIME. I WILL NEVER GO ON ANOTHER PRINCESS CRUISE, PLUS CARNIVAL OWNS PRINCESS SO I STILL DO NOT GET ANY CREDIT FOR THIS DISASTER, I THINKING OF CHANGING MY CRUISES

We had nice room with the worst bed in the world. steward tried to help put pad on bed helped some, but was still bad. We complained to service desk twice did no good in fact we did not receive response from anyone.

Food was nothing special could have gotten better at a family restaurant at home.

We had a steward in buffet complain to my wife and I about how unfair immigration was, very surprised by this, do all crew on this ship feel this way?

This tended to make us uncomfortable rest of trip.

The one bright spot of this trip was the waiter we found in anytime dining. he was great we requested him for the last 4 nights of cruise.

Ports were fine enjoyed them.

All the shows were great and The Broadway shows were spectacular! Food well done! Very good value for the price! Service in the dining rooms couldn't be better,and all the wait staff were accommodating to your every need. The buffet did not disappoint  with a large selection of quality food. Nothing to complain about, just sit back and enjoy!

The cruise was everything we expected. The entertainment in the theater was top notch. The service provided by our room steward and the wait staff in the Coral Dining Room was exceptional. Looking forward to our next cruise!

Best: Excellent musicians, very attentive and friendly staff, Fast efficient embarkation and debarkation, very clean, bottles of wine at dinner reasonably priced, great dinner companions at anytime seating

Average:  Some great food but mostly average food,

Worst: The drink packages were ridiculously expensive (not even possible to justify that expense), dinner took two hours due to slow service, the wait for the elevators was extreme, people reserved deck chairs with towels (30 minute policy not enforced)

Embarkation was very quick and easy.  Staff was pleasant but could not answer questions, including location of different parts of the ship.  Would have liked more options on board for gifts for children, not babies.

We had very bad weather in Roatan so we couldn't really say much about it.  Overall it was a great cruise.  I was a little disappointed that Princess didn't offer any SCUBA diving at Belize.  It is one of the best places to dive in the world.

I would recommend this cruise to everyone.

We really enjoyed Belize.  We took a land and river cruise where we went to Altun Ha, had a Belizean lunch and then a cruise on the river.  The river part reminded me so much of old Florida but instead of alligators we had crocodiles.  We also saw a manatee and iguanas in the trees and on the land.  We had rain in Roatan which dampened the day.  It was the start of their rainy season.  I always look forward to Movies Under the Stars but this time they were showing Hall of Fame Rock Concerts.  I was disappointed, I wanted movies.  Caribbean Princess will be going under a remodel soon, can't wait to see what upgrades they make.

This was my grown son's very first cruise and he was truly impressed by everything!  The ship is beginning to show it's age, but it's still such a joy to sail on. The crew was incredible !!!  We could not believe we were going to have the pleasure of seeing PAUL on the entertainment staff again (our 3rd cruise with him and he is SO great!!!). We also enjoyed Mika, Carla. NATZ and all the others. Natz is an absolute BLAST !!!! We did take an excursion that was outside of Princess which we do not like to do but we felt we had no choice In Belize, the snorkeling is what we look forward to the most and we found an excursion thru eco-adventures that was amazing. The other two stops we did go onshore with Princess excursions. The food was great !!  We enjoy the pizza, dogs and burgers on Lido Deck for lunches, and the dinners were amazing!!! My son was truly impressed with everything!!  We enjoyed the onboard games and entertainment although we wonder if those who win trivia games (with perfect scores) live on the ship. Just wondering...  As I said, the ship is beginning to show its age and it's probably time for an upgrade. There were tiles loose in the bathroom which cut our feet from time to time. The toilet looked to have stains that can't be removed anymore. My daughter slept on the pullout couch bed which was not comfortable at all for her. It would not have been comfortable for any of us and since she is the youngest, she was kinda stuck with it. We only saw our room steward on our arrival and the last night. I guess we could have called to ask for some help with the pullout bed, but we didn't. My daughter's back was a mess by the end of the 6 days because of her sleeping. We had no need to contact our steward otherwise, but it would have been nice that he stop by and ask us how the bed was and if we needed any help with anything. 

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE,  THE ROOM , THE FOOD , THE INTERTAMENTS, THE CRUISE PERSONNEL, AND AVEROLL EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. I CAN WAIT UNTIL I GO BACK CRUISE WITHE THE COMPANY

Wanted to mention the dining experience at second sitting table #15 with Valerio,a very professional waiter, hands on at our little demands. We were a table of eight and some did not know what the menu items are but he took the time to explain all the items in detail and we've followed his recommendations wich happened to be above excellent. The assistant waiter Daryl is a great asset for the company: great communication skills and upgrade in the sales, also explaining the wines and the after dinner drinks. We all end up getting them and we are thankful for it. He should be promoted as a waiter right away! Casino stuff; wanted to mention Cosmin who took the time to teach us black jack , always smiling, because he loves what he is doing and I know when ppl are sincere about it. He loves his job and knows his customers. The casino manager Gabriel made our nights above and beyond our expectations. We've lost some money, no big deal, but because of these guys, we do not care and we are going to come back and try our luck again.

Princess you have an excellent stuff and please keep up with them!!!!!

Thank you again!

We were in the Sanctuary.  The food that we ordered was not as excellent quality as we have experienced before on cruises.  The wraps were small and not much in them.  The fruit kabobs were not the quality fruits that we were used to having.  There were no berries on this cruise except in the little desserts, but none just to eat plain.

Should you be in search of delicious food and entertainment sign up for a Princess Cruise. Our eight night cruise aboard the Caribbean Princess to the Southern Caribbean islands of Curasau, Bonaire, and Aruba provided us with the opportunity to dine at a variety of venues (formal and casual) for breakfast, lunch and dinner.The menus provide you with delicious choices which you will certainly enjoy. After each meal, should you choose, you may follow the "Patter" which is your entertainment guide for the day/night where you will find an array of activities to select. We attempted to move from trivia contests, to game show contests, to bingo drawings, to art auctions, to entertainment in the Piazza, to movies in the theater, to movies on the outdoor big screen, to demonstrations of ice carving and, best of all, to the onstage orchestrated singing, dancing, musicians and comedic acts and presentations. Truly, the talent on board, is simply excellent! As for our accommodations, we chose a mini suite on the Dolphin Deck, which is a bit more costly, but was strategically located mid ship, which at our age, help to cut out excessive walking. The mini suite, at three hundred plus square feet (with balcony) proved to be quite comfortable and roomy. We were also extremely pleased with our state room steward, Johnelie, who was outstanding. Overall, the Caribbean Princess is a beautifully designed and maintained ship with a seasoned crew whose aim is to please their passengers!

The scenery was great and the temperatures fit the area. The total number of ports made for a great time. You did not have time to be bored. A lot of the shore 

trips were very informative and fun. Each port of call had something different to offer. The only trip, in my opinion, that was not to par was the New York Red Bus 

Hop on Hop off. The length of the trip and the New York traffic did not leave time

to see all the stops you wanted and they had to alter the trip to get us back to the 

ship in time for departure.We had 15 minutes to spare. We would have liked more time in New York and Boston......Last of all Quebec is such a beautiful city we could have spent more time there also......

Awsome Cruise!!! not bad weather, Great Staff, friendly and helpful... food was excellent... always something to do... Beautiful Landscapes... this cruise was on my Bucket list...

the tenders are not fit for the disabled. It was a horrible experience for my husband. He did not tender at the second port. Although the staff on the tenders were extremely helpful, the boat is not adequate for wheelchairs and it should be made clear on the description of the cruise. Disabled not able to use tenders!

Gorgeous weather in Canada and New England helped make this a spectacular cruise. The Caribbean Princess is an older ship, but still in good shape and maintained well. The food is overall just average (both sit down dining and buffet)-with the specialty restaurants offering the only really good meals. With 3000+ passengers, waiting in long lines becomes the norm, so patience is necessary. The staff is well informed and helpful and our cabin steward particularly attentive. 

Be prepared that other cruise ships have similar itineraries during the short fall season, so each port is crowded with tourists all vying to visit the same major sites. 

This was a last minute replacement cruise that was booked with in three weeks of departure.

The ports of call and the tours exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed the Princess Caribbean as well as the dining venues. All of the staff/crew, went beyond to make sure that we, and everyone else had an enjoyable time. The live entertainment and bands were phenomenal!

Our table mates were just a perfect match! There were 4 couples

The ports of call and tours were great!

Our mini suite was spacious, Our cabin steward kept it very clean!
