Caribbean Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Althought this ship was lovely and the food and entertainment excellent, we were very disappointed to have been advised a few days prior to sailing that the port of St. Maarten had been eliminated. We booked this particular cruise ONLY because of that stop! Also, even though we had booked our cruise more than a year in advance, they were unable to provide us with a table of 10 for dinner. They had several of these tables throughout the dining rooms, but we didn't get one. Unacceptable, considering the earliness of our booking.

There were a lot of activities to participate in on the ship. Night shows were very good, but need to get there at least 45min get a good seat. The other cruisers were not as nice as excepted. We lost a lot of time at Bermuda, which was by far the nicest island we visited. That was very disappointing. Not a party boat, which i liked, but a lot of kids. The pool was always packed and it was near impossible to find two chairs together at the pool.

We went on this same ship in December 2007 and the difference was astounding. The Art director was more knowledgeable about Art, not just a salesman. The bingo was more of a value and better at entertainment, not just rushed through and had more games for the money.{Too expensive to play.} There were fewer excursions to choose from, and with this many people on board this was a problem. The excursions were mostly sold out well before the cruise.

The ship was beautiful! There was always something to do and see while we were at sea!!! The crew was fabulous! The food was to die for!

The ship is impressive, both in terms of spectacle and size, but you know something so big is going to have a number of little problems (and even one big one - see about the boutique on board). I hope you find this review helpful.

The food and the night time entertainment were top notch. The ship itself needs to be retaired. From elevators that do not work to bathrooms around ship that are out of order, to no cold water in the bathroom sink this ship is a disaster.

The ship's crew was great & service was superb- with a full ship the entertainment shows were hard to get a seat at the late showings. The time on each ports was limited, but still fun to visit. The Bermuda dockyard did not have enough cab service out of the yard due to the fact that it was a weekend.

I sailed on the Carribean Princess for the first time. It was a fantastic cruise. the ship is beautiful and very well maintained. The pool areas are super and the lido buffet was always delicious. The servicewas excellent. We loved the entertainment ,and the casino. We visted Grand Turk and Princess Cays which was heavenly lots of water sports and activities or you could just relax on the beach or at the pool on Grand Turk.

We went with friends and had a lot of fun because of them. The food was only average. You hear about the awesome food that is on cruise ships but for this cruise we were not impressed. The appetizers were better than the main courses and the buffets were average. The boat is clean and there is plenty of hand sanitizer located all over the ship.

Although smaller than some ships it had all the amenities you could ask for in a small trip. Very clean & beautiful.

The Caribbean Princess was a beautiful, clean ship. My wife and I had a balcony room and I don't think I would get anything other than a balcony. It was beautiful and the room was very clean and cozy. The staff was excellent from front to back, top to bottom. They were helpful and very friendly. My only complaints are that the bed was hard as a rock and we felt lost at times. It was our first cruise and we didn't know how things worked as far as tips, buying drinks, or even finding free water. Overall it was an excellent cruise and I would certainly cruise Princess again.

My first time cruising and all of my "fears" about cruising were confirmed. The most alarming thing was the demographics of my fellow cruisers. WOW. Very interesting people watching if you find that a plus for vacations. I don't.

Great ship. Good friendly staff who was willing to do anything to make your trip a great experience.

The princess cruise is gigantic! All the employees were very friendly and respectful. I felt like a royalty. My room was kept clean all the time and they did a great job making sure you feel like home. I love the fact there's always food and it's free except the specialty restaurant. I also love the idea that gratuity is charged automatically on your credit card so you don't have to worry about how much to pay for each person. Princess cruise has this great cruise card that you use for everything even on Princess Cays. I love all the entertainment that Princess cruise offers such as the comedy shows and the movies. The movies are very recent. I did find it hard to play tennis or table tennis because there was always someone using it. There should be a signup sheet for that. The professional pictures are a bit expensive, and they should keep the price low so people would buy them since they already printed them out. Overall, I love my first cruise experience. It was awesome!

The ship is in excellent condition, clean, spacious and very comfortable.

The service was wonderful. I had a very high respect for our steward Runial. He is a hard worker, but ALWAYS happy and in a good mood. He should be in management. He is a great motivator for a good time on board. Please give him a good raise this year! This is a very clean and sanitary ship. They are really aware of bacteria and what it causes. I liked that. The food was great. The entertainment was wonderful. I felt like I was in a great big baby crib being rocked to sleep everynight. The room was very quiet and peaceful. There is only one bit of advise if I may give it: The room service has a bad system. There should be an answering machine where you can be prompted with questions about what you need, instead of the waiting query system. It is outdated.. That way instead of the operator spending all her time answering calls, she could be getting the room service orders in line. I had a wonderful time. It was a very good vacation for the money. Very economical. Yours truly, Robin Black, Saluda SC

My overall impression of the ship was good.

It totally depends on what you are looking for but for me that was rest and some BJ action. The rest was wonderful, the meals were fine even if a bit on the eclectic side but the casino action was ugly at best and lacking most of the time. I enjoy playing cards and looked forward to a nice time (even if not a profitable one) at the tables but when you can't even get a $25 table open after asking for three nights in a row... something is wrong. It's not that I don't like the low $3/$5/$10 tables, it's just that it doesn't allow for a set group of experienced players to form a common bond at a higher stakes table. Additionally the pit-bosses were less than forthcoming with any comps on drinks as if it was coming out of their pockets directly - when you provide action at $50 for four hours you'd think they'd at least comp you one drink - other lines do much better with this. For the cruise part of the trip this was as expected. Smooth sailing, great ports and only a slightly noticeable amount of "kids".

This was my first thime on a cruise and it more then I had expected. Everything was GREAt and I found nothing bad about it. I will take another cruise in the near future.

Our curise was basically good. Our state room attendant was excellent. The cruise director and his staff great people alot of fun. The outside entertainment was great. Sarge was the best.
