Caribbean Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

friends was a "bad Boat" too many complaints, don't go on it. Caribbean princess just out of dry dock, perfect ship now. (unknown to us: on dry dock for RFID application/which I would never use 24 hours in my life, and is likely unsafe to have a level needed to monitor all passenger whereabouts): RFID enables Princess to charge you faster, and not show you a proper bill. Balcony area looked old, and both sides open to other staterooms/Broken. No one checked on this while boat being turned around for next cruise? Room was full of vibration> Floor next to bed actually vibrating. When we were in bed, attempted to use earplugs and sleep, but at 1 am, throat burning from diesel fumes from smoke stacks, Called Supervisor, moved us to another forward room, Quiet, no vibration. I have a video of the smoke from smokestacks at 0100 curling around and going into rooms starboard and aft> Princess denies this is toxic fumes. I beg to differ. The staff stopped denying the problem existed until I informed them of my video, then they were SILENT. Friends in high places: my friends in 8000K Suite had broken a/c for 2 days, water dripping down wall into bucket in hallway for3 +days and then a horrible mold smell in hallway. Outside their deck, loud vibration engine noise. Unable to enjoy the outside area. Couch in their room tired/old cushions warn. Princess owes them a huge refund. They will not be getting one. Our neighbors saw us moving out of our unsafe stateroom. They too c/o vibration and sewage smell in their room. OMG, She stated was told nothing can be done...? Princess sent my date/time stamped video of smoke and c/o vibrating floor etc. Boat unstable in quiet seas. Side to side Rolling way to fast/frequently. Even on last evening. I was hoping we would not have a "real" problem. I am a boater and it sounded and felt like the stabilizer as well as the engine needed repair. THIS WAS a Complaint ON LINE FEB 2018. ( My brother looked this up for me when I got home ).LOOK UP CARIBEAN PRINCESS: PRINCESS HAS NOT DONE A THING TO REMEDY THIS BOAT. PLEASE TAKE NOTE. Princess customer service rep at 520 pm called me and was extremely rude. Offered me 100.00 on a future cruise. I stated this was insulting. She stated she would then withdraw the offer. I accepted that, will never go on another princess cruise. I believe she had had a day full of complaints and I was the very last as she was off at 530 pm. She would not refer me to a supervisor, stated she was the last person I would be talking to at princess. I wished her to have a good evening:) What really good customer service. :( Take note: Customer safety/comfort not the priority. Making money exposing us to RFID / Safety of engine questionable, Stabilizer on boat questionable, Diesel /mold/sewage smell real . Disembarkation: 1 1/2hours on bus waiting for ride to airport. We were almost late for our flight. Do not use Princess transfer. Thank you for listening.

Best belated honeymoon ever! It just took us 40+ years!🥂

Our ten day cruise on the Caribbean Princess with partial transit of the Panama Canal was perfect in every way from start to finish! The staff and crew were exceptionally warm and welcoming and the ports of call were interesting and mostly very picturesque, with the exception of Limon, Costa Rica, which isn't spectacular unless one takes an excursion beyond the port and city itself, which we were unable to do due to accessibility. The food on the ship was delicious in every venue and the staterooms were clean and well maintained. The public areas were very nicely decorated and the entertainment on board was fab! Three cheers for this "Love Boat"!!

Our cruise was over Christmas and New Year’s. The ship was nicely decorated for the holidays which made it special . The entertainment was wonderful and holiday themed. Watching the balloons drop in the Piazza for New Year’s while the band played music and we all danced was so much fun! Would do it again!

The crew, entertainment, on board activities were outstanding. Our only wish was that we could have done B2B, but needed to take care of Dr's appointments. Caribbean Princess - we will be back. Can't wait!!!

normally travel on the smller ships but this cruises was back to back so the dates suited us. Loved the ship didn't notice it was that bi as there was always somewhere to sit on deck or inside . Crew fab as ever especially the Ass Cruises Director Anna .p

I didn’t know what happened since January 2018 we had a great time on the Caribbean princess. We just got off the Caribbean princess December 19 , I was never so glad to get off a princess ship there was nothing good I can say about the cruise. I have been on 21 princess cruises this was the very worst

Wonderful cruise. Much better than we were expecting. Weather is similar to South Florida. Would definitely recommend to others.

The cruise staff was great, the destinations were great. The food was good but not much difference from day to day. Most of the passengers were over 60 and all the entertainment and activities were targeted towards the senior age groups. Younger people should choose another cruise line unless they are looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation.

Many things to do on board. I just wish they would enforce a time and place for peace and quiet. The sanctuary had rude guest that ruined the quiet. Lots of rude people on board. I thought with the average age of 65 plus there would be a more mellow, respectful crowd. I enjoyed our Princess cruise to Alaska and thought this would be the same. I was wrong. I hope they goal is not to make Princess like Carnival, only wish they had the Carnival burgers the rest they can keep.

Not really sure if I would take this cruise line again. I think everyone should have been given internet access. If you just charge an additional fee of say $50 and just include it with the package of the cruise it would go a long way. Again your marketing strategy should

Nice ship but overall not a good experiance, there is something not cohesive about the staff, the food etc. I love cruising and have been on wonderful ships, this one did not click and run smoothly

We have been on many cruises and the panama canal was on our bucket list, now that we have been there, done that, probably wouldn't go again. We had a great visit with relatives that cruised with us. The wait staff was excellent and the room steward superb! Lots of food available.

The wait staff and our room attendant were outstanding. The cruise was decorated for Christmas after the first week, the timing was perfect. The Cruise Director and staff were outstanding.

It was our 1st time with Princess and we enjoyed our cruise very much. This ship was partially refurbished and it is very nice. The service , Stateroom, waiters and assistants in the dining room was excellent . The tours we booked with Princess were good , the best one being in Trinidad. If you want to dress nice for the dining room , Princess is the one , I really enjoyed that .

Wonderful trip. Have been to most of these ports before but always enjoy the local culture and beautiful beaches.

Well I had pros and cons about sailing on the Caribbean Princess the service was great I enjoyed having the app balcony room the boat was kind of boring kind of felt like I was at a retirement center no nightlife and the food was not that great we ate the same food over and over again very disappointed with that not sure if I'll ever Cruise princess again going back to Royal Caribbean

Older crowd but enjoyed the ports that is why I chose this itinerary

Thoroughly enjoyed cruise. Good selection of destinations. Food and service very good.

Was one of the greatest vacations in a long time despite smell on parts of the ship and ac not cooling enough.
