Caribbean Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We went out for the third time on this ship in the last four years. She is a wonderful ship that is beginning to show her age. With that being said. She is such a wonderful and elegant ship that we just adore her. The MDR was wonderful and the waitstaff we had for dinner was wonderful. They took our order and just happened to be there to refill glasses/cups just in time. Never had to worry about a thing during dinner. Now breakfast in the MDR was at times hit or miss. Not bad food. But more so the service isn’t up to princess’s standards. The room was great! A in steward was awesome. Casino host was perhaps the best I have ever had. They were always out front and well seen at all times. They even bought a round of drinks to the tables on several occasions. Great personal and very knowledgeable about games. They decided to bring the Medallion online for this cruise. I love this concept. The cabin doors always open no fumbling for room key cards. Ordering drinks was simple as opening the app. Then boom in 3-5 min drinks were being delivered. Yes it needs some work. Yes it is a new concept for cruise ships. But YES absolutely a plus . Fantastic idea that will provide a valuable service one passengers become accustomed to this. Only reason for four instead of five. A few times we were given incorrect information. And when questioned about it I was brushed off. And the breakfast served in the MDR isn’t quite what we were accustomed to in the MDR for dinner. But overall couldn’t be more happy. Bravo princess you have done it once again. We are princess cruisers for life.

cruise was excellent. the princess cruise staff is always great.

What are you waiting for book a cruise you'll love it

Thoroughly enjoyed the Caribbean Princess, it was our first Princess cruise and will not be our last. She is an older ship but still a grand one. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and outgoing. The food in the Main Dining Room was great, did not like the buffet food at lunch, did not eat dinner at the buffet so can not comment (breakfast was good). We did the wedding renewal ceremony and Princess did an excellent job., would recommend it.

This was my first and last cruise. I really thought a suite would be a special time but sadly disappointed.

Overall fantastic ! Ii wish the champagne 🍾 night wasn’t booked with photographers everywhere and then disassble when they were done ! What about the people who want to view take picture or every participate in The champagne! They just through it out and tore dorn! For a formal evening that part could have been definitely improved upon !

This is the first time we've sailed Princess - frankly, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was good and the service exceptional.

They are still working out the Princess medallions and IT personnel were on the ship working on it every day. They'll get it tuned up eventually. I wanted to see the new Panama canal, and from that aspect it was great. An ex-diplomat narrated the transit, and after an hour on the PA system it got old.

The cruise itself was great, The food was not geared towards americans. It was more asian.

Because it is a longer cruise, it was a VERY quiet cruise due to age of cruisers. Our group age was 64 to 56 and we felt like children.

I had been in this ship in June. I got the same cabin I love it! Balcony on the Lido deck. One second to the pools pizza, ice cream and the buffet! And one flight up to the gym - which is fantastic - great views. Great new equipment , sauna, steam room. A small adults pool ! They had to change the itinerary because of Isaac. But I loved the new ports and the 20%gratuity for the next cruise

Caribbean Princess new food concept, World Marketplace, was in my opinion a huge mistake. Much of the food offered in this new venue was sandwiches and salads and other strange concoctions. We gave up on this new buffet style after a few days and ate nearly all meals thereafter in the main dining room where traditional cruise food was available. Great ship, great crew but the Marketplace buffet will keep me from returning to this ship. Other passengers also shared their dissatisfaction with the buffet. Princess Medallion WiFi on this ship was fantastic

Even with an itinerary change due to the storms I really enjoyed every single port we visited. I also really enjoyed the dining options and service was great throughout the cruise. What I wish is that I really listened to the reviews that said Princess caters to an older crowd. My husband and I are in our late 40s and found the activities or lack thereof BORING! We took advantage of a few days of R & R but at some point there should have been something fun to do for those under 65yrs old (no offense) this boat offered nothing! I did not want to partake in knitter & knatters, nor did I want to join the choir, or enter a paper plane contest. We even tried Skywalkers Club a of couple nights but that was a bust as well... maybe 15-20 ppl each night. Were it not for on-demand in our room and the drink package all would have been lost... so for all those on the fence trust when I say this boat caters to a much older crowd.

We had a very good time despite disappointment in change in destinations. Especially enjoyed meeting guest from all over the world, ie Scotland and the UK.

It was a really relaxing time, the entertainment was great, it was unfortunate that our itinerary was changed but I would rather that than go through a hurricane. All crew members were courteous and friendly.

The ship was beautiful. Our server in the main dining room Relson was awesome! We wanted to sit in his section every night which having anytime dining is not always possible. Our stateroom p222 was small but you don't need a lot of room, your not in there much. It did have the smallest shower we have ever had. Service in the buffet was excellent. We had an awesome time. Princess is still my cruise line of choice. I only gave 4 stars because of just a few things. There wasn't much seating in the piazza, it was always crowded. It really was to small for the amount of passengers that hang out there. every time we got something to eat at the international cafe it was a hunt for some place to sit. Also It was suppose to be a shark week cruise. The only thing shark was one elevator had pictures of sharks supposedly to seem like a shark tank. That was it on the whole ship. Was a little disappointing. And also. Gavin McLeod (captain stubbing from the love boat) was on board for a book signing. I stood in line for almost 2 hours and was rescheduled for the following day only to be told that I was not going to get my book signed. No compensation for the waste of my time. Very disappointing. But all in all still a great time. Oh also wasn't impressed with the cruise director. Him and his assistant cheated on the Yes and No game, they were booed by the audience.

John or Cabin mate was amaing and Jackie & Emil at the bar near the piano bar were also amazing. Felt amazing in such a short tie for staff to know us by name and personal preferences as to what we likes.

Loved the Caribbean Princess and the excursions, Fast Cat catamaran on St. Thomas, and Golden Eagle catamaran on St. Maarten

This was a trip with my sister. We enjoyed the quiet and unhurried atmosphere of this ship.

Caribbean Princess is the worst ship I have ever been on. And Princess Cruises is a terrible company. I am currently cruising the Caribbean. We are a family of four and the put us in a balcony stateroom for three. I asked for a bigger stateroom and got a no as an answer. You can imagine the result. Also, the ship has no real entertainment on board, just some lame activities. We have cruised several times on Royal Caribbean and MSC. Both are way better, especially in the way they handle things with guests. Next time I will return a Royal Caribbean ship.
