Princess Cruises - Caribbean Princess Review Summary

Taking some time off? Viewpoints members gave Princess Cruises’ Caribbean Princess a very good rating. People who love to travel enjoyed the “amazing” dining that was offered. First time cruisers also liked the Caribbean Princess because “there (is) always something happening” –casinos anyone?-. Reviewers have had occasional bad experience with unprofessional staff and –ugh- sea sickness. Interested in other Princess cruises? Try Princess Cruises Alaska, Princess Cruises Mexico and more!

We sailed the Caribbean Princess last month. It was our first cruise on this ship but not our first one on the Princess Cruise line. There were a total of 18 of us ranging in age from 4 to 65. Everyone had cruised before and everyone had a good time.  All areas are rated 1-5 stars —… read full review »

 Princess cruiseline is amazing. They are great at customer service. No job was too small to be done. The dining was amazing (some casual and some formal nights); great waitstaff and wonderful food. Also for more casual dining there was a great 24 hour buffet. There was great childrens progam and good family activities such as movies under the stars (great...they even walk around w/ cookies and a milk dispenser!!!) Casino and bingo was great fun. All staff was extremely courteous and helpful. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely do it… read full review »

Princess cruises are always exciting and interesting. The one i went on this past summer was the crown jewel. It was delightfully pleasant and i had a wonderful time. The staff was excellent and were there for your every needs. The food was fantastic, especially for sea-food lovers like myself. The ship was a little rough going out from New york but after the first day it was totally smooth. The spa was amazing and the overall experience was… read full review »

I've met my husband on that cruise, to begin with. We had great time together, participating in all the planned activities and so forth. Service was also good, as well as food. I can't even imagine, that some people could have bad experience. All I can say, I'm sorry, that they could not enjoy such a beautiful journey and accomodations. Maybe, next… read full review »

As a former meeting planner, I have high expectations of the staff. We were astonished by how the Princess crew went above and beyond the call of duty. From housekeeping to the wait staff everyone on board was there to help make your trip a memorable one. The boat is beautiful with an endless amount of activities to do. From art shopping, wine tasting, shows, food, kids activities, to just lounging by the pool you will never be bored! — I am extrememly allergic to certain foods and a vegetarian. The head waiter brought me a menu of the next day's food choices so I could preplan my… read full review »

i went on a 7 day western Caribbean cruise and loved the destinations but not the cruise line. I have been on many other cruise lines and never had this same dissatisfaction. The cruise line over booked one of our excursions instead of canceling it, and my daughter slipped and hit her head because the boat was so over crowded. Then we shopped and ate at recommended places and they gave bad service, it was horrible food and they over charged us and would not give the boats discounts. When i brought this to the Cruise Shopping Director she said what do want me to do, it is not like you bought a… read full review »

When we booked our cruise (lst time with Princess) they (Princess) booked out airline flight with Northwest Airlines. The plane had a malfunction on the date we were to travel and by the time they decided it could not be fixed we could not get from Oklahoma to Florida to catch our ship. We contacted Princess and they advised us to meet in St.Maarten, which cost us three days of our cruise. We ask for some type of compensation and they refused. I would never go Princess again. That was unfair and I sent them a letter telling them so.  The ship was beautiful, our room and service was… read full review »

My family just returned from a cruise on Caribbean Princess in November and we loved it. We were traveling with 2 small children ages 3 and 5 and the kids programs were excellent. I felt very safe leaving my children in the care of the camp counselors. They have very strict safety rules and you must show an ID every single time you pick up your kids - from the first day to the last. The ship was beautiful with tons of things to do. Pools for all ages, gorgeous spa, movies under the stars, - never a dull moment. We even spent time in the library. The food and service in the formal dining room… read full review »

My daughter and son-in-law took my mother on the Carribean Princess last year for her 80th birthday and took me along too. Loved the ship even though the layout of the ship can be a little confussing. The food was very good and the lobster tails were wonderful, juicy, tender and big. If you wanted a second helping there was no problem at all.  The crew was very helpful and alway friendly. Our steward was great and was our waiters at dinner. Loved that the buffet was open 24 hours because after the shows we loved to go and get fresh fruit or a little sweet snack. It was a beautiful… read full review »

 I went on the Caribbean Princess in 2006 and had a great time.  The customer service was excellent and the rooms were nicely appointed. Princess has great values since the port charges are included in the cruise fare.  I really enjoyed the food.  They had a great selection of appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Better than Carnival's food by far.  The pools were nice and it was especially nice to have an adult pool we could go to in order to get away from the kids. —… read full review »

I had a magnificent experince aboard this beautiful ship!  It sailed at capacity, but I would have never guessed it.  There are enough spaces and enough chairs to accomodate everyone, so I never felt crowded or part of an overwhelmingly large group.  I recommend this new, comfortable, beautiful ship to anyone!  I also recommend getting a balcony cabin because there's nothing like being in the Caribbean on a private balcony with the one you love! —… read full review »
