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

Warning to Pregnant and/or Special Needs Passengers

The information in your cruise planning book is incorrect.  Princess will let you book and pay for your trip but will refuse to let you board the ship later. 

Although we informed Princess staff at the time of booking about a 26 week pregnancy; we...

 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 again.

My husband and I have taken two cruises, both on the Caribbean Princess - same ship and even the same room! Obviously we loved this cruise line and this ship so much that we were thrilled to return for a second voyage. There is no vacation that seems like a dreamy getaway paradise more than a cruise, and Princess knows how to do it up right! I love all the destinations, but the days onboard are equally as enjoyable. One of our favorite features of the Caribbean Princess was the outdoor theatre - a huge screen above the deck. At night, all the beach chairs are covered with theatre covers and everyone...

This was my first cruise and I was not disappointed.  The ship was amazing.  There was so much to do and see and participate it.  I did not have enough time in a week to do everything on board I wanted to do.  The people working the ship were fantastic.  They were always right there to see if you needed anything.  They were so friendly and so enthusiastic.  I recommend Princess Cruises and Caribbean Princess to everyone who loves to have fun!

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!

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 ship.

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 unforgettable!

My daughter and her family love to go on cruises. She and her husband surprised me and bought me a Princess Cruise. It was so much better than I thought it would be. I had a fabulous time, the food, shows and activities were terrific. I would definately recommend this cruise to anyone.

Food was fabulous,but be forwarned about beverages,cocktail drinks are not the only beverages you pay for. Soda-pop,juice,milk, iced tea, & bottled water are also on your bill.

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 time...

I went on the Caribbean Princess in February 2009. I was not on my normal husband and kids trip. I went with my 75 year old Mother and Aunt, my brother and my cousin. I say this to show that there is something for everyone. I was at first amazed at the size of the ship. The staff is very accomodating from the first moment you are greeted. You first are gathered in a building built at the dock. Then you are sent into a room like an airport with lines to the various agents. Here you get your room assignment and keys. Then you get to find your rooms and that is not easy. After a day you get more familiar...

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 meal. I could mix...

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 diamond.... review »
