This was my 19th cruise. It all began with plumbing problems on my 2022 cruise on Island Princess. I had received a good will discount that had to be applied within a year. I decided to book a 14 night B2B cruise (from 1/28 - 2/11/2024) on this ship because I liked the itinerary and the ports would be new for me. This review is about the second week.

We all know how bad COVID has affect tourism. But Princess has really set their standard to a low point. Princess talks about loyalty but shows none to his Platinum or Elite members. They seem to be nickel & dimeing us. Their so called packages aren't suitable for everyone. They took away our earned free Internet minutes & dropped the coffee card. What's next - will they take away our free ...
Overall rating - around 3.5 / 5

We’ve had 18 cruises mostly with Celebrity. We booked Princess for the itinerary and as we were travelling with friends ( there first time) we decided on Caribbean Princess. Did not look at the age of the ship nor read reviews. We’ve always had great holidays with Celebrity (now we use the saying NOT-to fix something that wasn’t broken).. and Celebrity were coming home… NEVER USE PRINCESS ...
Again we started this trip with a drive to Boca Raton and a night at the Holiday Inn Express Boca Raton West. Upon arrival it was raining, so we stopped at Greenwise Market and bought salads for dinner then went back to the hotel to eat in the breakfast area.
In the morning we drove 45 minutes to the cruise port arriving at 9:30 a.m.. We were aware that we would be embarking at pier 21 and ...
We have always booked exclusively for itinerary and not the ship, but now we are going to change that to both. The itinerary was Princess Cays, St. Thomas, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Guadeloupe, and Antigua.
Antigua was such a pleasant surprise and it really stole the show for us! Such a breathtakingly beautiful island with super friendly locals. We took an excursion ...
My wife and I, who are long term Princess cruisers chose the Caribbean Princess because it was the perfect time to sail, right after Christmas and through New Year.
We have been to the Caribbean several times before so we were not really concerned about the itinerary just a warm place to go. We did rent a cabana on Princess Cays which was really nice with A/C and excellent food. Sadly, it was ...
We chose this cruise to celebrate a wedding anniversary and for the first time in over 50 years, celebrate Christmas at sea. We chose the CP because we'd been on this ship many years ago, and remembered it with great fondness. Sadly, the old girl is showing her age in many ways...
CABINS: the cabins need to be updated, the bland colours and furnishings are aged and any repairs have been ...
Overall: We recently came back from a 10-night Eastern Caribbean cruise over the Christmas holidays aboard the Caribbean Princess. We feel that Princess continues to offer a good cruise value, especially compared to some competing “premium” cruise lines, in most respects. The service (especially dining room and bar/lounge) remains generally excellent, along with the value of the Plus package, the ...
The good:
- Our room was ready when we got on the ship.
- The food was excellent. The beef tenderloin was truly the best we have had on any ship.
- We had anytime dining and arrived between 5:15 - 5:30 p.m. The maximum we had to wait was 10 minutes for a table.
- Puerto Rico was one of our ports and we loved it. We did the Princess walking tour. Our guide used a microphone and we ...
