I booked an inside cabin 744 in the same general area as you were. How did you find it for noise (above deck) and how busy were the hallways considering so close to the pool?

Thanks

Just came off the CP Cabin R743 for 2 weeks over Christmas on the Circle Caribbean itinerary. No issues. We were in all ports on time all the way down to Aruba and back. I did not find any fault with the ship at all to be honest. We've sailed on her previously and found the changes and additions to be fresh and attractive. As for the AC, it has been my experience that the system does not like being set all the way down at the lowest setting. Use the level one above lowest. Also, and I assume most know this, the sliding door of balcony cabins effects the AC in the cabin. Make sure your slider is closed and locked as the AC will turn off if the door is left open.

 

Unrelated but interesting, we had a Medical evacuation of a young boy with appendicitis on our last evening on our way back to Port Everglades. The ship kept a steady pace at a pretty good clip as a coast guard helicopter hovered above the ship lowering a basket to retrieve the teen and his dad.

 

In all from my very recent experience I wouldn't hesitate to book a cruise on this ship. As with anything, every day is a new adventure and anything can happen no matter which ship you choose, but if you are looking for a systematic flaw to lead you away from Caribbean Princess I don't think that there is a real problem that has consistently negatively effected the ship to the point that it should be considered a "Lemon" from a passenger point of view. What goes on behind the scenes really isn't the concern of the passengers if it doesn't negatively effect them. For all I know Clopatra's rowing crew was down there getting us from Island to Island... and they did a fine job of it. Happy Cruising all!!
