Good thoughts regarding the Caribbean Princess

[CruzKnitr]

I had never done a review before but this ship had been bashed so much I thought I would speak up for it. The review has been posted. I didn't include the Medivac because it had nothing to do with the ship. Those forward port side were able to watch the proceedings from our balconies. I was impressed that even with backtracking around Cuba to meet the Coast Guard helicopter we still made our Cartegena stop on time.

 

I wonder if experience from the week before made them announce that the canal day would be anytime dining. We didn't try a different venue because the buses were very late. We went to the buffet and the overflow was directed to BBQ and Steamers area. It was the only time we ate dinner in the buffet.

 

Overall we had a good time.

Glad to read some positive comments about Caribbean Princess. We will be taking our first Princess cruise on her in a couple weeks (we are seasoned cruisers but just never tried Princess). I was beginning to get concerned about the potential experience. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for your review! I've mostly sailed "newer" ships (except the Golden Princess for Alaska years ago), so after reading so many bad reviews, I was a little apprehensive about my trip on the Caribbean (in two weeks!!!!).

Thanks for your time to post this! We've always enjoyed Caribbean Princess and so glad you did too! :D

We're on the CB on Dec 20th for our first Princess cruise too. I'm always one that takes the negative comments with a grain of salt, and am happy to hear some positive remarks! Thank you for your review! :) Some folks complain for the sake of being heard (seen) and to get a rise out of people. Good chance they are the same that have concerns about the line up at the bank, the price of gas, the freshness of the bread, the direction of the wind....

The Caribbean Princess is one of my favorite ships. We had eight people (four brothers and wives) on a British Isles cruise, and the service was fantastic.

Our last five Princess cruises have been on the Caribbean. It was not on purpose--just the way the timing and itineraries worked out. But we would not have booked it over and over again if we did not have a good time.

Thanks for the review.

It is refreshing to read a positive review of the Caribbean Princess. We have enjoyed cruising on her many times. Thanks.

Thanks, my wife and I feel better about our January cruise...I can deal with tiny shower and short shower head, it was the rest of the stuff that had us concerned...we always pack a good attitude and that has always gone a long ways..😎😎

We have completed 7 cruises on the CB for a total of 64 days with 4 of those cruises last year. We will be on the CB again next year for a 14 day cruise. The CB is one of the ships to get the ***** next year so it will be our first experience with *****. Obviously we do not agree with all the negative comments on the CB. We have found it to be just as good as the other grand class ships. Glad to see a positive report on the CB.

What is *****, please?

What is *****, please?

 

Ocean Medallion. It is a small round object like a coin (quarter size) that will replace the sea cards we now use to board the ship, open the cabin door, charge drinks etc. It is explained on the website and is being introduced gradually on all the Princess ships. Plans are to have it completely functional on all ships by the end of 2019.

I have become VERY skeptical of the negative reviews. Before I sailed on CB there were the same complaints. Got on the ship and we had a good time.

 

Recently the Crown is taking a beating here. We went on our Nov cruise and had a great time. They even had enough butter! @voljeep [emoji12]

 

We are really looking forward to the crown again in March.

We enjoyed our Round Britain trip on CP except for two things, the early cancellation of Lerwick and Anytime Dining.
