 Yes and no. Caribbean Princess is definitely CB but CP refers to the Sea Princess.  Granted, all of this is a bit arcane and of limited value in "real life", but nevertheless, these are the official designations assigned by Princess 

To see this, open the link to a given ship on the Princess website and note the two letter identifiers in the web address for each ship.  

Actually it isn’t arcane info any more.  We’re also on the CB right now and I noticed that the url for the MedallionNet uses cb instead of spelling out the ship name. 

 

We were also among those who after initial boarding got to our cabin and were greeted with the message “Welcome (name). Access Denied.”

Not a very friendly greeting and certainly not expected! However the Housekeeping supervisor let us in. Said the issue was the timing. Something to do with official beginning of the cruise. At any rate we didn’t have to go to the PSD or get new medallions. After lunch every thing was fine.

I could be wrong but I thought the Caribbean P's initials were CB, while CP refers to the Coral Princess.

CP is Sea Princess.I think Coral is CO.

They did fix the propulsion issue, and it appears a dry dock wasn't required to do so. 

 

And the Crown grill has always been casual dress, even on formal nights.

Casual is one thing gym shorts and flip flops are something totally different.

Exactly!!  They almost looked like a bathing suit.  

 

Money guy walked into the MDR the other night with a bathsuit, tank top and flip flops. They sat him!

I'm getting on Saturday and plan to ask - very curious myself.  And I will be looking for signs of a giant hole in the side of the ship!

Lots of spray paint cans and a few drums of Bondo.  Good as new.....

Onboard CP now @ Cozumel.  Walked over to the other dock and it was invasion of the Carnivalites.  3 big Carnival ships..Dream..Vista..Horizon.  The pier was a madhouse

That it was!  I have never seen Pancho’s like that. We have gotten to know the manager and he said this was just crazy. His normal bartender was home sick and the person working was falling behind.

Amazing Crew at Crooners!

While not quite that bad recently on the Royal Princess they allowed people in the MDR at night wearing athletic gear and also teeshirts with shorts.  

 

Also staff at the door allowed passengers to enter the MDR as late as an hour after the scheduled time which resulted in the waitstaff having only 1:15 to serve those rude passengers before the next seating.  On the first evening late TD was delayed by up to 30 minutes & early seating passengers leaving late was the reason why.  Some post on CC if they’re unhappy with the seating time they’ll arrive when it’s best for them.  I’d expect supervisors or the maître d’ to prevent such late arriving passengers from being seated which makes the waitstaff’s jobs even more difficult.

A portion of the ship apparently doesn’t have any AC. Baja deck towards the front.

Ok. Don’t know why my phone changed to to money guy. It should have been one guy!

It was obvious to me that was another autocorrect situation. ☺️
