Inquiring minds want to know. Why Is Caribbean Princess called CB?

 

Never sailed on her but based on this thread, I would say that it means Crappy Boat.

 For future Greenland cruises Princess should switch to a smaller ship, or else be honest and state upfront, the ship venues will be overcrowded, tender waits could be up to thee hours and there will not be enough room on Princess excursions and limited non cruiseline excursion options in ports

 

It is not just the CB and not just Greenland.

 

We went to Tahiti on a Princess ship with 700 passengers. Now they go there using the Ruby Princess with 3080 passengers.

 

We went to the Falkland Islands on a Princess ship with 1200 passengers. In 2019 the Royal Princess went there with 3560 passengers.

 

These ports do not have the tourist infrastructure to provide an enjoyable visit for the number of passengers Princess brings there on a single ship. Many passengers will be disappointed when they cannot have the excursions (Princess or independent) that they expected.
