Pics: Caribbean Princess leaving Antigua 14 May 2009

[NETSEG]

chechebean,

We just got off the CB Sunday. Overall, the cruise and ship get high marks. Cruise staff and other staff were very good except .....

 

As stated in a few places here on Cruise Critic, we found the dining staff in the dining rooms and in the Caribe Cafe not very efficient or friendly. Our guess is they are short staffed. The food was not as good as we had in the past on Princess but I'd apply that more to the dining room. We found the food in the Caribe Cafe a pleasant surprise and chose to eat there on most nights.

 

On most of the ship the temp was fine. It was really stuffy in some spots in the casino however.

 

Jtmalt recently posted a quick review of the May 10 - 17 cruise which is "right on" with our evaluation

It was great seeing the ship sailing out of the harbor. I was on that trip but had the early seating for dinner and missed most of the sailaways. The ship is majestic.

Agreed: those are spectacular pictures! Thank you for posting them. Our next cruise is on the Caribbean (3rd time) and we will see Antigua for the first time. Can't wait to experience the scenes in those photos first hand. :D

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for posting them. And thanks to those who resurrected this thread. I missed it first time around because I was packing. The CB was on its way to San Juan to pick me up! :cool:
