Princess Cruises - Caribbean Princess Reviews

Music too loud in the theater

This cruise was okay but certainly not over-the-top. The on-board entertainment was mostly mediocre. The shore tours were overpriced and under delivered.

Caribbean Princess was old (15 yrs) rusty, lots of vibration & engine noise on all decks in rear. Beef in dinning room sent back every time. Did not stop at Limon as high winds & 15 ft waves. Very disappointed.

This trip had some problems. Some were beyond the control of Princess...lateness, etc. Our main issue with the Caribbean Princess is the meals. We had anytime dining and had to wait at least an hour to be seated unless we went very early or very late. We ordered breakfast in the room when we had to go on an early excursion. The breakfast sandwich we ordered the first day was cold, so we just stuck to cold things....except for coffee. The ship is also just too big for us, which is a personal preference thing.

Cruise itinerary was very good even though it had been changed by Princess. Ship was too large with too many people and not enough facilities. Excursions already paid for weren't available and ship was late leaving ports causing decreased time in the next port

Princess did not impress me on this cruise. Food just ok. Restaurant service extremely slow. Anytime dining took 30 min to be seated. Also 3 of 7 stops had tenders which takes forever to get off leaving less time for private tours. Most staff with the exception of restaurant still wonderful. I really enjoyed international cafe food and service staff.

Overall good value for money.

the 10 day cruise was enjoyable and full of adventures to be had.

On a positive note, thank you for your free perks.we appreciate that. We enjoyed the sights and sounds sitting in the Atrium. Also, our head waiter, Jorge, was excellent. On the flip side, the food was very mediocre. The best meal we had was in Sabatini's. The only excursion we took was awful. It was in Costa Rica, which we were very much looking forward to. Nothing that was advertised was true. The boat ride, the rainforest and the banana plantation were totally misrepresented. We filled out a complaint form on the ship, but we were denied any restitution. We were given the name of someone in the main office to write to about this situation. I feel that the excursions that are offered should be appraised by the cruise line before being put on sale. I don't think I would cruise on Princess, again.

Despite bad weather at Bahamas (couldn't dock) and rain in Jamaica, the rest of cruise was fine: food, entertainment, service and cabin all above average.

Food in main dining room quite good - buffet food was very bland and tasteless. Desserts looked lovely but they all tasted the same! Iced tea was like brown water. Blech!! Movies shown were marginal. Need to take into account your audience, which was older - most movies were the ones kids like. All excursions we took went off like clockwork. The cabin was lovely and bed divine. Breakfast on the balcony every morning. Heaven.... The entertainment was hit or miss but we did not attend every night. The musical/dance group shows were excellent!! There was an author who was promoting his books on the cruise and it became apparent during Q&A with the audience that he was quite a bigoted racist. We walked out on that one. Overall we did have an enjoyable time but wish the food was better. Staff were exceptional. :-)
