Creator's Key Takeaways

We've just mustered and we're doing something different for a change.

As with many of these older ships, the public areas are fine, but the cabins are dated, as you can see by the bathroom.

Despite the noise of the sailway party, Princess Cruises are definitely more relaxed and more laidback than some other cruise lines.

They have cancelled Grand Cayman tomorrow. So, we've got an extra C day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a European adapter for power sockets on older ships.
For private excursions, ensure you're back at least a couple of hours before the ship sails.
Consider watching movies on the pool deck at night for a better experience.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cabin might be dated and smallThe cabin is clean and functional; focus on the itinerary and weather rather than the cabin.
Navigating the ship initiallyIt's normal to feel lost at first; take time to find your bearings.

YouTube Video Description

It’s Embarkation Day! We board the cruise ship, Caribbean Princess, in Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale, for a 12-night cruising adventure around the Caribbean. But did we choose the wrong ship for this cruise? Is it too old? Don’t forget to visit us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/flydriveexplore We booked this cruise for the itinerary through the Caribbean and Central America, not for the ship itself, but we did want to try Princess Cruises again. Was our stateroom dated? Was the food any good, and what about the Caribbean Princess's entertainment? How will this 20-year-old cruise hold up for 12 nights at sea?
