Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently went back on board Caribbean Princess with a friend to make sure that the flattering review I shared just a few months ago is still accurate

the ship itself is still in great shape and yes the plumbing and a was working just fine for me and everyone I spoke to

the crew almost everyone from the bartenders to the servers offered very warm and friendly Hospitality that I haven't seen consistently on other princess ships

it's sad to see that the Shady Pines faction seems to be winning so far

Creator's Tips & Advice

If modern design touches are important to you, Caribbean is definitely not for you and you should stick with newer ships
