Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of their experience aboard the Caribbean Princess, characterizing the cruise as a mediocre but enjoyable experience. They begin by discussing several dislikes, including the absence of water slides, limited poolside loungers, and slow service for both the ocean now delivery system and the onboard bars. They also note that the tendering process was slower than their previous experiences with other cruise lines. Regarding dining, the creators found the food quality to be average, noting that while specialty dining like the barbecue at Planks was excellent, the buffet and main dining room breakfast felt unexceptional. They also felt the entertainment was somewhat older skewed and lacked the high energy they expected. On the positive side, they praised the ship's classic layout, the variety of pools, and the convenience of the Medallion technology for room access and tracking. They particularly enjoyed the 80s dance party and found the Plus Package to be an excellent value because it included drinks, gratuities, and specialty dining. Ultimately, they conclude that while the ship is a good option for adults, it may not be the best choice for families with children.

Creator's Key Takeaways

we just got back from our first princess Cruz on board the Caribbean Princess

the number one thing that we loved about Princess was their packages that you could choose from

this was just mediocre and maybe because it was such an older ship

we would definitely probably get the Plus Package again cuz that's definitely a good value for us
