beshears Posted January 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If you have been on the Caribbean Princess within this past year, would you mind giving me (yes I know this is YOUR opinion) your pros/cons of this ship? We are thinking about cruising on it, the end of March, or the first part of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier-Cruiser Posted January 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2015 We were on the Caribbean Princess in June and thought the ship was in very good shape. We had such a great time on her that we are going again at the end of March for Spring Break. The food was excellent and the entertainment was good. Overall, it was a great cruise.

Redhead75 Posted January 25, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm going on the Caribbean Princess next week. Our last cruise was the Royal Princess and I have to say I like the older ships set ups better. The Promenade deck you can walk around the entire ship and the buffet is set up better. I can't wait!

Lovetocruiseprincess Posted January 25, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Everything that Redhead75 said and more. No where near the amount of people as the Regal or Royal. Better show lounge than the big ships. TV's that can be used for video's. Shorter walks with stairs that can be used mid ship. Indoor pool.

It's been a few years since we sailed on her. Is my memory failing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1mauro Posted January 25, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just off the CB a couple weeks ago. I've recently cruised Oasis, Allure, and Disney Fantasy (all phenomenal ships). This was my first Princess cruise. Had a blast. The ship seems slightly dated but enjoyed every minute I was on her. ....and Sabatini's, Crown Grill? Just amazing. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruiseprincess Posted January 25, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Caribbean Princess has an indoor pool? It's been a few years since we sailed on her. Is my memory failing? No you're right - it's me thinking they did. I had to look back at my photo's to check. To many ships to keep track of especially bouncing on 4 different ones in the past 8 months. It was the Coral with the indoor pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted January 26, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 26, 2015 We sailed on the CB for a week-long cruise in August and then two short cruises a month ago. All three were fine. I did like the week-long one better. I would do the short ones again, though, if the price worked out better for DH's school break schedule.

momK Posted January 26, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 26, 2015 We are elite with Princess, and have also sailed Celebrity, Carnival, and Holland. We were on the CB in May, June, December, and earlier this month. We were very pleased with each sailing. Our waiter and asst. waiter with the Dec/Jan cruises (btb) were our best ever! I have learned that you find what you are looking for: we find friendly, helpful staff, good food, and reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Times Prince Posted January 26, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) We sailed Caribbean Princess twice in the period you are questioning and are booked for a Transatlantic on her this coming year. In general the ship is comparable to the Crown/Emerald/Ruby class of ships, with some minor exceptions. She still has the "shopping cart handle" for Skywalker's. The only area we found lacking was the mini-golf, where the Caribbean Princess has an upper deck midships windy putting green only. We're not real thrilled about having the Deck 7 location of the casino, and will avoid it going to/from the Princess Theater. Most everything else is the same high Princess quality.

flamomo Posted January 26, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The great thing about the "shopping cart handle" Skywalkers design is that it provides shade over the Terrace pool much of the afternoon, especially important when the sun is directly overhead. I did 9 days on the Caribbean in late August and really enjoyed it. IMO, everything about it was just great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted January 27, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Redhead75, I believe you said you were going to be on the Caribbean Princess shortly. When you have time, would you mind giving me YOUR opinion of the ship also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
