Anyone on the Caribbean Princess Now?

[Ep010835]

Looking at the present plotting, she's just coming up on Guantanamo, Cuba. Wondering how things are going on the cruise?

We board when she arrives back in FLL on 11/25. Can't wait!!

Just got off the Caribbean Princess.  Outstanding cruise and entertainment.  Trinidad is one port that  Princess should not go to.  Trinidad is not ready for tourist or cruise ships and will probably not be for a long time.  Dock did not have any cleats to tie up and is in poor shape.  Ocean is brown and smells as they discharge sewage in the Ocean and rivers.   Trinidad also  dumps their garbage in the Ocean.  Crime on Trinidad is one of the highest in the world.  Our State department has designated the Port of Spain as "Do not travel" , the highest warning that the USA State Department has.   Princess, on our cruise did not issue any warnings (Health or Crime)  about Trinidad.  I know of one person that was robbed on the street, 6 blocks from the ship.  We took the Princess beach tour and when we got to the beach, its was covered with garbage and the water was brown.  No one went into the water because of the pollution.       When we got back to the ship from our beach tour, I asked Princess for a refund for the beach tour and they gave the refund to us.  Outside the bad experience in Trinidad, the cruise on the Caribbean Princess was one of the best cruises that we have taken in the Caribbean.  The Internet is extremely fast.

Great review. Thanks!

 

We've been wondering about Trinidad as we've heard other warnings about the place. Sounds like this may very well be one of those "stay on the boat" places.
