7 Nights Voyage Of The Glaciers with Glacier Bay Southbound Cruise

Caribbean Princess gets 5 stars

The ship was in great shape; the crew were wonderful and our stateroom attendant was excellent. We loved the itinerary and loved the ship. All the shows were great and the Voice of the Ocean was a hit. This is our second time on Caribbean Princess and it did not disappoint. We ate dinner in main dining room and food was very good as was the service. Our favorite place to stop was international Cafe. Food and coffee was good. Lots of activities going on in the atrium deck 5. We ate lunch at buffet and a few breakfasts. The food was hot and salad bar was very nice. The waiter service for drinks could be a little slow; but not that big of a deal. We took one shore excursion in Grand Turks and it was well organized and fun. All in all this was a great trip for my wife and I

Friends Caribbean Cruise

Perfect cruise the ship was perfect we loved everything about it. We sailed on Sky princess last year and I was worried with how old this ship was but we actually liked this boat better the lido area was better the multiple show theaters were bigger casino was bigger and had the rap around promenade deck. We were in a group of 4 and everyone enjoyed the ship. Dining For breakfast the Buffett was weak but you could get made to order omelets and you had to ask for eggs Benedict but it was all easy to get. For lunch the pizza was a must throughout the day and the salty dog chicken sandwich was perfect actually didn't go to the buffet for lunch because the pool food was so good. The buffet was kinda small and a weird setup with the added casual dining restaurants in the back. We did the traditional dining we enjoyed every meal didn't have any dinners that were bad and service seemed decently quick. We had Steamers one night and it was good nothing crazy. We paid for crown grill one night and I do not think it was worth the uncharge it was good but not much better than the main dining. The international cafe was great like always a perfect late night snack or breakfast grab and go sandwich. The drinks were good was spotty if they had non popular beers but they did have drink tables and carts thought the pool area which helped with the bar lines at least from what we experienced on sky. Game shows in the evening were good cruise director and staff was great very entertaining. We were in the casino often and we liked how low the minimums were so you could actually play table games without loosing everything quickly. The shopping on the boat was great my buddy got a watch and he had a better deal than anywhere online and what I paid for mine in st Thomas so something to think about. Overall we loved the boat you wouldn't know how old it was if you didn't know loved the staff and all the memories they gave us. One of the security guys getting onboard the ship would remember my name and talk to me like a stateroom attendant that's just how caring some of the staff was. The medallion works great on the boat but struggled when you tried to order it to a lounge chair but would work in the theater so that was a plus. There also was a ton of pools on this boat they were never crowded even if you just wanted to sit on the side always space and easy to get a lounge chair even on sea days unless it was like noon but that is understandable. Overall truly a great ship loved everything on it and a great trip overall and the princess crowd is perfect friendly but not to crazy.

A Solid 5

A little background, we are seasoned cruisers in our 60's that have cruised every year since 2009, our son and daughter were 7 and 8 at the time. Since they are young adults now, my husband and I are cruising mostly solo. We have cruised mostly in the Caribbean and Bermuda and last year Alaska. 2 years ago we did our first Med Cruise and are looking forward to many more. We have cruised on NCL, Costa, Celebrity and Royal. We booked this cruise for two reasons. First to escape this dreadfully cold, dark and snowy Winter, second to try a different cruise line. We didn't care where it was going, just that the weather hopefully would be warmer and sunnier then here at home. Now that we are cruising without young kids, we prefer smaller ships without all the bells and whistles we don't use. The Caribbean Princess fit that criteria perfectly for us. We both agreed that this was a solid 5 star experience for us. Was it without issue here and there? No, however, it was addressed immediately and to our satisfaction. I do not believe getting into the details would help anyone make a decision either way. I will just say this, report it, they will respond to fix it. Caribbean Princess was the very best Embarkation, Disembarkation process we have ever experienced. The Medallions are so much better than cards. I didn't lose it once! The App worked flawlessly for us. I must say I felt bad for the waitstaff on deck trying to locate people with their orders. We had no issue getting our drinks delivered when ordered on the app. I was deliberate to keep watch and when I saw our order on the tray they were carrying, I would wave to get their attention to where we were sitting. They were most appreciative. Food was consistently very good, in every venue we indulged. The VERY BEST Hot Dogs at Sea!! One disappointment I often have on cruises are the desserts. Not on this cruise, every one I tried was worth eating, EVERY ONE! We had a Reserve Collection Mini Suite Dolphin Deck, LOVED IT! Is the BR dated? Yup. After the initial entry, we didn't notice. We booked Reserved Collection for one reason, to show up for dinner when we wanted to with no wait. Priceless! We did not take any excursions. we just got off in ports and walked around and back to ship to enjoy all she has to offer. So there you have it. We would definitely sail her again, and encourage you to book her and see for yourself.
