7 Nights Eastern Caribbean with Puerto Rico Cruise

Gorgeous views and great relaxation!

This was our first cruise and was absolutely wonderful! We had a mini-suite with balcony, which also had a sofa bed for our son, and also got the Plus package that included drinks, wifi, gratuities, and a few other benefits, which was well worth it. Having our own balcony was invaluable when it came to viewing the glaciers during the last two days of the cruise (and of course for other times when we just wanted to chill outside in our own private space). All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. The drinks (taking full advantage of our unlimited options) were not very strong (alcohol) which was probably for the best. The food options were very good, but the quality was just average at best with a few very good exceptions. Following the pre-cruise instructions including ordering the Medallion in advance made the embarkation process very efficient. We also did a shore excursion in each port and waited for an excursion sale to happen before booking them, saving lots of money. There is a lot of entertainment and things to do on board (we couldn't even get to everything we wanted to), so there was never any boredom even on sea days. We would absolutely do this cruise again.

Always good on a Princess cruise

Princess was just as nice as ever on this Alaska cruise. This time we included a land portion which took us to Denali State Park and Denali National Park. It had been a long time since we sailed with Princess. The Medallion app and medallions were new to us. I like the system, but it could still use some tweaking. Checking in and boarding was easy. Our stateroom seemed to have more closet space than before. We were challenged a bit more with navigating the ship because certain elevators do not go to some floors (and we are older, now.) The food was good, the service great. Staff and crew were over the top helpful and friendly. The entertainment was very enjoyable. We went to every nightly show. Glacier viewing was excellent, with the ship staying in one position for several minutes before turning. The ports of call in Alaska are remarkably unchanged and we felt right at home. There were not a lot of announcements over the system that would interrupt our conversations. (We have experienced differently on other lines.) The Caribbean Princess is attractive and laid out well. Her Cruise Director and staff are awesome!

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
