22-Day Mediterranean and Aegean Sea Cruise Aboard the CARIBBEAN PRINCESS

Many of the destinations on the Panama Canal cruise are not enjoyable. Costa Rica is not a great place to visit. For the Panama Canal we chose an extended tour so we could traverse the locks from the Atlantic to Pacific. The ferry ride was terrible. Food was below average and we sweated profusely in the heat. Celebration Key at Bahamas is a big joke! Why go on a cruise which takes you to a cruiseline owned resort with inflated prices? They cancelled my walking tour of the city so I was stuck here amongst patrons of 3 other cruise ships. Celebration Key is so fake and in no way represents what The Bahamas is like. I would never recommend this cruise to anyone. This ship just introduced a new country and Western show with their 4 main singers, of which 3 can sing. It was mostly boring, so I don't expect it to last, despite the hype. Good luck if you choose this cruise!

Went on a 12 day cruise on the Caribbean Princess and it was our Best cruise Ever and we have been on a number of cruises with different cruise lines - Princess lines has been the Best so far. Everything from the Excellent Service, Amazing Food, Great Entertainment - it was a Wonderful experience. My disability was not a hinderance, as the ship & crew provided for my every need - Excellent Service by the crew & staff and Great Accommodations by far. We live in Las Vegas, and we know good service & good food - we ate at the specialty Crown Grill dinning room - the food was Excellent, equal to any of the best Steak Houses in Las Vegas, if not better - the service was Outstanding. Every food outlet on the ship was Very Good - from the Coral Dinning Room, Market Fresh Buffet, the Salty Dog Grill, and even the Room Service - the food was always fresh, hot, and Delicious, with excellent choices - and the Service was Always spot on & Very Helpful. Our Servers in the Coral Dinning Room (main dinning) - Ness & Kahn were Amazing, they went Above & Beyond Expectations - Great Service - equal to, if not Better than any fine dinning in Las Vegas. The Maitre d' Demetrio in the Coral Dinning Room and the Hostess' Nelly & Princess were also Amazing - All of them were more than just service Staff, they were like Friends for sure. The highlight of our dinning experience in the Coral Dinning Room was the the Executive Chef Viore Moise, and Mariana Felblum, Director of Restaurant operations actually coming to our table and speaking with us like Friends a Wonderful Experience. Josh & Oz, our cruise directors provided Good Fun & Amazing entertainment - we had such a Great time with all of it. Getting on & off the ship was smooth sailing for us - even with my disability - the Security Staff was So Helpful Every Time! Our Cabin Stewart Dennis, was So Accommodating, Obliging our Every Need - going Above & Beyond our service needs.

The bottom line is that our cruise with Princess - on the Caribbean Princess -all & all - Was EXCELLENT! We are looking forward to booking our next cruise with Princess Cruise Lines

The ship is very disappointing, our room corridor smelled of broccoli or sewage, even after a few complaints. No one came to try and clear it up. Only a few staff were very friendly. The food was almost the same menu in buffet every morning and not much change for lunch, Dinner always had stale rolls and the menu was not impressive. probably worse overall food experience we have had.

The entire ship needs to be fully remodeled, the gym was very limited on weight equipment and very small. We went to gym the day we started in the Panama Canal and they let all these people just stand on treadmills so they could see out the windows, so we had to wait for them to leave, staff did nothing about it. Will definitely look at all our cruise options before we book with Princess unless it’s a new ship.
