The Caribbean Princess receives mixed reviews, with many guests praising the friendly and attentive staff, diverse itineraries, and generally clean accommodations. However, recurring criticisms include inconsistent food quality, dated ship facilities, crowded public spaces, and issues with service and organization, especially regarding excursions and specialty services. While some guests had exceptional experiences, others were disappointed by the ship's age, lack of activities, and value for money. Overall, the ship offers a solid cruise experience but falls short in several key areas compared to newer or more premium lines.
