It's been awhile since my last post as I had been busy with a few projects. The 9 night cruise on Caribbean Princess was a nice new experience for us. I went on this cruise with the intention to NOT try to compare RCCL to Princess in every way. I will say this, it's all good with Princess. I may like some RCCL features better but that would not stop me from cruising Princess ships again. In fact, I am very interested in the new upcoming Royal Princess.
The Caribbean Princess is a large ship. I thought the decor was well done...not too over the top for glitz and neon as on Carnival ships. The food choices were excellent as was the service in the Horizon Court/ Caribe Cafe and the dining rooms.
In my opinion the itinerary times were not as good as they could have been. Mostly too short a stay on every port except Puerto Rico which for whatever the reason was all day and all night. ( Most folks said that was un-necessary and could just as well skip San Juan )
The weather was fair. It could have been better in my opinion as we had plenty of clouds with sun in between.
We had 4 new things for us this cruise.
1. First time leaving from NY
2. First time in a mini suite
3. First time in Bermuda
4. First time in Turks and Caicos
All in all....a very good cruise.
