About the Ship

What Travelers Say About Caribbean Princess

Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Caribbean Princess sailing. Based on 2,500 discussions.

Caribbean Princess is a 2004-built Grand-class ship and one of the most storied vessels in the Princess fleet - she's the ship that pioneered Movies Under the Stars, the poolside big-screen experience now copied across the industry. At roughly 113,000 gross tons and around 3,140 guests, she's a large but pre-Royal-class ship with a mellow, classic-Princess atmosphere. Reviewers tend to either love her intimate, well-worn charm or wish for the newer amenities of her younger fleetmates.

What People Love

  • Well-maintained for her age with an intimate, classic-Princess feel
  • Laid-back, mellow onboard atmosphere that suits relaxed and older cruisers
  • Pioneered Movies Under the Stars, still a repeatedly praised family highlight

Common Complaints

  • Shows her 2004 age - dated decor, small cabins and cramped bathrooms
  • Recurring understaffing, with stewards stretched thin
  • Overcrowding on sold-out sailings strains bars and pool-deck service
