Hello.
I'm cruising on the Caribbean Princess in July 2008 for a family reunion. I've never sailed on Princess Cruise Lines before. Been on Royal Caribbean many times & Celebrity once. Enjoyed both cruise lines. Just wondering if anyone has sailed on this ship recently & their experience, good or bad. Looking for comments on the food, entertainment, & the kids club. I have a 3yr old & 7yr old. Feel free to add any other comments as well. Thanks!!!!!

P.S.-I booked an Oceanview obstructed view cabin...never booked this category before...has anyone been in this type of cabin on this ship???? If so, please post back...I'm wondering if I should spend the extra few hundred more for unobstructed.

I can't help you with the cabin but I have sailed on the CB twice and have booked another short cruise on her in May. That ought to tell you how happy we have been with the CB. I was just on her in September and she is in great shape. I keep up with reviews on others who have recently sailed and they are always polishing, painting. etc. to keep it in great shape. The dry dock was cancelled but I wouldn't be concerned.

We have never used the kids club but on our last cruise we hung out with people who did have children in there. They seemed to be happy there. When we picked the kids up one night we all went inside and it seemed like a very nice place. I wish we would of discovered cruising before DD grew up, it would of been perfect!

I have been pleased with the food on CB. They have a wonderful seafood buffet on sailaway night. Lots of crab legs, lobster claws and shrimp. DH loads up a plate and we have an appetizer before going to the main dining room. Shameful! LOL

We have enjoyed the comedians and some of the shows. We are just not hard to please.

I'm sure you will have a nice time. Hey, your on a crusie, right?

My family and I sailed on the CB on Dec 16 to 23. It was our first time on Princess cruise. We have sailed with Celebrity 3 times and Norwegian once. We choose our cabin with a balcony on the Aloha deck. The food was good. I liked the show at the Princess theater. One night they had a band called Beatles Maniacs. They sang Beatles song which was awesome. My daughter who was 6 liked the Kids club alot. Overall we had a wonderful time and so will you.

The ships of Princess are all stunning.
I went on the Emerald and there were 700 children aboard. I saw about three of them the whole two weeks, there's plenty for them to do, their own play area/pool etc.
I shouldn't worry about the cabin, afterall one only showers/sleeps in them. The beds are incredibly comfortable. If you've got kids in with you there'll be bunk beds. You HAVE to put up the bed guard rails as if the ship rocks, the sleeper can be thrown out of the bunk.
Apparently this happened on one cruise with a teenager and she ended up in a wheelchair, forever
