The Caribbean Princess receives mixed reviews, with many guests praising the friendly and attentive staff, diverse itineraries, and generally clean accommodations. However, recurring issues include inconsistent food quality, dated ship facilities, crowded public areas, and organizational problems with excursions and specialty services. While some guests had exceptional experiences, others were disappointed by service lapses, maintenance issues, and a sense of being 'nickel and dimed.' Overall, the ship offers good value and enjoyable destinations, but improvements are needed in food, entertainment, and customer service consistency.
