Caribbean Princess

First Installment

This ship is truly impressive!
We got our first look from the air
as we landed in Ft. Lauderdale. Even from above, you can see that
this is an extraordinary ship. The added deck adds much to the
appearance and gives the Caribbean Princess a striking profile, even
compared to her large sisters.
Princess has done a great job making
this ship amenable to 500 extra passengers. There are acres of open
deck space for sun worshippers, an expanded and very tastefully
decorated traditional dining room, and larger buffet and Café
Caribe area for casual dining. Sterling Steakhouse is a huge hit, so
much so that reservations are nearly impossible to obtain.
There is absolutely no sense of
crowding on board. The new Club Fusion is a much more
passenger-friendly area compared to the Vista Lounge on the Grand
class ships.
Princess has a real winner on its
hands. There are a "few little items" to be worked on.
Already several small problems have been corrected and the crew
seems to be catching their stride quickly. We're having a grand
time!
