Caribbean Princess is a Grand-class ship built in 2004, the #14 ship in the Princess fleet by size, with 15 passenger decks and a November 2024 dry dock that refreshed carpets and upholstery across its public spaces. Its heart is The Piazza, a multi-deck atrium shared with Good Spirits, Vines Wine Bar and the International Cafe. Evenings bring Broadway-style shows in the Princess Theater, Italian at Sabatinis and steaks at Crown Grill, while Steamers Seafood and Planks Bbq keep things casual up top. Days drift between Movie Under The Stars, the Princess Links mini-golf course, Lotus Pool with its retractable glass roof, and The Sanctuary, both reserved for adults. Kids head to The Lodge At Camp Discovery and Tree House At Camp Discovery, teens to the Beach House Teen Lounge, and night owls to Skywalkers Nightclub.
With six sea days on this sailing, there's time for Princess Theater, The Lodge At Camp Discovery and Princess Links.
