Thanks for all the replies. I love that they are doing another refurb! I think we will stick wth the Princess cruise.

I actually LOVE the Oasis class ships. Yes, there are a lot of kids BUT the ship is so HUGE it does not seem very crowded to me unless you are in the promenade when things are happening. My daughter has only cruised on Carnival (her 1st cruise with dear hubby on a OLD ship) and Disney with me and the kids. I want her to have a WOW experience and feel she will not get that with Caribbean Princess. I am leaning towards Utopia because it is a new ship. We are looking at a shorter cruise for personal reasons. The 4 night seems better for me than the 6 since my DH will not be traveling and leaving him at home.

Anyone know about the shows? What musical?

Well, we are of the mature age LOL! My daughter is going with me and she is 51 & she is the one who wants a more peaceful cruise with very few kids. She thinks the Utopia will be full of kids and I agree with her. My niece and her best friend are in the other room and they are over 65 so this Princess ship is probably the right one for us. We are all very active though so we should have a good time. Going to PR and Grand Turk. Just hate it when people post such bad reviews.

We booked the Caribbean Princess for a 6 night cruise for March '25. There are four of us (all ladies) with 2 rooms (mini-suite with the reserve package). We have never cruised Princess before but I have cruised on Holland America, RCI, & Disney once. Looking for good food and a nice, clean ship. Reading the reviews and see a lot of bad ones about old ship, sewer smells and bad food. I realize all of this is subjective but we are paying a lot for this cruise with the reserve benefits. Now I have looked at a 4 night on the new Utopia of the Seas in October '24. I have been on the Oasis class ships 3 times and really loved them but not sure about the crowds (children) and the food. Thoughts?
