Caribbean Princess - surely someone has something positive to say!

[Steelers36]

The Captain's job is to ensure that the ship, passengers and crew are safe during their voyage. (That is, as they say, a full stop!)

 

Beyond that it is really just gravy. Seriously, I have never understood the fascination with the Captain being social. Safe navigation and effective administration of the daily operation of the ship and crew is more important. It is the Cruise Directors job to be your host and social butterfly.

 

In some ways, cruise lines are a victim of their own success. The officers and crew do such a good job of making a complex and challenging job look easy that many people completely forget the myriad of engineering, navigational and seamanship tasks being performed in the background that make cruising the great vacation that it is.

 

Too many old Love Boat watchers expecting the same thing in real life.

We sail Caribbean Princess in August and have been reading member reviews of the ship. Oh my word! People are not happy. :eek:

 

It can't really be all bad can it? Please, please can I have some positive information?

 

We have previously sailed on the CB twice and will be sailing again on Aug 29th.

 

We enjoyed our previous two cruises and are looking forward to our next one.

 

My biggest complaint. The shrimp cocktail are two small and no freshly squeezed orange juice.

 

Other than that we love the ship

Hey! Must be prepared for Love Boat trivia on the ship! :D:p

Have been on the Caribbean Princess a couple of times and always had a great time. Everyone has their own expectations of what a cruise should be and the first time they don't get the perfect ice cream cone all of a sudden their entire experience is ruined! Bottom line is we've never had a bad cruise. CB is a great ship and would jump on her again without hesitation. Enjoy your cruise!

No captain has ever danced in a show on any of my cruises! I watched the Love Boat religiously and that's what I expect! And where the heck is Vicki? :rolleyes:

We had a great 2 weeks on the CB in April. Don't listen to all the naysayers. You'll have a blast.

 

I'm looking forward to the 16 days I'll spend on her starting September 5th.....:):):)
