Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Caribbean Princess
The Ship had 3100 passengers and we think it was at full capacity. We have been on quite a few cruises with different lines and ships and we have to say this was one of the best. The food, menu choices and service were excellent. The entertainment in the Theatre was superb with most of the performers having a stand up ovation at the end. There was also plenty to do on sea days The only downside was the cabin. However, we did have the cheapest so it could be said that we got what we paid for. The cabin had two bunk beds extra which obstructed our entry into the bed. The electric plugs were too far from the pillow so I had to have an extension cable for my sleep machine. The bedside table had two American plugs side by side, but were in effect only one as two adapters would not fit. There was an American plug in the bathroom so we could charge a mobile phone.
The service for Full Suite guests has been downgraded. No coffee or tea in the cabin. Bottled water limited to two small bottles, if you want more you have to pay. Concierge service removed. The Guest Services supervisor is meant to be a replacement, but they didn't even make contact. No contact available for the cabin attendant, you have to ring Guest Services who don't answer the phone. Getting Wifi onto your device a complete nightmare. You now have to pay for Medallion service delivery. I could go on. I expect much better and have cancelled my next Princess cruise.
cruise fine booking process particularly adding extras like drink and Wi-Fi packages complicated.
An amazing ship - it's not new and shiny but the staff and the culture of 'we are family' makes up for all of it. The Caribbean islands and central American countries were amazing locations.
