A multi-million-pound refit this year has left Caribbean Princess one of the best options for sailing from Southampton around the British Isles this summer.
The 3,140-passenger Princess Cruises ship has seven new dining options and new Princess luxury Beds in staterooms thanks to the £6.25million refurbishment.
New youth and teen clubs have been launched and the ship refreshed throughout with 63,000ft of new carpet.
Princess Cruises is in the upper-middle range of cruise companies, with mid-size ships that appeal to families as much as couples and solo passengers.
STATEROOMS
Princess Luxury Beds will be rolled out across the fleet by 2018 and Caribbean Princess is among the first to benefit from these specially designed sprung beds with two-inch pillow tops.
So confident is Princess Cruises in these beds that you can even buy one to take home after your cruise.
Staterooms range from interior cabins to ocean view and balcony cabins, mini-suites and club class – which are mini-suites with extra perks such as exclusive dining areas.
There are also two-bedroom two-bathroom family suites and plus wheelchair accessible staterooms that have shower rooms, an easy-access closet and accessible writing desk.
