hi I'm Gary bambridge of tips for
0:02
travelers today I'm taking you on a tour
0:04
of the Caribbean Princess it's a ship
0:07
from Princess Cruises it has
0:10
3,140 guests 1,200 crew 19 decks 1,500
0:16
and 56 cabins and in this video I'm
0:18
going to take you on a tour of
0:20
everything you need to know but let's
0:22
start the Tour by first of all taking a
0:23
look at the Magnificent Atrium which is
0:26
spread across three floors now the
0:28
Caribbean Princess was originally built
0:30
in 2004 but went through a major revamp
0:33
in 2017 so food and dining is really
0:36
important on a cruise so I thought we'd
0:38
start by looking at that first there are
0:40
three main dining rooms and the choice
0:43
that you have is between traditional
0:45
fixed time dining or anytime dining so
0:48
basically you have traditional fixed
0:50
dining which on my cruises at 5:45 p.m.
0:53
for first sitting and a.m. for second
0:55
sitting and The Palm restaurant was used
0:57
for fixed dining now anytime dining was
1:00
available in two other restaurants the
1:02
Island restaurant and the coral dining
1:04
rooms and anytime dining was available
1:06
from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. now also
1:09
included within the fair is the very
1:12
large buffet restaurant and the buffet
1:14
restaurant is called the world fresh
1:17
marketplace it's been completely
1:18
revamped in the refit and it's bright
1:21
it's Airy and there's all these
1:22
different stations where you can choose
1:24
all sorts of fresh food in terms of more
1:27
informal dining there's the Salty Dog
1:29
Grill which serves Burgers hot dogss and
1:32
street tacos there's also the slic
1:34
pizzeria which is by the poolside and of
1:37
course they serve delicious pizzas down
1:39
in the atrium is the 24-hour
1:41
international cafe this is in the Piaza
1:43
area it serves coffees snacks light
1:46
meals and desserts whil also outside by
1:48
the pool is the coffee and Cones which
1:51
is another place that you can have
1:52
coffee and also serves ice cream it's
1:55
very very popular and of course there's
1:57
also 24-hour room service where you can
1:59
either choose from a limited menu or
2:02
they have another thing which is a
2:03
deluxe breakfast which does cost $45 per
2:07
couple and that includes champagne now
2:09
in terms of speciality dining there's a
2:11
lot of choice as well and the actual
2:13
search charge for these varies based on
2:15
the restaurant in terms of slightly more
2:17
informal dining there is the Steamer
2:19
Seafood here you can choose from black
2:22
and blue muscles or you can have classic
2:24
clam steamers or a broiled platter but
2:27
basically it's delicious Seafood the
2:29
other thing they have is a restaurant
2:31
called planks barbecue and this is sort
2:33
of an American Style Diner but it has a
2:35
really interesting setup where basically
2:38
you choose from six different meats and
2:40
your plank is loaded with four different
2:42
meats and it really was quite a
2:45
magnificent restaurant both of those
2:46
cost about
2:48
$12 per person now a very popular
2:51
standard onboard Princess Cruises is
2:53
sabatinas this is an Italian restaurant
2:56
which serves delicious uh pastas and you
2:59
know traditional Italian dishes at the
3:01
time of recording sais cost $25 per
3:04
person now the most expensive specialty
3:06
restaurant is Crown Grill this is a
3:08
steakhouse restaurant but also serves
3:11
Seafood the other option is Vines which
3:14
is a wine bar and they serve tapis type
3:16
food or sushi so as you can see there's
3:19
a lot of choices in terms of informal
3:21
dining more formal dining both included
3:23
and excluded from the fair so let's talk
3:26
about bars and loues there's a lot of
3:28
choice on board the Caribbean princess
3:30
again a great advantage of traveling on
3:32
a big ship I'm going to start with one
3:33
of the most spectacular venues and this
3:35
is called the Skywalkers night club it
3:38
has magnificent views up here and is a
3:40
very popular venue sort of late into the
3:42
evening especially if when you're
3:43
cruising in places that have great
3:45
scenery Club Fusion is another great
3:47
venue it's uh at the rear of the ship
3:50
and on Deck 7 and here during the day
3:53
they will often show various concerts by
3:56
various artists and at night it's a very
3:58
popular music venue The Wheelhouse bar
4:01
which is very nautically themed is a
4:02
great bar again music in the evenings
4:04
and a very popular meeting place before
4:06
and after dinner the Explorers Lounge
4:09
again another music venue uh themed
4:11
around exploration and Egypt is another
4:14
popular venue and that's also on Deck
4:16
seven Kunis bar is a great place to go
4:19
in the evening again more music the
4:22
petza and the lobby bar are also a
4:23
popular place where people will go in
4:26
the evenings before and after dinner and
4:28
to people watch of course like most
4:29
cruise ships smoking is not allowed on
4:31
your balconies or in your staterooms and
4:33
is restricted in most areas of the ship
4:36
there is however a very specific bar
4:39
which is called The Churchill Lounge
4:40
where you can go and smoke cigarettes
4:42
and also pipes and cigars so let's talk
4:45
about outdoor activities there are
4:47
actually across the whole of the ship
4:49
five different pool areas now the
4:52
Calypso reef and pool is actually where
4:54
movies under the stars is held where
4:57
during the day and into the evening you
4:58
can watch movies on the big screen
5:01
further along from that also on Deck 15
5:02
is Neptune's reef and pool again a very
5:05
popular swing pool up on Deck 17 is the
5:08
sanctuary now this you do have to pay to
5:11
go to so you can either buy a halfday
5:13
pass or a full day pass or a pass right
5:15
across the hole of the cruise it's a
5:17
beautiful very as it suggests quiet
5:19
venue right at the back of the ship you
5:22
have the pirate View and hot tub up on
5:25
the sports deck on Deck 17 and then down
5:27

5:33
center which is in the Lotus Spa and the
5:35

5:42
entertainment well there's a lot of
5:43
things to do on board the ship the
5:46
Production shows and guest artists they
5:48
would perform in The Princess Theater
5:51
