Caribbean Princess

Aloha Everyone,

Caribbean Princess is one of the oldest ships among the fleet of Princess. From the design of the Fresh Market place on the 15th floor, it appears to have undergone recent refurbishment. 

The ship clock was advanced by an hour. After a leisurely breakfast, J.J. and I attended destination presentations on Stavanger and Olden in the Princess Theatre. The “expert” presenter, Kevin from Florida gave overviews of these two ports. If the weather is good, the two of us will walk around both towns and perhaps assist with the local economy. 

Olden has a population of 659. Our ship including passengers and crews has over 4,000. Kevin reminded everyone that while the town need visitors, to be considerate if services are slow. One interesting activities I noted was to take the Old train for US $20 each. Unlike Hop-on-Hop-off you just stay on the entire 45 minutes duration.

So far we’ve been having breakfast at World Market Place on the Lido Deck, lunch and dinner in one of the dining rooms. Met some interesting fellow travelers from Australia, Canada, California, Arizona, Washington state and Texas. When they learned of our current lifestyle, one question they always ask is what do you do when you get sick. 










Aloha -- Cathi
