Docked at San Francisco’s bustling Pier 27, the Caribbean Princess makes a majestic impression against the city skyline. As a member of the renowned Grand Class, this ship is a piece of cruising history—it was the very first in the fleet to debut the now-iconic "Movies Under the Stars" poolside screen. With 19 decks and a capacity for over 3,100 guests, the ship is a "floating city" with a special connection to pop culture; its godmother is none other than Jill Whelan ("Vicki" from the TV series The Love Boat).
Our tour took us through the heart of the vessel, starting with the European-inspired Piazza, a vibrant atrium that serves as the ship's social hub with street performers and quaint cafes. We explored the expansive open decks which offer unparalleled views of the Golden Gate Bridge, peeked into the relaxing adults-only Sanctuary, and admired the diverse dining venues. Whether you're a fan of maritime engineering or just looking for the perfect poolside escape, the Caribbean Princess offers a fascinating glimpse into life at sea.
