MS Caribbean Princess is a modified Grand Class cruise ship owned and operated by Princess Cruises, with a capacity of over 3,600 passengers, the largest carrying capacity in the Princess fleet until June 2013 when the new Royal Princess, another Princess ship superseded its record. She has 900 balcony staterooms and a deck of mini-suites. She was the first modern cruise ship with an outdoor theater, which Princess bills as "Movies Under The Stars".

Caribbean Princess is slightly larger than the other ships in her class (Star Princess, Golden Princess, and Grand Princess), due to an additional deck of cabins called the Riviera deck. Another difference is that, being initially designed to cruise the Caribbean year-round, there is no sliding roof over the pool area for shelter in poor weather.

Current and future cruises

Caribbean Princess sailed her maiden European season from Southampton, England. She later repositioned back to New York City, New York sailing to Canada/New England as well as Bermuda. She then moved to Ft. Lauderdale to sail to 7-Day Southern Caribbean cruises. In April 2013 and April 2015 she moved once again back to Europe, sailing out of Southampton, where she sails various cruises around the British Isles and northern Europe and the Mediterranean during the summer and fall months. In November 2013, she began sailing out of Houston, Texas and will return there for the 2015–2016 season. For the 2016–17 season, she will reposition to Fort Lauderdale for a whole series of Caribbean cruises, which is what she did in the 2013–14 and the 2014–15 seasons. During the European cruising season of 2016 and 2017 Caribbean Princess was relocated to the UK summer home port of Southampton to complete 13 cruises between March and September each year. Aimed at the US fly/cruise market the Caribbean Princess is a regular visitor around England, Ireland, and Scotland. Now the Caribbean Princess sails in the Caribbean sea and Panama Canal from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
