Caribbean Princess was custom built to sail in the Caribbean

[Host Mike]

"Unlike its sister ships, the vessel was custom-built to sail in the Caribbean and other tropical destinations.

As such, it originally features a series of tweaks, including a larger amount of open deck spaces, an additional outside pool deck and a new alfresco restaurant."

I believe it was the first vessel with Mutts. In 2004, in St. Thomas, at sailaway from Havensight in St Thomas, I could see the envy from the pax aboard other cruise ships. At that time CB was wildly on-target for having the right vessel at the right time. The Golden years for Princess.
