Caribbean Princess Questions

Greets all!

Third time cruiser here. (HAL Westerdam, '02 - Celebrity Mercury, '03-
Carnival Fascination, '04)
Looking at the Caribbean Princess in February, 2006, doing the eastern
Caribbean route. Anybody have any experience to share with me? Oceanview
vs Balcony (i.e.: privacy on a balcony). Worth the upgrade as far as room
size is concerned?

Most specifically, your negatives vs. positives on itineraries as compared
to HAL, Celebrity, for the experienced cruisers, including the amount of
rug-rats (important) and your opinion on the selection of cuisine available
in comparision to the mentioned cruise lines.

Thanx.
