Princess Cruise Lines has just sent out a press release about the Caribbean Princess. 

 In a nutshell, here are the highlights of what it said: 

The ship has just emerged from drydock during which many of the newest signature features were added.  The Caribbean Princess now offers passengers a street-café atmosphere of the piazza-style atrium with its International Café and Vines, the wine, seafood and cheese bar; the adults-only Sanctuary; seven new suites; a more centrally located casino.  They also added the new steak & seafood restaurant, Crown Grill.  It has the new atrium that features specialty coffees, fresh baked cookies and pastries, paninis and tapas of the International Café, the Vines wine bar (offering a selection of more than 30 wines by the glass), and a selection of seafood, artisan meats and cheeses, and a wine shop where passengers can purchase their favorite bottle.  AMENITIES:  Adult passengers looking to get away from it all will be able to relax in the tranquility of The Sanctuary, Princess’ signature retreat featuring plush padded lounge chairs and the services of dedicated Serenity Stewards while enjoying refreshing beverages and light snacks, or receive a massage in one of two private cabanas.  Soon to debut will be a brand new Crown Grill restaurant featuring an open kitchen where passengers can enjoy watching as chefs prepare chops, steaks and seafood, including live lobsters.  As part of the renovation, seven new suites with ocean-view picture windows were added, and the casino was relocated to Deck 7 to bring it into the ship’s central entertainment area.  Other changes include a new location for the sports court, a new Limelight boutique, new shore excursions and Captain’s Circle desks, new Internet café and library, and the addition of flat-screen televisions in all staterooms.  Princess Cruises put up a photo stream on Flickr so we can see what the Caribbeasn Princess now looks like
