The embarkation procedure was somewhat chaotic, but as we had paid for a Princess Grill Suite we did manage to get on board fairly quickly. (Note to Dun Thinkin - not all grill guests were wealthy, some had saved up for this cruise, and some like ourselves dug around on the internet for bargains - they are there, you just have to persevere).
