Hi everyone, just returned from my first Princess Cruise. Just so you know my view point, I am 23 years old, traveling with a friend (Same age range).
Prior to cruise - Stayed at the Best Western Marina Inn/Yacht Harbor. OK Hotel, looks kinda dumpy from the outside, but rooms look to have been recently remodeled. Free Airport and Pier shuttle.
Embarkation - Went smooth, got to the port at 11, got in line and was on the ship by about 1230. It looked as if the first people started to get let on at about 1145.
