We drove to Port Everglades from NC and stayed over in Palm Beach going and drove straight home after the cruise. We are a couple and have sailed 11 times including three times on Princess and once before on this ship. We arrived at the port at 1025- dropped our luggage and parked at terminal 2, it was convenient and cost 15 dollars per day. Breezed thru security and check in and then waited about an hour to board the ship. All in all a smooth process. I like that you can drop luggage and go to cabin when you board. We had lunch in the Coral dining room, walked a bit and did the muster drill. Our luggage arrived by 230 and we went to sailaway which was delayed 35 minutes as we waited for two ship officers to board. We did anytime dining and the first night we waited about 10 min for a table at about 630.

DINING- as stated we did anytime but only used the dining room three nights. The first night, little wait, and first formal night no wait. We did wait the second formal night about 15 minutes but we were happy overall and probably would choose this again.The food in all places we ate including horizon court, international cafe etc. was good. The pizza was fabulous and the sandwiches at international cafe were very good. We did the Ultimate Balcony dinner and it was well worth the money. We also dined one night at crown grill and one night at sabitinis and enjoyed them both. We ate off the ship in Curacao.

CABIN- we had an aft cabin and loved the rear view and wake noise. our cabin steward was Martin and he was good. he seemed to have a lot of cabins though. our room was plenty cool and our only complaint would be that many times the water in shower or sink was just warm...never hot.

aft cabin, loved the rear view, average size cabin, balcony was a bit larger but we did have a beam on the left side but did not hinder use. little wind on balcony- good size closet, small bathroom and small shower, plenty of storage space and drawers.. quiet location but a long walk to many venues. good deck tho as aft pool was up two decks, horizon court/cafe caribe up three decks..
