Sail Date: Dec 2012

Our second cruise with Princess was also our second cruise on a Grand-class ship, having sailed on the Crown Princess in 2011 and now closing out '12 on her Caribbean sister. While there were many factors that earned our return visit, and the accompanying credit card, a couple stuck out from our first voyage that sealed the deal when we saw a price and a schedule that worked for us for Princess.

Princess Mini Suites may be the best room value in all of cruising. If there's a better one, someone please tell me and that's the next cruise we're going on. Mini Suites give you two rooms, two tvs, an ACTUAL sitting area and a FULL-SIZED TUB to soak off the day's funk. All for the same price (or just slightly more) as a regular balcony room on most lines. They're truly awesome.

We spend a LOT of time in the cabin when we're cruising. We both have high-pressure jobs, and we really kind of devolve into the next thing to upright walking hillbillies on a cruise. Yes, we still bathe and present ourselves in a non-threatening way, but we take our relaxation seriously. For example, two of our big accomplishments on this cruise were that we watched a season and a half of "Homeland" AND finished a giant 400+ page Batman graphic novel. That sort of commitment requires a serious room to do your work in, and the Mini Suite is just such a place.
