My wife and I had always wanted to see the South Pacific, but did not want to fly. So we were really excited to find this 28 day cruise to Hawaii and the South Pacific round trip from LA. We picked the March departure over the Fall departure since we had heard that the weather was better in April, than October.

Embarkation: We had flown to LA a couple of days early and stayed with relatives. We had been notified from Princess that embarkation would be late and would not begin until 3 PM. We arrived at the port about 3:15pm and found about 2,000 people waiting to board. Many had been there since before noon due to early flights. You may read some horror stories from them, but we allowed to board almost upon arrival and were at our room by 3:30 pm. Others were not happy about waiting so long, since they though boarding would begin about 1 PM.

Cabin: Our cabin was B631, a balcony that we got as an upgrade. It was a great cabin location. Not far from midship and not too far from elevators and the laundry. The room was very quiet. It was a standard outside room. About 170 sq feet. There was plenty of closet space and the bags fit nicely under the bed. It had a TV and refrigerator and a desk and extra chair. The bed was against an inside wall and that made the room seem bigger than the configuration where the bed is against the outside wall. There were sliding glass doors to the balcony.

Great Cabin. Nicely located. Very quiet. Right between two elevators. Balcony was a bit smaller than those on Caribe deck, but more private
