This was the tenth cruise for my husband and I, and our first cruise on Princess Cruise Line. We have taken four cruises on Carnival, three on Norwegian, one Royal Caribbean, one on Holland American.
Embarking went well in Galveston. We waited in line for about 75 minutes, which is very normal. We took our luggage with us on board so we would not have to wait for it.
I got motion sickness on the second day. The waves were only about 5 feet high but the ship was rocking too much. I think the stabilizers were not in use. Many people were complaining. We have been on seas up to 20 feet high and I did not get sick. I took medicine and it helped a little. So that started my first Princess cruise.
