This is our 9th Princess and 14th overall cruise.
Embarkation- Probably the fastest and most organized that we have encountered. We arrived around 10:45 and were on board before 12. After boarding we were able to go immediately to our room.
Ship in General-Beautiful! Rich looking but not gaudy. Gold tones around with glass sculptures hear and there was very tasteful. We had little trouble getting around or finding where things were. Of course I carried the neat little fold up ship map everywhere we went. The sky walk that extends over the ocean is really kind of neat. I don’t think many knew about it though, check it out. The fountain in center pool area is kind of just there but people did put chairs on that section when the water was not on so it was not useless. And contrary to what I have read there are three pools. One adult pool by itself near the sanctuary, one center ship and a shallow wading type pool on the other side of the fountains. We did not see the pools overly crowded but the chairs and lounges were. We never had a problem finding somewhere to sit as we are shade seekers.
