This was our 3rd cruise, and 1st one with Princess cruiseline, my other 2 were RCL and Carnival.
EMBARKATION: Very fast, in less than 20 min we were on the boat.
CABIN: We had a balcony on the Aloha deck (12th floor) , it was very nice but a little small compare to Carnival Valor. The beds were very comfortable, it even had our names at the door which was nice, especially for us because we were traveling with friends and families.
