Four single gals took this Christmas cruise wondering if it would be possible to feel like it was Christmas while sailing the Caribbean...YES! The ship was decked out like a fairyland ie: trees, lights, decorations, gingerbread villages, a real Santa sitting on his big chair, gifts for the kids, Christmas caroling, holiday spirit everywhere. Teams were signed up for a gingerbread decorating contest and 35 teams competed on pre-formed houses. I'm happy to say that we won!!! All four of us got a Princess hard covered cookbook signed by the executive chef (the author).

Embarkation was quick, 30 minutes from curb to being in our room. The room was an inside cabin but the placement of mirrors made it feel more spacious and light. They did a nice job decorating the cabins.

I liked the "feel" of the ship even though it was huge! It seemed like we walked a lot just to get around and I was always checking the signs to make sure I was headed in the right direction. Read more
