Our history - this was number 63 since 1984 we are in 60's. Cruising with life long friends who met as tablemates in 1988 onboard Carnival Celebration. Princess one of our favorites especially because of recent changes on other lines with nickle/diming etc on RCL and NCL. We have sailed most lines currently cruising.

I had read many of the negatives design wise here and they were correct!

Embarkation - Preferred line was FOUR times longer than non-preferred line. One xray machine for preferred/suite and three or four for general was cause. No one could figure that out? No matter went on regular passenger line zipped almost right in. You could cross over to preferred once through metal detectors. Easy fix, use preferred AFTER initial security encounter. All will get in faster. Then preferred and suite can be addressed!

Cabin Review

Penthouse Suite with Balcony

Cabin S4

The suite itself if you do not consider horrendous balcony was fantastic. Bathroom two rooms one separate bath and shower, other toilet each area with sink.

Bed large comfortable.

I dare anyone to fill up the closets and drawers provided.

Living room area plenty of room. Large screen TV's in both areas. Movies on demand no extra charge was nice touch.

Port Reviews

Bonaire

Liked this stop just walked near ship but gorgeous and nice atmosphere, Looked like a gorgeous island.

St. Thomas

Been there many times. Paradise point trolley nice if first timer why over priced if not. We docked at opposite piers from Haversight Mall so took van over, was closed since no ships in.

St Thomas is kind of like going to NJ only with clear water.

Princess Cays

didn't dail there bypassed because of storm. Excellent in previous visits.

Aruba

Did some shopping.
