We left home around ten thirty and checked in at Princess. We were given group 3 and were in our room at about a quarter to twelve. We put a few things away and went to the buffet for a quick bite. Our luggage arrived around two and we we put our things away. We had a PH suite on Caribe deck. It was lovely! So much room. The bathroom was amazing. A full Jacuzzi tub and full sized shower. The commode and sink were in another doored off section. We had a walk in closet with a door. A huge balcony and two doors to exit. Our bed was super comfortable. Our dd had the couch bed and her own t.v. There was a nice curtain that we could put between the two rooms at night. We had a mini bar that was set up. We switched it out through room service for the stuff we liked. We got fresh flowers and they sent a huge bowl of fruit twice during the cruise.

We were able to order of dining room menu's for lunch and dinner, and could also get a full breakfast if we wanted. We ate at Sabitini's..suite perk a few mornings and it was lovely! Our table was early fixed seating in the International, our waiter and asst waiters were very nice. Our waiter was always joking around and very animated. The food was very good..with the exception of the crackling pork on Wed. night. Another lady and I ordered it and it was very gamey tasting. The staff was right on it and wanted to bring us something else, but we declined. My husband had the ice creams every night. I tried a couple of desserts, my favorite being the chocolate pudding..yum!

Our dd 16 made friends the first night and enjoyed spending time with them on sea days and at night. Dh and I played in the casino and I actually did very well! The first night was amazing, and I got a lot of attention from the casino staff. Free drinks etc. They sent a lovely bottle of champagne to our table during the cruise and I shared with our table mates. Our table mates were wonderful, two sisters together. We also had a mom and her two adult daughters. We looked forward to dinner every night. Our daughter enjoyed their company as well. We really lucked out!
