Overall, this was a great cruise which lived up to the high standards of Princess Cruises. Here is my full review.
Embarkation: As a Platinum Captain's Circle member, we had priority boarding. There was some confusion about whether it was priority within our deck's boarding time (2:30) or priority overall, but the good news was that after our Princess transfer picked us up at LAX when our flight arrived around 10:30, we were taken right to the port. Once there, no waits at all, even to get into our cabin.
Ship: This ship is very well maintained and clean. I like the layout because there is so much public space. My favorite spot was right outside the entrance to the Sanctuary. It was quiet and sunny, great for a relaxing day. The aft pool was also a cozy spot. Other spots could feel crowded at times with the ship being sold out.
