Let me start by saying embarkation was simple and easy. We had everything signed and out before we got in line; which made things go easier and faster. It took 30 minutes from the time we entered the line until we entered our cabin; which was a partially obstructed ocean view mid deck; perfect location so as to minimize the motion from any rough seas. We had about 12 hours of rough seas on day 4.
Of all the lines I have cruised so far, Princess is now my favorite. The food and "dedicated" service well exceeded our expectations. We chose the anytime dining option. You can make reservations for 3 days in advance; which I suggest. We encountered people without having reservations having to wait for seating and/or share tables. We always were seated immediately and at a table for 2. The service was very good but not excellent; until we found the Savoy and Miheala. We went there and sat in her section for the last 5 nights of the cruise.
The entertainment was good and varied. Something for everyone every night at one of the many different venues and lounges. Ranging from great production shows in the theater to comedians and music groups in the Explorer Lounge to string quartets in the Atrium.
Small cabin at 160 sq feet but well laid out. It had a large closet; with an armoire for folded clothes as well as a safe for valuables. great use of floor plan
