We just returned home today from our first experience with Princess Cruise Lines. Right from the moment we stepped out of the car to unload our bags in front of the terminal the port staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We were amazed how quickly and efficiently we were processed and on board the ship despite a large number of passengers in line for embarkation.

Our stateroom accommodations were very good. I called Princess in advance to confirm it's permissible to bring our own bottled water and soda on board which they acknowledged as long as it's not open so we stocked the refrigerator that is included in every stateroom. The cabin steward did a fantastic job of servicing our stateroom twice daily.

We opted for the Anytime Dining which we will probably not do again. On previous cruises we established a repoirte with the same dining attendant that you don't get with this option. Also, you are subject to waiting for a table if you dine at peak times.

Cabin Review

Balcony perfectly sized for two people but sometimes others on nearby balconies were smoking and we couldn't enjoy it. Closet was a good size with plenty of hangars, included a fridge which is a huge benefit if you carry on your own bottled water and/or soda. Bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was very small, but what normal stateroom doesn't have one?
