This was my first time on Princess, but will probably be my last from Ft. Lauderdale. Since it was a five day cruise, I brought everything on board, so my stuff didn't get wet. Yet, it took an hour to get from the booth to show I.D. to the terminal. It was raining very heavily at this point. Did not get on board the ship till after 3pm which was the latest I have ever boarded. Really impressed by the PIazza and the tile. The ship didn't seem as big as it realy was.
We get to our room and it was nice and not cramped. Ample amount of closet space and our balcony did not have a view from above. But could see down below on other people's balconies.
The first day at sea was the Cruise Critic meeting and many people did not show up. But it was still nice to chat with other people.
