We said good bye to Fort Lauderdale in the rain. While it dampened the experience the greeting and service of the staff made for a great start. We do anytime dining and found the experience worthwhile as we can choose to linger or go direct to dining with no thought or worry about time. We had a meal in the Crown Grill where the food was terrible; we brought it to the staffs attention and because of cold soup and gristly meat they provided a 50% discount. We recommend Sabatini's - lots of food, great variety and wonderful attentive service.
We were surprised by the first formal night coming on the same day as Princess Cays, we remembered it as usually being the first sea day. It was hard to get in the mood for formal night after being at the beach all day, so we were rather less than formal that night. Enjoyed the second formal night,however.
We would have liked more variety shows but the entertainment was overall good. We did notice that there seemed to be a bit of cost cutting measures - no buffet at the deck party night and rather too many comedians instead of production shows, but nothing we couldn't live with.
