We cruise often and were looking forward to being on Princess again. We will come back if they figure out how to deal with Norovirus. We drove down from the Orlando area with some friends we met on a cruise several years ago who had flown into Orlando the night before and who would also be staying with us post cruise. We embarked mid-day and were on the ship in no time at all, we are Captain's Club Platinum and that might have made it a bit quicker.
We dropped off our carryons at our rooms and headed to the Lido deck for Lunch.
Cabins: We were in obstructed view outside cabin. A little worn and faded, but everything looked clean and tidy, tiny bathroom, good storage, (love the large open closet) The bed side tables were cheap and next to impossible to open without yanking on the drawers - My husband is 6'5" and thought they were locked shut - we finally asked our cabin Steward and he said to pull real hard. Kind of strange. Beds were very firm (hard). Linens were nice. Hair dryer was horrible. Good Cabin attendant.
Good Open closet with Cabinet with shelves and safe, Drawers in bedside table hard to open.
Partially obstructed window
