The Good
1.Platinum and Above Captains Circle Members Embarkation- Because of our number of sailings with Princess we literally "flew" through this. And the regular lines were long. We avoided another crowd by having a leisurely lunch in the DaVinci Dining Room. As suggested by other Cruise Critic members, we had the Salmon and it was great.
2.Dinner at Sabitinis, their Italian restaurant. It was well worth the $20 per person surcharge. The atmosphere and service were excellent. We worked our way through Artichoke Souffle, Mushroom Tart, Soft Shell Crabs, Veal Ravioli, Veal Chop (husband) and Lobster 3 Ways (me) and a Napoleon for dessert. Best meal we have had in a long time.
Nice sized room. Window not obstructed -- you can see the lifeboat below the window but you have a great view of the Port Side. No noise from neighbors. But you have a lot of noise during the day and evening from Princess Theatre shows and rehearsals. Noise ends with final show of the evening.
