My husband and I sailed on the June 11 cruise of the British Isles to Ireland, Wales and Scotland to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary (the kids stayed home with grandparents). This was our 4th cruise but our first on Princess.
Getting on the ship was very easy and quick. We took a train from the airport to Southampton and then a brief cab ride to the ship. The ship was beautiful and large with many different activities to choose from. It seemed like we didn't have time to try all of the amenities on board and I would love to sail on this ship again.
There were plenty of heated swimming pools, hot tubs, ping pong tables and sitting areas. There weren't many children on our cruise (about 145 total) but they looked to be having fun. The teens we talked to were very nice and said they were having a great time.
