This was my twelfth cruise, my wife's thirteenth and my daughters seventh, but our first with Princess. We had been wanting to try them for a while and this one fit our schedule well. We traveled down the day before as usual and had a nice day for embarkation, sunny and mid seventies. We arrived at the Pier about 11:30 and were in our cabin by noon. OUr Luggage arrived between two and three which is the fastest I have seen.

My wife and I, along with our daughters really enjoyed our trip with Princess. The Service in traditional dining was excellent as was the food and meal choices. The chocolate souffle is great. We sat at a large table (10)as we always request and enjoyed our table mates which makes for an enjoyable trip in that you find it easier to talk with people you have sat with over ten days.

Our cabin steward Dionisio did an excellent job and was always there with a smile and a friendly hello. We had a lower level outside cabin, I like a window and even have had balconies sometimes. Many enjoy breakfast on the balcony, but I am an early riser and my wife likes to sleep in a bit so breakfast is out. we did book a balcony cabin on our next cruise though. Read more
