This was my eighth cruise, first one on Princess. Im partial to Celebrity after two excellent trips (15 and 10 days) with them.

Embarkation  very quick. We arrived about 11:30 and were on the ship just after 12:00.

Cabin  C437 (Cat BA balcony); huge balcony  Should have used it more than we did. Regular size room  hate those small showers. Was disappointed when the cabin was a little dirty when we got on  last passenger left all of his hunting magazines in one of the cabinets and the were crumbs and a toothpick on the chair. Told the steward and he apologized. He was fine for the rest of the cruise. Location of the cabin could have been better  always seemed to be woken up by the stewards in the supply room across the hall at 7am; maybe Im just a light sleeper. Read more
