This was the last cruise of a very full schedule for us this winter -- we did 28 days on the Pacific Princess to the Amazon and back, then 49 days on the Grand around South America. This 7 day cruise was just for relaxation and to enjoy the ship. This was our 65th cruise on Princess, and 3rd on the Caribbean Princess. Overall it was a very good cruise although it started with an Anytime Dining Surprise.
Embarkation
We were staying at a timeshare in Fort Lauderdale so got to the ship early around 11:00 am. It was quickly through screening, short line to check in, then directed upstairs to the Elite Lounge with coffee and pastries. Just before noon we boarded -- best embarkation we have ever had!
very far forward could be very bouncy in rough weather. fold down upper bunks can be a hazard, best to have a twin bed configuration to avoid always bumping heads and shoulders.
