Our 11th Cruise, Age early 60's, no children traveling with us, Previous lines are Celebrity, CCL, RCL, and NCL.
We flew in day of cruise and were at terminal by 10:30AM. Too early- waited 2 hours to board, Our fault, but wanted options if there was a problem with our flight.
This was our first time on Princess. Chosen for the itinerary, Departure port, and Price of in inside cabin on a upper deck.
The cabin layout separated the bath / closet area from the sleeping area. This arrangement was our favorite of all the lines we cruised on. It allowed the early riser to get up and out without waking the sleeping. Seating suffers from this arrangement, but you can still sit on the bed.
