Only just got time to add my own review to the long list here. Hope this is helpful to members and also to Princess Cruises (who would do well to read and digest these reviews and act on them). We were on the 7-Night Southern Caribbean Cruise.

EMBARKATION: Always the most dreaded part of any cruise, since you fear waiting a long time and getting thoroughly irritated. To my surprise, Princess were very organized and the whole process (no more than 35-40 mins between arrival at Port and entering our cabin) was remarkably smooth. Definitely helped get the vacation off to a good start. We are not the sort to arrive ridiculously early so took the Princess advice to arrive around 3-4 hours ahead of departure time. It was perfect. No really long lines. The whole process seemed to move at a comfortable pace. People tend to forget that there really is no point showing up at Port before the cruiseline opens the ship doors anyway.

THE SHIP: With all the negativity of previous member reviews, we really were quite worried about what we would see when we finally boarded ship. The Sun Princess is not a new vessel and that is obvious as soon as you get onboard, but she is absolutely a very charming cruise ship. You felt at home and comfortable immediately. The bigger cruiseships are fantastic for the impression the leave with you, but the Sun Princess still has the same magic even without the scale and size. It's just a very comfortable environment. Well cared for and very clean vessel. It was especially nice not to have to trek long distances to get to the places we frequented the most on the ship. So for layout, the Sun is a very nice home away from home.
