I am a 45 year-old female and have taken 9 cruises in all- not a newbie. Cruised on Celebrity, Carnival, Royal Caribbean and now Princess. Would I sail on Caribbean Princess again? Yes, but would chose to return to another ship on another line first. We had an enjoyable time - but it's just nice to experience what else is out there...Here is my honest (and hopefully helpful) review.

Get there early - no matter what they tell you. It took about 60-90 minutes from arrival at port to boarding the ship. We were in our cabin by 12;30 pm.
