Please excuse my spelling errors as I might make a few. I am a teenager and I went on this cruise with my mom, dad, and younger brother. This was both mine and my brothers third princess cruise and my parents have gone on quite a few princess cruises. This cruise was very nice and I really enjoyed it. I cannot say that it was better than my other two cruises as I have forgotten a lot of the details.
Embarkation was really quick and easy. The only time we had to wait was at the airport for the bus. I think that the princess cruise reps there could have been a bit more friendly. At the terminal, we waited in a short line and we were able to get right onto the ship. Everything seemed pretty organized. We were greeted by employees that were available to help us to our rooms if we needed it. At the terminal, our luggage was taken so we didn't have to worry about carrying it onto the ship. It was then delivered to our room for us a couple hours later.
We had a mini-suite with a balcony mid-ship. Having the balcony was really nice and I would recommend it. We were able to fit all of us on the balcony nicely. The only issue we had with the room was that it was a bit narrower then we had expected. It was the smallest mini-suite we have ever had on a princess cruise. There was a closet and some shelves; however, the shelves did not supply us with enough space for all of our clothes. The only other issue we had with the room was that there was no pull down bed from the ceiling for the fourth person, so a cot was put in our room which blocked access from one end of the room to the other (as I said the room was very narrow). I recommend double checking before embarking to make sure that the room has everything that you request.
