This was our 6th Princess cruise, we are from So. California and booked the cruise last October. We had our first mini-suite which we loved especially the bathroom with the tub/shower. Much more room for showering. I did take a bath one day and it was very nice. We didn't mind the balcony exposed. We wanted warm balmy sunny days, but instead were greeted with an unusual cold front. We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale and it was 47' at 6:00 PM. We stayed at the Sheraton Airport which was fine, just ate dinner and went to bed. Saturday it was also cold and windy, got to Pt. Everglades at 11:00 and were in the line for about 1/2 hour before they started letting everyone in.

We were Platinum and the line was about a 5 minute wait, and on to the ship. The sun broke out a little bit but the wind was the problem. The seas were quite rough and very windy until we reached St. Maarten. We took a tour of the island and than did a bit of window shopping, didn't much care for the island although the French side Marina was lovely. The ship was still rough and they had placed barf bags on all the ashtrays by the elevators, I guess alot of people were sick. We don't get seasick so we weren't bothered by the motion. One night they were doing 50's, 60's and 70's in Skywalkers and that was funny, you would be dancing and the ship would roll and so would all the dancers. One lady fell, I guess she was okay just got up and kept dancing.

Our table for 8 in the Canaletto dining room was probably our best yet, we had early dining and all of our tablemates were wonderful. The waitress Agnes from Poland was amazing and we made sure to reward her with an extra tip at the end, along with a comment card. Slavo was the assistant waiter and he was from Slovakia I believe, very attentive. We made reservations at Sabatini's for French night, we don't like French food. The service was wonderful and we thought that we could never eat 16 courses but it isn't alot of food. The lobster was from Thailand and was the best I have ever tasted. I had two massages in the Spa that were just okay, they were out of seaweed so I couldn't get that treatment. I used the sauna 3 times and it was very relaxing.
