This could put you right to sleep............

Embarkation was awesome. Had a rental car (we went to Key West for two days ahead of the cruise), drove from the Marriott Marina with all our baggage and dumped it with the porter, returned our car to the National Car Rental place at FLL and THEY took us over. No need for a cab. Port check-in was an absolute breeze. As most know, Princess has assigned check-in by your deck/cabin. Well, our line had two couples in it already and one of the hosts in another section called us over, went and got our paperwork and did the honors. Not a big deal, but foreshadowing for the type of cruise service we would receive the rest of the time. Total check-in time was about 10 minutes until we stepped into our cabin, A743. Aft, starboard side.

Cabin (BC Category). Small, but more than adequate. Ample storage under the bed for two 26" rollerboards and two smaller ones as well. Height clearance was fine for those pieces. Refrigerator was good and cold, and our wonderful attendant, Anna, had it stocked with ice. She was awesome. The balcony, although small, was adequate for our needs and was private from above due to deck location. Now, as a side note, we loved being at that aft location. As much as I complained about wanting an upgrade, this cabin location could not have been better. It was right at the Terrace Pool, the bar (of course) and the entrance to the Horizon Court, I feared for noise from the Horizon above, but not to worry - there was none. Read more
