This was our 8th cruise but our first on Princess. On this cruise, it was just my husband and I and we are both in our mid-50's. Our past experiences have been on NCL, RCCL, Celebrity, and long ago the fore runner of the Disney cruise line, "the Big Red Boat." By no means do I consider myself a cruise expert, but I know what I like, and for the most part, I really liked this cruise. I had been told Princess never does anything less than 7 day cruises so was eager to try this for the sample Princess experience I believe it was meant to be.
Since these reviews can get very long, I will attempt to cover everything they ask you to but as to the point as possible.
EMBARKING: We live in FL so drove to Ft L the morning of the cruise. Parking was not a problem, nor was check in and embarking. In fact, it was one of the fastest, easiest check ins we have encountered.
