We live in Miami so there was no transportation issues to deal with. The only reason for this cruise was to check out the ship as we have never sailed on Princess before. We are booked for a Canada/New England cruise in September on the same ship. We booked a suite for our 25th wedding anniversary and seeing as it is quite a large sum of money to spend we thought why not spend a little more and make sure we will be happy with our choice.
As soon as we boarded we went directly to the suite so we could get a look inside. The room steward was there, we asked him if he would mind if we took a quick look inside, he was extremely kind and allowed us in. Our first impression was nice and we were happy with our decision to book a suite. Then we went to see the cabin we had for the appetizer trip. We had a balcony room that was very nice and clean with quite a large closet area and a large balcony.
We then proceeded to the pool area to meet up with our friends who were sailing with us. The music was nice, the food was okay and the departing entertainment was fun. Day 2
