We just got back from our first Princess cruise and I have to say the staff are amazing and we loved the size of coral but the age was not really suited to us at 40 years old but we enjoyed it all the same,. The itinerary was fantastic and my favorite port was Nicaragua. I didn't think the food in the buffet was as good as Celebrity but the dining room was better.

I am still undecided on who does the best pizza between celebrity and princess but they are both fantastic. We loved movies under the stars too.
