We had transfers from the airport to the ship and when we arrive at the terminal there was a hugh line. Even though it was long it seemed to move fairly good. Since we took a red eye flight we did not have time to explore the departure city.
The ship was very clean, food was excellent, cabin was laid out well with good space and the service from everyone on the ship was very pleasant. As far as choice of ports go I think Princess Cruises made a very good choice compared to other cruise lines.
We love to dance and I think that the Cruise Director could have made a better choice. When most of the ship is a middle to older crowd, teen music like rock and roll is inappropriate.
We were very surprised that for an inside cabin it was very spacious.
