With such a great price offering and the stress of the holidays and "Irma" recovery, this was the perfect opportunity to get away and relax. That is what we did. This was the biggest ship we have sailed and we found it comfortable and fun. With the exception of Princess's penchant to mess with the rear elevator destinations, we found the ship easy to get around and not as big as I had imagined. Our cabin was a comfortable balcony and we spent more time outside than on recent cruises. The cabin was very clean and our room steward was top notch. Thanks Clare-Marie. We did anytime dining for the first time and had wonderful table mates on the nights we chose to go to the Main Dining Room. We also went to the Crab Shack and to the Crown Grill. We did not succeed in eating our way through either menu. Wow, lot's of food and delicious too. We found the food every where on the ship to our satisfaction, but the atmosphere at the BBQ grill in the evening was chilly. We did not go to the production shows or to the theater entertainment but enjoyed the other music around the ship. Especially Perry Grant. Service everywhere was prompt, efficient, and friendly with the bar service at Crooners and the Wheelhouse spot on. What a crowd at the BOGO's in the afternoon. Lot's of fun there too.Although we did not take any shore excursions, we had been to all of the ports except Bonaire before, we enjoyed the ininerary and would repeat it anytime.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BB

Nice cabin, though a little small. Clean and well kept as was the balcony.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Easy to get to and from the airport. Always important. No need to get a day before if time prohibits.

Princess Cays

Nice beach area and good buffet. Found a place to camp for the day and got a noce tan.

St. Thomas

Been here many times so enjoyed walking and shopping. Sorry to learn Paradise Point will not be available for a while.

Martinique

Not much to see and do downtown. future stops will either mean an excursion or a day on the ship.

Bonaire

Similar to Martinique, but cleaner. Need to get away from town if possible.

Curacao

Nice town to walk around. We enjoyed just seeing what's going on.
