We have cruised with Princess several times before and this cruise experience will keep us coming back for more. We had a brand new cabin steward and he went out of his way often.  C104 (Cozumel Suite) is a full suite right at the very front of the ship, port side. The monstrous balcony includes a table with chairs and a separate area with loungers. The view was so fabulous, we watched entry & exit of ports from our balcony instead of joining passengers on outside decks. Closets were numerous and more than we needed. Suite amenities were outstanding: slippers, robes, upgraded toiletries including loofah sponge, superb shampoo, shower gel, lotion, etc. We felt like royalty! The food was fantastic. Our 9-year-old son says that he prefers Princess' kids program (called ShockWaves for his age group) better than the one previous cruise he took with us on Royal Caribbean. The activities were creative and he especially enjoyed the "Junior Chef at Sea" optional activity (well worth the $10 fee). The extras as part of the full suite upgrade were numerous and oh so lavish -- daily canapes, stocking of mini-bar once for free, gorgeous rose corsages for the first formal night, entrance into the special departure lounge for suite, platinum and elite passengers and on and on goes the list. The weather/sea conditions meant that the captain canceled the third port (Cabo San Lucas) -- sad but not a ruining of the holiday. Thoroughly enjoyed meeting other Cruise Critic passengers at two arranged get-togethers. This was definitely a cruise of a lifetime.
