About us: My husband has cruised 5 times previously, all with Princess. Myself and my sons (12 and 10) have never cruised before this.
Embarkation: We flew from Toronto to Miami on the day of embarkation - Feb 8th. We arranged our own flights separate from the cruise, so we took a taxi from the airport to the Miami Port - $24 flat rate.
At the port the lineup wasn't bad - we arrived at about 130pm and were on board checking out the ship by 230pm.
Too small for four people, as we were always tripping over each other. Carpet was somewhat worn. Beds were not comfortable. Okay though.
