Caribbean Princess Review

Additional details
This was not the first time on the ship. No children. "Almost 50 couple" Highest level of Princess Cruiser, Elite. Don't like structure. Never do excursions. Don't do traditional dining. Yes, that type of couple. Dual Income, No Kids (DINK)
First, Fort Lauderdale with embarkation and disembarkation is just flawless. We know what to do as experienced cruisers, and they are just structured, easy to deal with, and very efficient.
This cruise was HOT HOT HOT ... no, I mean temperature it was scorching! The cold water pool was even warm and the cold water in the shower was warm. So know, this cruise was not weather perfect, but it is July in the Carribean!
Cabin Review
Balcony
The balcony cabin was great. We always try to get a floor or two down from the buffet at the end of the ship near the back pools. Did not disappoint. Seems more experienced like that too as the monitor shows that all the cabins around us was at least Gold or above. No newbies.
Seems there was more effort in making sure things were not "left" behind from the previous sailers like hair, etc., and there was not. But we did have a great room steward. Princess's beds and sheets are really the best for this grade of the cruise.
I hope in the future they can make the areas a little more and take a hit on the profitability of the ship because the rooms, especially showers, are just too small but that is on any cruise line ship. If you are going to cater to Americans, you cannot have a bathtub that majority of people cannot fit in. If you cannot accommodate that, just make the shower larger.
Very clean room. The balcony could use a wash down as some of the top of the walls between the rooms could have used a wipe down. Balconies are not wide as I wished, but they did their purpose.
Port Reviews
Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We live in Ft Lauderdale area, but the port does an excellent job at getting people on board.
