I had no idea when I booked that we'd be the first passengers/cruise after 608 days (due to pandemic). Passengers and crew were so excited to be back. I felt like it was a very safe environment, given the pre-boarding testing, vax requirements, masks etc. I was worried the trip wouldn't be as enjoyable due to these pandemic changes, but the friendly staff made it worthwhile. It was our first time to St. Thomas and St. Kitts. We took the Princess excursions and again felt safe in our Princess "bubble." The production show "Bravo" was amazing and exceeded my expectations. We still requested a Patter and did our best using the Medallion app. The app was helpful texting and finding each other on board. I purchased the necklace to hold the medallion but would have also liked the watch. All in all the experience was first class and I can't wait to cruise again with Princess soon.
