It was mine and my sisters 3rd cruise although first with princess and my parents first ever cruise.
We first flew into miami from london heathrow and stayed at the Intercontinental West Miami as part of the package from princess. This hotel was amazing, clean, beautiful, spacious and nice staff.
DAY 1: We awoke on sunday morning and had a leisurely morning by the pool at the hotel while we waited to get picked up via the princess transfers. As there were a few of us using the transfers we got told to be ready at 12pm and the coach will leave at 1230 however as we were all ready and the coach was early we left at 12pm - BONUS :)
