Enjoyed cruising on Princess. One of the highlights of the ship was "Movies Under the Stars." Such fun! Food was excellent and plenty of it. Enjoyed being able to eat when we wanted to and not some pre-set schedule. Nice fitness area. We cruised the Western Carribean. Wasn't that crazy about the ports of call, but that's just personal preference. Thought the price of the shore trips through Princess was a little pricey. We went through shoretrips.com instead. Worked out fine for us. Enjoyed visiting the Mayan ruins, but hubby & I aren't big beach people, so Cancun and the Princess private island held little interest for us. Had a balcony stateroom (won't cruise without a balcony) and loved every minute of it - slept with balcony door open most nights. Heavenly! Square footage of the room was a little smaller than some other cruise lines, but we were fine with it. We don't drink or gamble, but found plenty else to do on the ship. All staff we encountered were friendly and polite and our room was always cleaned quickly. Some have griped about slow debarkation, but we didn't think it was that bad. We found a couple of chairs in the lobby and played Farkle until they called our number, which was quicker than I anticipated. It was overall an enjoyable trip and we will probably cruise with Princess again.
