Comments

This was the first cruise for my husband and me, and overall we were very impressed with Princess. We arrived at the airport right after lunch and I
did not expect to get to board the ship early, but we were ushered right on board. At first glance I was astonished by the mere size and beauty of
the ship. As soon as we found our room (Dolphin Deck), we went exploring. The ship is absolutely beautiful.

As we walked into the Regency dining room the first night, I was worried that we might get stuck with some blah tablemates. Although we were the
youngest at our table, we had such a good time with all of the people we met. We really looked forward to each night so that we could visit with each
other. In addition to the great company and waiters, the food was excellent. The only difficulty was in making a decision! Our watiers (Ilidio and
Tamas) spoiled us all each evening by bringing us extra desserts so that we could taste them all.

We chose this particular itinerary for the Grand Cayman port, but due to really rough seas, we could not tender into port. I was very disappointed by
this, but there is really nothing you can do about the situation. I was really worried about going to Jamaica because I had heard so many negative
reviews; however, I enjoyed the port. The people did not harass us, and a polite 'no, thank you' worked very well. My favorite port was Cozumel. My
only complaint is that you don't have enough time to really see Cozumel. We plan to fly there in a future vacation to see more of the place.

Overall, I was very pleased with our cruise, and I will definitely cruise again. Hopefully, though, before our next cruise, the cruise line will do
something about the 'cheesy' entertainment!
