Thanks for the review. You sometimes have to ask where the omelet station is on Princess because there is never a long line like on other ships where people are waiting for their omelet to be cooked. On Princess, you just tell the person what you want, they deliver it to your table.

Thanks for sharing. If you get deluxe balcony, they give you a loveseat and the chair/desk. Plus a small coffee table in front of loveseat.
