Welcome to the Princess club. I was brand loyal after my first cruise. Other lines have their great points too but I feel at home with Princess. Hopefully your next cruise will be on a Royal Class ship. The newer ships are spectacular, same basic layout but much more space. I sure love the promenade and the balconies on the older ones though. Whether older or newer, they all have something to be admired. So glad you enjoyed yourself. Happy Cruising!
