Review summary

This was our fifth cruise with Princess and we were treated to one of their newest ships.  Such luxury and comfort!  We have never been disappointed with Princess and will definitely continue to cruise with them.  A Caribbean cruise is so dependent upon the weather and we were lucky that we had warm, rainless weather for the most part.  We enjoyed all of our excursions, all of our meals,

and all of the onboard entertainment.  I must also complement booking through .  This is the first time that we have booked a cruise ourselves and United (and Pablo, our United Cruise representative) made this very easy and worry free.  And the bonus miles from United were an added plus.  I would definitely look at booking through in the future.

Ship tip

If you have only been on older Princess ships, be prepared for the newer versions. You will see that you can still find your way around pretty easily, but there are new touches that you will notice and appreciate.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Be careful if you are taking the hotel van to the dock. We thought this would be the best thing to do, and had 3 1/2 hours to get to the ship, but we barely made it. If there are lots of ships taking off on the same day (there were six on this day) and if it is raining (it affects how passengers are picked up and dropped off), you might want to take a cab that will take you directly to your ship. Our van made all the stops and of course, we were the last.

Grand Turk Island

If you take the van tour of the island, avoid the last one of the day. We started 20 minutes late and our tour was scheduled to end at the same time that we were to be back on the ship. Our driver got us back with plenty of time, but we wondered what we missed in order for him to do that.
