[*]First cruise was an unbelievable experience on a beautiful ship with very friendly crew!

Description<] ::

Western Caribbean

Since this was my first cruise, I was very skeptical of the whole "cruise vacation". I thought that a boat couldn't be too much fun and the food couldn't be that good - but WAS I WRONG!

I had so much fun on this cruise that I will probably not go on another vacation that is not a cruise. The ship was beautiful. The boarding process was extremely easy, although it took a little while. After walking into the ship, my husband and I were overwhelmed at how amazing and HUGE this ship was.

We had an oceanview room with partially obstructed view, which really wasn't that bad since we could still see out, and didn't spend all that much time in the room. Our room was much larger then I expected, and very nice! The bed was comfortable, there was tons of closet room, and it was spotless every day. Our room stewart was so friendly and always greeted us by name!

We went to the shows every night and ate at all the venues. There was so much to do everyday.

The ports were also a lot of fun, especially the canopy tour in Jamaica. I HIGHLY recommend this excursion. We also did the semi-sub in Grand Cayman and the Ruins in Cozumel (also a very good tour). Lots of good shopping in Grand Cayman! Could have spent all day doing that! Princess Cays was a good relaxing stop. I basically sunbathed and snorkeled all day. It was great!

The food on the ship was so much better then I thought it would be, as well as the drinks. We had anytime dining which was great because we could go eat whenever we wanted. The food was great every day that we went here. We also ate at the buffet which had so much variety that we tended to overeat everytime we ate there!

All of the crew members were so nice and if we had any problems, they were right there to help. One of the members would even come over to us every night at the theatre and knew exactly what drinks we wanted to order! What amazing personal service!

We will definetly cruise with Princess from now on! The serivce, food, entertainment, rooms, and everything else were far beyond what we expected!

Thanks for the nice review, musicjas3985. Sounds like you found out the secret that all of us here already knew. :biggrin: We're sailing on the Caribbean Princess next year, and can't wait. Princess is our favorite line (we also sailed on RCCL, Carnival, and HAL), but don't ever count out going on another line.
